The seller is the company Poppelaars Properties. The retailer for outdoor furniture and accessories, Tierra Outdoor, which also belongs to the group, is a tenant in the property. The other rental units are let to the 3PL companies Oostvogels Logistics (part of the Neele Vat Group) and Kennis Transport & Logistics.

Jaime Sarrà, Senior Investment Manager at CREAG, explains: "The Treeport transaction is the largest acquisition to date for Catella Logistik Deutschland Plus Fund (CLD+). It follows our forward funding investment in the Maasmechelen logistics development in Belgium. We are convinced that Treeport Business Park will continue to benefit from high demand in the long term due to its strategic location and sustainability concept between the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp and other Dutch logistics centres."

Marten Helms, Senior Portfolio Manager at CREAG, comments: "With the acquisition of the multi-tenant logistics property in Breda, the Netherlands, we are strengthening the existing portfolio and the geographical diversification of our "Catella Logistik Deutschland Plus" fund. With BREEAM 'Very Good' certification, the purchase also contributes to the fund's high sustainability standards.

This transaction marks the 16th property we have acquired for CLD+. Due to the strong interest of our investors in the logistics asset class, Catella Real Estate AG is now launching its second logistics fund for professional and semi-professional investors, the 'Catella European Logistics Fund Plus (CELF+)'. With its pan-European focus, Catella is continuing its growth course in the logistics sector."

Catella was advised on the transaction by Osborne Clarke (legal advice), KPMG (tax advice) and PVM (technical advice). The seller was represented by De Lobel & Partners and Schaap Advocaten Notarissen.
