Juan José Vera, general director of Valfondo Investment Management and advisor to Montepino, commented: ‘With this project in Castanheira do Ribatejo, the largest of its kind in Portugal, Montepino asserts itself as one of the main logistics real estate managers in the Iberian Peninsula. In Spain we already have a consolidated presence in the center of the country and we plan to expand and internationalize the activity.’

The project is located in a strategic area, at the intersection of the A1 motorway, which connects Lisbon and Porto, and the A10 motorway, which connects Lisbon with Spain and the Algarve.
Montepino's investment in this project is part of its plans to expand its geographic diversification and internationalize its business. The company is already a leading logistics real estate manager in the Iberian Peninsula and is looking to further consolidate its presence in Spain and Portugal.
