Prologis

This project provided Cushman & Wakefield with a great opportunity to leverage several service lines across our platform and helped Prologis realise their objectives.

Over nine months, our Capital Markets, Industrial, and Logistics teams all came together and played integral parts at different points throughout these transactions to support Prologis’ real estate strategy. Our market experience, an efficient communication between the different teams involved, Prologis’ trust in our skills were all keys that have contributed to the success of this project. 

Just before the closing, the coronavirus crisis started in Belgium and the project had to be put on hold for a few months. Nevertheless, with valuable advice Prologis managed to acquire a strategic portfolio during difficult times and at a fair market price. 

Prologis entered into the transaction with AG Real Estate to accelerate its growth in Belgium. As a result, they made the acquisition of five high-quality logistics facilities totalling 157,500 sq m in Belgium’s key logistics markets such as Beersel, Milmort, Oudsbergen and Kontich. The acquisition includes 80,000 sq m of land for the future development of 45,000 sq m of logistics space.

And the collaboration won’t stop here. Indeed, Prologis wishes to optimise their actual portfolio and expand even more in Belgium in a near future.
