Delin Property, the fully integrated European logistics warehouse specialist, has pre-let the entire 33,500 square metre (sq.m) state-of-the-art facility it is developing in the prime Tilburg-West distribution hub in the south of the Netherlands.
Trexico Logistics and Van Assendelft Importgroothandel have each signed 10-year lease agreements for separate units within the warehouse Delin Property is constructing in De Broekakkers business park, Gilze, beside the intersection of the A58 motorway between the cities of Breda and Tilburg. The warehouse is scheduled for completion in November in the redevelopment of a brownfield site originally acquired in 2018.
Delin Property demolished the original building standing on the site in the second half of last year in a redevelopment strategy to address strong occupier demand for modern and sustainable warehouses, which are in short supply. The Tilburg-Waalwijk region has ranked as the number one logistics location in the Netherlands for the past three years because of the excellence of its multimodal infrastructure and connectivity, the quality of its work force and the business-friendly approach of local government.
Rob Reiskin, CEO of Delin Property, said: “Signing pre-let agreements with Trexico and Van Assendelft underscores the attraction of this strategically important location for occupiers and we’re convinced both will benefit fully from what the new facility will offer. The high build quality, using energy-efficient materials and technologies, is our benchmark for the logistics warehouses we develop and will set a new standard in the Gilze market.”
The warehouse will feature LED lighting and an electrical heating pump, instead of gas. Delin Property and both tenants are intending to install photovoltaic panels on the roof to mitigate energy costs.
