Sustainability criteria should be the standard for all buildings, including logistics properties, as they can be developed to be climate-neutral, sustainable, efficient, and even energy-generating.
Although economic growth has slowed across Europe, the demand for logistics space is increasing: one reason is the continued growth in e-commerce. At the same time, however, the supply of modern, large-scale storage space at prime locations is limited. The result: low vacancy rates and rising rents. We are therefore concentrating our investments on long-term leased respectively leasable logistics properties in the growth markets of Spain, Portugal, and Italy. For investors, sustainability criteria are often decisive for real estate investments and offer economic advantages.
The Aquila Group's development platforms are the primary source of assets for Aquila Capital's funds. Green Logistics by Aquila Group is our preferred partner for asset sourcing in the field of sustainable logistics sites in Southern Europe.
In addition to investment opportunities in fund structures we also design tailor-made investment solutions in the form of individual mandates or specific investment strategies and their implementation.
