URBZ Capital Acquires Urban Cross-Dock Facility in Utrecht, Marking Fourth IOS Acquisition of the Year
URBZ Capital, in collaboration with NW1 Partners, is pleased to announce the acquisition of a cross-dock logistics facility in Utrecht, from PATRIZIA.
The asset comprises a 10,633 sqm cross-dock facility situated on a site of approximately 20,000 sqm, located within a well-established business park in Nieuwegein, one of Utrecht's prime logistics locations. Its strategic location, combined with a short remaining lease term, creates an attractive near-term opportunity for repositioning and value creation. URBZ intends to undertake a substantial refurbishment of the building to bring it in line with modern logistics standards, ahead of re-letting to the market. The upgrades will focus on enhancing operational efficiency, sustainability performance and the overall quality of the asset, ensuring it remains well suited to serve the growing urban economy of the Utrecht region.
This transaction marks the fourth acquisition for the IOS venture this year, following the acquisitions in West Brabant (Oosterhout), Alkmaar and Apeldoorn earlier in 2026. Together, these transactions add approximately 65,000 sqm of site area to the portfolio. The Oosterhout asset also brings a strong location with clear value-add potential, while Alkmaar and Apeldoorn contribute long term stable cash flow to the portfolio.
"This acquisition reinforces our conviction in Utrecht as one of the Netherlands' most compelling logistics locations," said Isabelle Schols, Investment Director Netherlands at URBZ Capital. "The combination of a prime location, short lease term and clear repositioning potential makes this a strong fit for our investment strategy. We look forward to upgrading the asset and delivering high-quality space to meet the evolving needs of the market."
We would like to thank 1530 Real Estate, DLA Piper, Savills BPC and ERM for their trusted advice throughout the process, and PATRIZIA and Savills for their confidence in URBZ and for enabling a swift transaction.
