Beos Logistics, a joint venture between Swiss Life Asset Managers, Ingo Steves and Stephan Bone-Winkel, has announced that it is starting to develop its first logistics facility with the construction of an 85,000-m2 facility close to the ports of DeltaPort Niederrheinhäfen on the Rhine and Lippe rivers in Wesel near Duisburg, Germany, on behalf of a global logistics service provider.
Beos Logistics acquired the site from the DeltaPort Niederrheinhäfen group of ports. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
The property is being developed on a 165,000-m2 greenfield site. The majority of the leasable space will be logistics, and in addition, the new complex will also accommodate 1,600 m2 of office and social and 2,700 m2 of mezzanine space as well as 37 parking spaces for heavy goods vehicles and 200 for cars. The facility is leased on a long-term basis to a single tenant.
The List Group is the general contractor responsible for the construction works, which are scheduled to start in spring 2022 for completion in summer 2023.
'Besides this first project, our pipeline is well stocked and will allow us to grow rapidly,' said Ingo Steves, managing partner of Beos Logistics. 'With this project, we have created an excellent win-win situation for the tenant, Delta-Port and Beos Logistics. While the port location, with its outstanding connections, is particularly attractive for us and the tenant, DeltaPort benefits from having a long-term user and investor in place. What brought all of the stakeholders together, however, was primarily the focus on a solution in which sustainability plays a leading role.'
