Montea

Montea acquires the Luithagen complex through a contribution in kind, marking its first investment in the Port of Antwerp 🚢 🏗️ 🌍 A well-known industrial complex comprising 11 units, the Luithagen site is strategically located at the A12/E19/Noorderlaan interchange to the north of the city. Over the years, the site has been leased to companies supporting the port with services such as spare parts, maintenance, cleaning, and courier services. The acquisition includes over 20,000 m² of warehouse and office space on a 42,000 m² plot and is backed by a new 30-year concession agreement with the Port of Antwerp-Bruges.   Montea is acquiring the site with a view to undertaking an ambitious long-term refurbishment project that will place sustainability front and center. ♻️ The units, which in the meantime will have been in use for 40 years, will be gradually upgraded in line with Montea's guiding principles for new investments. Planned upgrades include replacing joinery and façades, adding extra insulation, carrying out roof improvements, as well as installing solar panels, heat pumps, and charging points. Montea will therefore ensure that the buildings not only meet current standards, but also contribute to a more sustainable future. 🔋   “With this investment, Montea takes its first step into the Port of Antwerp, a critical transport and distribution hub, and an economic powerhouse in Belgium. The Luithagen site has consistently demonstrated its value thanks to its strategic location and flexible warehouse structure. Our planned building upgrades will ensure the long-term success of the site,” said Xavier Van Reeth, Montea's Country Director for Belgium.   Swipe for all the details ➡️   #Montea #Luithagen #Antwerp #Investment #PortOfAntwerp #PortOfAntwerpBruges Bridgegap - a real estate collective, Mertens Vastgoed nv
