A modern logistics property with rental space of around 16 400 square metres is to be built on a site in the municipality of Oosterhout, northwest of the city of Tilburg in the southwest of the Netherlands. The project builds on Swiss Life Asset Managers’ pan - European “Roots” logistics pipeline to now include the Dutch market.
Swiss Life Asset Managers has exclusively acquired a brownfield plot of land ready for construction in Oosterhout, Gooikensdam 10, in the province of Noord-Brabant. On the site, which measures around 23 000 square metres, the investor‐developer is planning the “Tilburg I” project – a state-of-the-art logistics property of around 16 400 square metres. The project is scheduled to start in 2026.
“Tilburg I” marks the first project development in the Dutch market for the pan-European “Roots” logistics pipeline. This marks a significant milestone for the continental European expansion strategy in the logistics segment of Swiss Life Asset Managers, one of Europe’s leading institutional real estate investors.
“The Netherlands is one of the most dynamic logistics markets in Europe, supported by the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp and a dense network of rail, road and waterways,” explains Ingo Steves, Managing Partner Logistics at Swiss Life Asset Managers. “With ‘Tilburg I’, we are expanding our presence along the
most significant Dutch logistics corridor and strengthening the sustainable international expansion of our ‘ Roots’ pipeline,” Steves continues.
Oosterhout is located northwest of the city of Tilburg in the logistics corridor of the province of Noord- Brabant, directly connected to the A58 and A59
motorways as well as the A16 towards Rotterdam/Antwerp. The ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp are less than an hour from Oosterhout. The Oosterhout Container Terminal (OCT), a major inland port on the Tilburg-Moerdijk- Rotterdam route, is also in the immediate vicinity.
“With state -of-the-art infrastructure, flexible use options and excellent transport connections, 'Tilburg I’ will offer our clients a state-of-the-art logistics property
in a strategic location for the Dutch and European logistics market,” says Michael Ebe rle, project manager at Swiss Life Asset Managers.
The logistics property will have a total rental area of around 16 400 square metres with the possibility to divide them into two building units. It will also be possible to rent the entire site to a single user instead of multiple tenants. The rental space is divided into around 14 000 square metres of storage space, 600 square metres of office and social areas and 1800 square metres of mezzanine space.
There are plans to install heat pumps as well as the possibility for a rooftop photovoltaic system to generate renewable energy. Overall, the aim is to achieve a BREEAM certification of “ Excellent” for the property.
