Its central location within Europe, combined with advanced infrastructure and a strong trade-driven economy, has made the country a natural gateway for […]
Across Europe, the logistics real estate landscape is undergoing a structural transformation. For decades, the dominant mindset was simple: large single‑tenant “big‑box” warehouses: big, standalone buildings leased to one tenant formed the backbone of distribution networks. But rising occupier expectations, tighter land supply, changing supply chain models, and investor preferences are driving a shift toward […]

These assets offered scale, predictable rents, and operational uniformity. But in 2025, the logistics landscape looks dramatically different. Changing consumer behaviour, rising e-commerce penetration, sustainability pressures, urban land shortages, and occupier […]
Cities across Europe are shrinking the distance between people, goods and services. That shift is creating acute demand for urban logistics – compact, well-located warehousing and fulfillment solutions that sit inside or beside dense population centres.

Als het gaat om logistieke infrastructuur zijn er maar weinig landen in Europa die de efficiëntie, connectiviteit en planningsvoorspellingen van Nederland kunnen evenaren. De kern van dit succes wordt gevormd door twee cruciale verkeersaders: de A15- en de A67-corridor. Samen vormen ze de ruggengraat van de Nederlandse logistiek en verbinden ze havens, magazijnen en Europese distributienetwerken. De A15 verbindt Rotterdam, Europa's [...]
