Clarion Partners Europe (“Clarion Europe”), the real estate investment fund manager specialising in logistics and industrial assets, has agreed to forward fund a Grade-A warehouse in Boisseaux, south of Paris, for €46.6 million. The vendor Quartus Logistique will also act as development manager.
Since the start of 2018, Clarion Europe has invested over €430 million in the French logistics market, acquiring a mix of standing assets and developments and reflecting its conviction in a market experiencing one of Europe’s fastest growing rates of e-commerce penetration.
Clarion Europe will fund the development of an institutional quality, 74,245 sqm logistics warehouse divisible for up to four units and suitable for a range of potential tenants. Construction is due to commence this month and is expected to complete in Q4 2020. The property will include 5 tonne floor loading, clear heights of 10.7m and will target a BREEAM Very Good certification. A pre-let has been agreed for 42% of the floor space (31,000 sqm) with the largest subsidiary of the Euronext-listed Safran SA, a global aerospace and defence company with a market cap of EUR45 billion (as of 4 February 2021).
Boisseaux is strategically located 47km north of Orléans and 81km south of Paris, at the intersection of the Logistics Dorsale and the Atlantic Corridor. The development benefits from its proximity to the Boisseaux train station and adjacency to the N20 national road, which connects to Paris in 70 minutes, the Orly Airport in 50 minutes and the A10, a key national arterial route, in 20 minutes.
