Ares Management Corporation has finalized the purchase of a logistics portfolio comprising five warehouse centers with a total area of approximately 284 thousand sqm.
The properties are located in key logistics locations in:
- Warsaw,
- Poznań,
- Szczecin,
- Ruda Śląska.
Two facilities are located in Warsaw, which further emphasizes the importance of the capital market for national logistics.
Portfolio leased at 94 percent
The acquired logistics centers are currently 94 percent leased, which ensures a stable level of income. The tenants include:
- e-commerce companies,
- 3PL logistics operators,
- trading enterprises,
- manufacturing companies.
The facilities were built in 2017–2018 and are located along key transport routes, including:
- A1 and A2 motorways,
- S8, S5, and S11 expressways.
Ares develops the Marq logistics platform
The management of the acquired portfolio will be carried out by the Marq platform developed by Ares Management Corporation.
As emphasized by the fund's representatives, logistics remains one of the most promising segments of the commercial real estate market, and Poland has been at the center of investors' interest for years.
Polish logistics continues to attract investors
The transaction fits into the continuing trend of high interest in the warehouse sector in Poland. Despite the volatile economic environment:
- logistics remains one of the most resilient market segments,
- investors are still looking for stable assets with long-term tenants,
- the importance of locations along main transport corridors is growing,
- a high level of commercialization remains a key asset of warehouse investments.
The Polish warehouse market continues to benefit from, among others:
- the development of e-commerce,
- nearshoring,
- the growing importance of Poland in European supply chains,
- the expansion of road and logistics infrastructure.
