Macquarie Asset Management has acquired Goleniów II, a major Polish logistics facility, from developer 7R for an undisclosed amount.
The acquisition was made on behalf of Macquarie’s European logistics real estate fund.
The 63,000 m2 property is located in the Polish logistics hub of Szczecin. The newly developed site benefits from access to key sea and air transportation routes and offers direct access to key European markets through its close proximity to the German border. The prime property is targeting an ‘Excellent’ rating under BREEAM’s sustainable building certification scheme and is 100% leased to a major European logistics operator.
The purchase of the Szczecin logistics facility is the latest property acquired by Macquarie Asset Management from 7R in Poland, on behalf of its clients. In August, Macquarie Asset Management announced the acquisition of a City Flex logistics facility near Warsaw Airport, forming part of the last-mile logistics portfolio located in key urban and industrial centres in Poland that Macquarie Asset Management has been assembling over the last three years with 7R.
Christian Goebel, co-head of Macquarie Asset Management’s Core/Core-Plus Real Estate strategy, said: ‘The increasing penetration of e-commerce across the continent has enabled the logistics sector in Poland to flourish. With its strategic location close to the German border and strong transport links, we believe this property is well-placed to help respond to growing demand in the years ahead.’
