All of the sites are in Barcelona and Madrid and are able to support approximately 240,000 sq m of modern, sustainable warehouse space, developable over the next five years, which will allow SEGRO, through SELP, to continue to build scale and increase its presence in Spain.

The remaining sites are in Madrid including in Paracuellos, strategically located next to Madrid Barajas Airport and two further sites bordering the M45 orbital road in San Fernando de Henares and Villaverde.
Marco Simonetti, Southern Europe Business Unit Director for SEGRO, said:
“This acquisition will significantly expand our footprint in Spain, an exciting market where we are growing our portfolio of high quality, well located assets to meet the increasing demand for prime, sustainable warehousing. It will complement our existing portfolio in Barcelona and Madrid, helping to establish us as a leader in modern warehousing and industrial property in these important logistics markets.”
