Corbas, Lyon

Past performance is not a guide to future returns. An illustrative example. The presented asset is closed to new investors.

Overview

A brownfield speculative development, the previous building was demolished and replaced by a newly built, modern cross-docking facility delivering last mile logistics to city centre Lyon. The business plan included successfully pre-leasing the building during construction to the French Post Office all while benefitting from a strong leasing market and consistent rental growth.

Background

  • The opportunity was sourced off-market via a developer with whom we entertain a long-term relationship.
  • The property is located in the closest logistics market to the city of Lyon, which is primarily used for last mile delivery.
  • Leasing led to the signature of a 9.5 years closed lease with the French Post Office (La Poste) within only 2 months following the beginning of construction.
  • As La Poste had been identified early in the design process, we were able to tailor the project to their operation while maintaining a flexible cross-docking layout.
  • Works were delivered in July 2021 following a 14-month construction period.
