Warehouses De Pauw Add-on Acquisition in France
WDP acquires 6 cross-dock warehouses of 43k sqm GLA on 182k sqm of land for EUR 50m. This investment lifts the French exposure to around 4.5% of the total portfolio. Developments in France are a slow process. We expected 35k sqm in acquisitions over 2H24. This deal fits nicely in their expansion strategy in FR and GE. The deal is expected to be immediately earnings enhancing. WDP is selectively putting cash to work. Acquisitions do not generate development gains, but WDP expects to realise reversionary rent gains as leases expire (WALT 11 years). Also the additional land could be developed over time. France is stuck in political uncertainty about the future direction after the election deadlock. That typically favours the incumbent logistic players. WDP will expand selectively to build scale in FR.Warehouses De Pauw and its subsidiaries are engaged in investment in the Belgian semi-industrial property market.
