Property adviser Savills advised ABN Amro Meespierson, the private banking arm of the Dutch bank ABN Amro, on the deal.
The logistics centre, which is a modern, sustainable development, has a total floor area of 28,000 m2 and is located near the A59 motorway.
Clive Pritchard, head of investment at Savills in the Netherlands, said: 'There have been few transactions in the logistics market in the past three years so this deal is a sign that investor confidence in the market is returning and confirms that overall business for logistics operators is continuing to recover and improve.'
