Take-up in the Dutch industrial and logistics real estate
market, that is to say buildings with more than 5,000 sq m
of lettable space, slightly went down in 2014. Data which
are carefully kept by INDUSTRIAL real estate partners reveal
that last year 1.18 million sq m were let and sold, almost 8%
down compared to 2013. This drop particularly involved
second-hand industrial buildings; in the new development
category take-up levels were rather steady. But even though
last year’s total take-up levels did go down, the general
mood has been positive nevertheless as the number of lease
and sale transactions remained almost the same compared
to 2013. One significant detail is that in calculating these
levels, companies that meet their own accommodation
requirements – the ‘owner-occupied buildings’ – as well as
companies extending their leases, have not been taken into
consideration.

Even though last year’s market made a positive impression
in general, geographically speaking some unmistakable
differences in market dynamics presented themselves. For
instance, transaction volumes were disappointing in Almere
and also in the region above the North Sea Canal, however
take-up of industrial space in the Amsterdam-Schiphol region
made quite a strong recovery, also following the rental of
several distribution centres. In North Brabant the disposal
of large-scale industrial spaces remains at good levels, yet
take-up of industrial and logistics real estate has dropped
in Limburg.
Take-up of industrial space by type of ownership in sq m
2006
In 2014 the demand for large-scale industrial space was
primary focussed on the logistics real estate market. In
this segment most companies preferred renting rather
than buying their accommodation. Judging by the amount
of transactions finalised, companies were particularly
interested in buildings with between 5,000 and 10,000 sq
m of lettable space and also in larger buildings with more
than 20,000 sq m of space.

The year 2014 was dominated by considerable demand for
logistics real estate. In the so-called open market, the amount
of buildings rented or sold remained the same compared
to last year. Approximately 900,000 sq m in total have
welcomed new users. Many newly constructed distribution
centres were taken up, however existing buildings were also
given serious attention. As in previous years, in 2014 the
amount of transactions realised was highest in the southern
Netherlands as the west and centre of the province of North
Brabant claimed much of this demand.

Even though demand for logistics real estate maintained a
good position last year, the number of distribution centres
available for immediate occupation continued to climb
nevertheless. Rising availability followed almost entirely
due to speculative construction of distribution centres in
places like Venlo, Utrecht and Schiphol. Interestingly, in
addition to the immediately available supply, the number
of plans to build sustainable distribution centres has grown
as well. Even though more newly developed buildings were
available for lease last year, the majority of the spaces on
offer were old and quite often less marketable. In addition
to municipalities with many vacant distribution centres for
rent, vacancy was hardly an issue in places like Bergen op
Zoom, Eindhoven, Moerdijk, Venlo and Waalwijk.

Last year Limburg witnessed a modest decrease in logistics
real estate take-up, however INDUSTRIAL real estate
partners is expecting this region to attract quite a deal of
attention this year, a development that will serve Venlo in
particular. This region is an interesting business location for
international companies who sell their products online and
who want their distribution centres to be in the proximity of
the Cologne Bonn Airport.

Most buyers were American, Russian and Belgian investors.
Investors were not only interested in build-to-suit projects,
they also paid serious attention to buildings that existed
already. The majority of the acquisitions realised last year
involved buildings with relatively substantial investment
volumes. Distribution centres worth less than € 5 million
were hardly disposed of. One of the consequences of
investors’ major demand for logistics real estate was that
the gross initial yield of first-class distribution centres went
down to less than 7 percent in some cases.

2006
Real estate in the Netherlands continued to attract investors
in 2014 as low return on government loans and the large
availability of funds made many investors embrace it. The
logistics real estate market benefited from this development.
Trusting that the available data on acquisitions and
sales are correct, last year there was approximately
€ 835 million invested in distribution centres. As a result,
investment volumes were very close to those of 2007, a
record year in terms of logistics real estate investments. Last
year investors clearly preferred distribution centres in North
Brabant and Limburg, as well as Utrecht and Amsterdam Schiphol.

In 2014 investors also seriously considered light industrial
buildings, as different large-scale complexes exchanged
owners causing the gross initial yield to range from 9% to
13%. Remarkably, most investors who were interested in
this market segment were British.
