Belgian logistics provider Intervest plans to enter Germany!

In the world of logistics, a lot is happening at the moment. The Belgian investor Intervest has big plans: The company already wants an impressive logistics portfolio in Belgium worth around 300 Millions of euros. This acquisition comprises five logistics objects that together take an area of around 250,000 square meters. Interestingly, you are in a strategic logistics corridor between the motorways E313 and E42, which runs through Belgium, France and Germany.

The transaction business was completed within three months and takes place in cooperation with well -known partners. The seller, Weerts Logistics Parks from Liège, is supported by international advisors such as CBRE, SAVILLS and LOYENS & LOEFF. Intervest, on the other hand, received support from Stibbe, Deloitte, CBRE Technical and SM & c. The plan is to become active in Germany this year. Talks with potential partners are already underway, and the new country head for Germany will be presented in the coming weeks.

strategic expansion with great goals

Expansion to Germany is not just a simple market entry. Intervest thus pursues a comprehensive strategy for increasing the earnings potential and the portfolio value. According to the latest market research, logistics remains one of the most sought -after asset classes in the real estate sector. The transaction volume for logistics properties in 2024 was around 7.5 billion euros, and the forecasts for 2025 are stable.

For investors, the importance of so-called "Core" and "Core Plus" objects is becoming increasingly clear, whereby international investors pay particular attention to objects that offer attractive returns and modern equipment. Another point that is not to be neglected: ESG criteria and high-quality building equipment are becoming increasingly important and are crucial for tenant loyalty.

market developments and trends

Rents in the top 8 regions of Germany could increase by up to 3.5 percent by the end of 2025, which shows that the logistics sector remains on course. In Munich in particular, however, the offer is fitting behind the demand considerably, while in the greater Berlin area the area of land decreases somewhat. Frankfurt/Rhein/Main was able to shine in 2024 with a sales turnover of 490,000 square meters, which underlines the attractiveness of this region.

With a view to the future, it is clear that Intervest starts all levers in order to gain a foothold in the dynamic German logistics landscape. The coming months will show how quickly and efficiently the company can implement its plans. After all, there is not only an economic opportunity, but also an opportunity to make an important contribution to the further development of Germany - there is something!
