CMS partner Arnout Scholten and Reinoud Plantenga, managing director Warburg-HIH Invest Real Estate Benelux, discuss the European logistics market and how it is likely to progress in 2021 given increased demand from investors and occupiers, decreasing supply of space and sites and the resultant yield compression and rising rents.
They discuss the particular circumstances in the Netherlands especially as it relates to retail’s transition to online.
Competition for land in the Netherlands is getting much tougher with residential vying with logistics for some of the same sites and Arnout and Reinoud look at whether the Netherlands or wider European logistics markets can expect a Brexit bonus as UK companies encounter more customs regulations.
