URBZ Capital and Grosvenor Strengthen Dutch Logistics Platform with Two Strategic Acquisitions in Ede and Breda
URBZ Capital, in partnership with Grosvenor’s Diversified Property Investments business, has completed two strategic logistics acquisitions in the Netherlands, further expanding and strengthening their growing Dutch logistics platform. The acquisitions in Ede and Breda combine long-term income security with future-proof asset fundamentals and value-creation potential.
Secured Income in Mature Logistics Locations
In Ede, URBZ Capital and Grosvenor acquired an approximately 11,000 sqm logistics facility through a long-term sale-and-leaseback transaction with DSV. The asset is strategically located along the A12 motorway — one of the Netherlands’ primary logistics corridors — offering direct connectivity to the Randstad and the Rhine-Ruhr region. Positioned within the FoodValley region, the property benefits from a central location and access to a deep and resilient occupier market.
The transaction provides long-term, secured income supported by a high-quality global covenant, with a functional and well-maintained logistics facility underpinning the investment.
The partnership completed its fourth acquisition in Breda through an off-market transaction. The asset comprises an existing 9,500 sqm logistics facility, fully leased to Wilko Fruit B.V. under a long-term lease agreement, alongside an adjacent 9,000 sqm development plot with a secured building permit for a 4,500 sqm extension.
Construction of the extension is expected to commence in the near term, with strong confidence in rapid leasing given the asset’s prime location in the West-Brabant logistics market. The investment combines stable income with a clear and executable value-add strategy.
Platform-Driven Growth Strategy
Isabelle Schols, Investment Director Netherlands at URBZ Capital, commented:
“These acquisitions reflect our joint-venture strategy with Grosvenor to invest in high-quality logistics assets in core Dutch locations. The Ede acquisition provides long-term, secure income in a prime logistics corridor, while Breda combines immediate cash flow with a clearly defined and executable value-add opportunity through development. Together, the transactions further strengthen the quality and resilience of our Dutch logistics portfolio”.
Erika Birkett-May, Director, Asset Management, Grosvenor Diversified Property Investments, said:
“These acquisitions reinforce our conviction in the Dutch logistics market and our commitment to investing alongside high-quality partners to deliver long-term value. Ede and Breda reflect the well-located assets we are targeting with URBZ Capital, combining secure income with opportunities to enhance performance through active asset management.”
URBZ Capital and Grosvenor continue to actively source opportunities across the Netherlands, partnering with occupiers, owners and developers to deliver sustainable, future-proof logistics real estate.
URBZ Capital would like to thank Savills (both commercially and technically), DLA Piper and ERM for their trusted support throughout both transactions.
