Necron Group strengthens logistics real estate portfolio with second acquisition in Almere
Following the recent purchase of Stichtsekant I, the pan-European real estate investor and developer acquires a distribution center of approximately 35,000 m², leased to Dimensio Groep.
Necron Group has completed the acquisition of Almere Stichtsekant II. The approximately 35,000 m² distribution center is leased to Dimensio Groep, a Dutch full-service supplier of packaging solutions. The transaction follows the recent purchase of Almere Stichtsekant I and the large-scale sale of Ridderkerk III. With these moves, the Swiss, pan-European real estate investor and developer is strengthening its logistics portfolio in the Netherlands and across Europe.
Second acquisition at Stichtsekant
With the purchase of Almere Stichtsekant II, Necron Group is further expanding its presence at the Stichtsekant business park. The distribution center, developed by Aan de Stegge Twello, sits on a site of more than 52,000 m² and comprises approximately 35,000 m² of gross floor area, including warehouse space, office space, and a mezzanine. The building offers parking and holds a BREEAM Very Good certification. Notable additional amenities include a swimming pool, a fitness room, and a dog daycare.
Dimensio Groep supplies a broad range of packaging solutions, including transport and food packaging. Consumers often recognize Dimensio’s products better than the company name. Anyone who has ever bought an apple turnover may well have already held a Dimensio package in their hands.
Investing, developing, and selling
The expansion in Almere follows shortly after the large-scale sale of Ridderkerk III to DOKVAST, a specialized distribution center of 53,425 m² at Dutch Fresh Port, fully leased to Bakker Barendrecht, part of Greenyard.
These recent transactions illustrate the breadth of Necron Group’s real estate activities. In addition to acquiring existing, leased distribution centers, the group invests in developing large-scale logistics real estate and selling completed projects.
Gerard van Liempt, CEO of Necron Group: “The recent transactions in Almere and Ridderkerk show how we put our European real estate strategy into practice,” says Gerard van Liempt, CEO of Necron Group. “We invest selectively in properties with long-term potential, develop new projects, and realize value through successful sales. With the second acquisition at Stichtsekant, we are strengthening our position in Almere and continuing our growth in the Dutch logistics real estate market.”
Parties involved
Necron Group was technically advised on the acquisition by Drees & Sommer. TLF Real Estate acted as commercial advisor on behalf of the seller. Aan de Stegge Twello was responsible for constructing the distribution center. ABN AMRO is involved in the transaction as financier.
