Strategic investment in french logistics infrastructure

 

WDP (Warehouses De Pauw), a prominent Belgian logistics real estate company, has significantly strengthened its European portfolio with the acquisition of a state-of-the-art distribution center in Loudéac, Brittany.

 

This strategic move, valued at 41 million euros, involved a sophisticated sale-and-leaseback operation, securing a vital asset in a key French logistics corridor.

 

The newly acquired site boasts an expansive 53,500 m² footprint, specifically designed to meet the demands of modern supply chains. It includes 50,000 m² of premium rental space, complemented by an additional 3,500 m² dedicated to outdoor storage, offering flexibility and capacity for diverse logistics operations.

 

A premier logistics facility with sustainable credentials

 

This distribution hub exemplifies excellence in modern warehousing. It proudly holds a Class A certification, a testament to its superior construction, efficiency, and operational capabilities. Further enhancing its appeal, the facility has achieved a BREEAM "Excellent" certification, highlighting its commitment to environmental sustainability and energy efficiency, largely powered by its integrated solar panels.

 

Already a critical node in the region, the entire facility is fully leased to ID Logistics, a major logistics provider, with a long-term agreement extending until at least 2030. This long-term tenancy underscores the property's value and strategic importance within the logistics sector.

 

Unlocking supply chain efficiency in western France

 

Strategically positioned along the Atlantic Arc, this Loudéac facility is more than just a warehouse; it serves as a vital regional hub. It currently plays a pivotal role in the supply chain for leading retailers Leroy Merlin and Weldom, efficiently supplying 140 stores across the region and expertly managing extensive online order fulfillment.

 

For businesses seeking to optimize their distribution networks in Western France, this acquisition by WDP demonstrates the availability and high standard of logistics real estate poised to enhance operational reach and efficiency.
