GLP announced that it has acquired a 46,000 sq m Grade A logistics asset located in Arese, close to the city of Milan.
The asset is part of the Lainate Business Park, an institutional complex developed between 1990 and 2010 as a total redevelopment of the former industrial headquarters of Italian luxury car manufacturer Alfa Romeo. According to GLP, the area around the city of Milan is considered one of the most attractive locations for logistics in Italy and has a vacancy rate of less than 2%.
The property is divided into two units – modern and flexible. Both units are already leased to two companies: Fiege Logistics Italia, an international third-party logistics provider, and Movimoda, an Italian company specialized in logistics services for the fashion industry.
GLP was supported in this acquisition by Colliers, acting as commercial advisor, Gattai, as legal and tax advisor, Arcadis as technical advisor, Ramboll as Environmental advisor and Howden as insurance broker. Adigrat Srl acted as commercial advisor and broker of the seller.
Roberto Piterà, Country Director of GLP Italy, commented: “We are proud to announce this off-market acquisition. Arese is one of the best locations within the Milan inner market, which is the most consolidated logistics market in Italy, and this acquisition further expands our presence in the area. The site is ideally situated for the future development of last mile / urban logistics, given its location and excellent connections to the city. We are delighted to add another high-quality logistics location to our portfolio and to welcome new top-tier companies to our customer base”.
