Capital returned early through stabilised refinancings, so distributions begin in year 3 and the J-curve is shorter than a typical develop-and-sell fund.
Modern, EPC A/B logistics is under 15% of standing stock in target metros. Vacancy sits below 4%, and prime last-mile rents have risen about 6% a year.
Online penetration is pushing past 19%. Every €1bn of online sales needs an estimated 70,000 sqm of logistics space, and supply chains are reshoring.
Prime logistics yields moved out roughly 150 bps from the 2022 trough. A 2027 vintage enters at a cyclical reset, not a peak, with green retrofit the value lever.
We invest where population density, e-commerce and reshoring collide with a shortage of modern space: the Benelux ports, the German industrial heartland and the Nordic capitals.
Benelux · Germany · NordicsAcquire ageing but well-located stock off-market, at a discount to what it would cost to build it new today.
Retrofit to EPC A/B, upgrade clear heights and yards, and lease vacant or under-rented space to modern occupiers.
Once income is secured, refinance to return a large share of capital to LPs early, then hold the asset for stabilised cash yield.
Three partners, 49 combined years and direct owner relationships. About 70% of pipeline is off-market or bilateral.
In-house asset management runs leasing, capex and retrofit. We create value, not just underwrite it.
Capital returned early through stabilised refinancings, lifting DPI from year 3 and shortening the J-curve.
Every asset underwritten to an EPC A/B exit. Green stock leases faster, finances cheaper and sells to more buyers.
We track the whole market and underwrite deeply, but buy roughly one in twenty assets we screen. Discipline on price, covenant, ESG pathway and exit liquidity is the filter.

Business plan, capex and retrofit budget, exit yield and financing. Independent IC review and vote.
Acquire, deliver the capex plan, lease vacant space and retrofit to EPC A/B on a fixed programme.
Refinance at stabilised value, return capital, then hold for cash yield to a planned exit.

Base case holds exit yields flat. Downside stresses +50 bps and still returns 1.4x net; entry at a repriced basis is the buffer.
Assets bought with in-place income or pre-lets where possible. Six-month lease-up delays are modelled in the downside.
Conservative LTVs, hedged rates, and no reliance on cap-rate compression for the refinance to return capital.
Across their prior platforms the three partners jointly deployed roughly €1.4bn into 28 assets, realising a blended 1.9x at a 16% gross IRR. Two representative deals follow.
Logistics estate bought €25M off-market, re-let and ESG-retrofitted, then refinanced with €8M returned to investors early. 2.0x · 17% IRR
Vacant-heavy light-industrial estate repositioned to 96% occupancy over 30 months, exited to a core fund at €52M. 1.9x · 15% IRR
Nordic Gateway · CopenhagenA Copenhagen logistics estate acquired off-market at €25M, re-let and ESG-retrofitted, then refinanced with €8M of proceeds returned to investors ahead of exit.
A vacant-heavy Düsseldorf light-industrial estate, repositioned to 96% occupancy over 30 months and exited to a core fund at €52M.
Rhine Corridor · DüsseldorfDeep capital, but too large for €20–40M last-mile assets and focused on stabilised core, not value-add.
Buy the stabilised asset we create. Our exit, not our competition, and priced off compressed yields.
Strong locally but sub-scale and without institutional fund infrastructure or a refinance discipline.
The right size for the assets, pan-European reach, and the operational team to execute buy-fix-refinance.

Distributions begin in year 3 as the first stabilised assets refinance. Net DPI builds to roughly 0.4x by year 4 and 0.9x by year 6, reaching the full multiple at wind-up.
