Green Logistics combines economical and ecological aspects

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. Through our sister company Green Logistics, Aquila Group is developing sustainable logistics sites in Southern Europe.

Our Green Logistics strategy includes:

  • planning of solar PV panels on the rooftops
  • green building certification (e.g. BREEAM)
  • carbon offsetting through KlimaInvest Green Concepts.

Team

The development of green logistics properties in European Core/Core-Plus regions offers investors attractive returns. Our specialised team in Madrid and Hamburg have more than 85 years of experience in the logistics industry with a development and acquisition track record of > EUR 700 million. Thanks to the secured pipeline, investors have direct access to lucrative investment properties in a very fast-growing market.
