Nippon Express Nederland BV, W. P. Carey Inc. and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have entered into a contract for the development of the largest distribution centre ever in Rotterdam. After expanding the current warehouse by some 32,600 square metres, Nippon Express\u2019s facility at Maasvlakte will be the first logistics centre in the port of Rotterdam with a floor area over 100,000 square metres.<\/p>\n

Nippon Express Nederland has been active in the port of Rotterdam as a logistics service provider since the late 1970s. In early 2015, the company signed the lease for a 70,000-m\u00b2 XXL warehouse at Maasvlakte, owned by logistics real estate investor W. P. Carey.<\/p>\n
The planned expansion concerns 31,487 square metres of new warehouse space and 1,130 square metres of office space. This brings the distribution centre at a total floor area of 103,951 square metres \u2013 making it the largest warehouse in Rotterdam as well as one of the largest in the Netherlands overall.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted that W. P. Carey and Nippon Express Nederland have once again decided to invest in their Rotterdam facilities,\u201d says Danny Levenswaard, the Port of Rotterdam Authority\u2019s Distribution & Warehousing Manager. \u201cIt attests to Maasvlakte\u2019s strong position as a logistics hub.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the past few months, there has been a strong interest in logistics real estate in the port of Rotterdam. In fact, earlier this year this led the Port Authority to decide to develop another\u00a0100 ha<\/a>\u00a0of land at Maasvlakte 2 into a new distribution park. This new estate, dubbed \u2018Distripark Maasvlakte West<\/a>\u2019, is the only greenfield site in Rotterdam\u2019s port area left available at this point in time.<\/p>\n
