Swiss Life Asset Managers develops logistics properties and distribution parks in Europe. We work with occupiers, investors, service providers and public-sector stakeholders to create properties that meet defined operational, location and building requirements.
Our platform for high-quality logistics properties
As an investor-developer, we contribute to logistics infrastructure by planning and delivering properties for customers in industry, e-commerce and logistics. Projects are developed in line with agreed specifications, schedules and budgets. Site selection and project planning consider transport connections, local planning requirements and the interests of surrounding communities.
We create added value for:
We develop buildings tailored to occupiers’ operational requirements. Planning considers access, building configuration, technical equipment, energy supply and opportunities to reduce operational energy use and associated greenhouse-gas emissions.
As a reliable and long-term partner of major European construction companies such as the LIST Group, Goldbeck and Köster, together we are able to achieve advantageous economies of scale through the multitude of developments and refurbishments. This ensures reliable construction coverage in the relevant logistics submarkets regardless of geopolitical and economic fluctuations. Thanks to our trust-based partnerships, we offer the highest quality and punctuality in the realisation of our construction projects and the utmost transparency in collaboration.
We work with municipalities throughout planning and development. Projects can create space for employers and local tax revenue while addressing traffic, design, land-use and neighbourhood requirements through the planning process.
Our transaction platform provides access to a European project and investment pipeline. We aim for clear processes, reliable communication and transparent requirements when assessing properties and development opportunities.
Investors benefit from an integrated approach covering development, transactions and asset management. Investment decisions are based on the respective strategy, risk profile and due-diligence findings, including relevant environmental and social criteria.

Real estate with defined environmental and social measures
For new logistics projects, we assess environmental and social impacts from the planning stage. Measures may include energy-efficient building systems, photovoltaic installations, e-charging infrastructure, reduced land sealing, façade or roof greening and facilities for employees and drivers. The applicable measures depend on the site, use, business case and certification requirements.
Locations are evaluated according to transport connections, proximity to users and consumers, planning law and effects on local infrastructure. For selected projects, shorter transport routes can help reduce vehicle kilometres and associated CO2 emissions. The actual effect depends on the occupier’s logistics network and operations.
