We are actively involved in three primary strategies in collaboration with global institutional capital partners: last mile logistics real estate, Industrial Outside Storage (IOS) real estate, and Mid Box logistics real estate. Our focus is on large urban areas and major logistics hubs, where we see significant potential for growth and transformation.
Last Mile Venture initiated in 2021 with Ivanhoe Cambridge (CDPQ) focused on building a portfolio of last mile assets in major Northern European conurbations.
The IOS venture with NW1 Partners is a closed-end vehicle supported by major global institutional capital partners. It targets sourcing and aggregating Industrial Outdoor Storage properties in logistics locations within the nation’s top markets.
In partnership with Grosvenor, our Midbox Logistics venture focuses on building a portfolio of logistics facilities in key logistics hubs across the Netherlands. This involves acquiring both leased and vacant assets, with a "brown-to-green" strategy applied where needed.
We excel in identifying and capitalizing on underserved and underutilized industrial and logistics real estate, recognizing the substantial opportunities for change and development in these areas. Our approach is flexible and adaptive, allowing us to pursue a diverse array of real estate opportunities in carefully selected markets that align with our strategic vision.
Our investment strategy includes acquiring existing assets, undertaking renovations, and engaging in comprehensive redevelopments, reconversions, and land development projects. By focusing on these varied opportunities, we aim to unlock value, drive growth across our portfolio, and achieve sustainable returns while making a meaningful impact in the evolving real estate landscape.
We are committed to working closely with our customers to address their challenges and define their requirements. Well-positioned and well-designed logistics hubs play a crucial role in managing last and middle mile supply chain complexities, optimizing costs, and meeting the service-level needs of tomorrow’s consumers. At URBZ Capital, we embrace this challenge and strive to create real estate solutions that support the supply chains of the future.
