Europa Capital has completed the acquisition of a 32,000 sq m warehouse facility with 150,000 sq m of adjacent development land in Prague, Czech Republic.
The property, which is located in the prime logistics location of Rudna on the D5 corridor to the West of Prague, is a 32,000 sq m warehouse facility, with ambient, chilled and frozen space, constructed in 1997. Shortly after acquisition, Europa will commence a comprehensive refurbishment of the existing premises in order to provide a first class, modern warehouse facility which will then be marketed for lease. There is potential for an additional 55,000 sq m of new warehouse space (the majority of which already benefits from planning) on the development land.
The Charnwood Company, with whom Europa has concluded other successful investments in this sector in the Czech Republic, will assist with the delivery of the refurbishment, leasing and further planning permits.
James Farmer, Senior Associate at Europa Capital, commented: “The European logistics sector is attractive to us and this represents an interesting opportunity for Europa to acquire a substantial warehouse property with development land in a prime distribution location. We are acquiring at a significant discount to replacement cost and this investment offers an attractive blend of immediate value add potential and some longer term angles”.
