Goodman also sold a 26,735 m2 warehouse in France on behalf of Goodman European Logistics Fund (GELF) to AEW Europe for EUR 16 mln. The facility was completed in June 2007 and is currently leased to a French clothing and accessories retailer.
Goodman Group CEO Greg Goodman said: 'These latest European transactions follow the recently announced sale of a 42,700 m2 pre-leased development for Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy at Récy in France and reflect the strong investor demand for high quality, well located logistics assets, with both transactions completed at approximately book value.'
