The European light industrial strategy
In June 2019, IPF pursued a venture into the European light industrial real estate market through the acquisition of a 25% interest in a portfolio of light industrial and last mile delivery properties, alongside funds managed by Ares Management Corporation. The platform is also managed by UREP, providing synergies with the management of the logistics strategy and coverage in the regional markets within which the Fund operates.
The portfolio of light industrial assets is valued at €128.5m and covers the core markets of Germany, Netherlands and France, with a portfolio comprising 25 assets housing 71 tenants over 160,000 sq m. The portfolio currently generates annual contractual rental in the order of €9.6m.
