's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, 23 September 2021 - VGP, a pan-European provider of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial real estate, announces the expansion of the leased area for its client AG Logistics Services at VGP Park Nijmegen, part of Park 15 in Oosterhout, Gelderland. AG Logistics Services will rent an additional 13,000 m2 of warehouse space, adjacent to the 42,000 m2 already leased. Last Friday, the delivery of this first 42,000 m2 warehouse took place.
On Friday 17 September VGP handed over the keys of the new sustainable logistics distribution centre with a surface area of 42,000 m2 to AG Logistics Services. Due to the strong growth of the company they will now also rent the adjacent 13,000 m2 of the park under construction. This expansion will be completed in early 2022 and will bring the total area of AG Logistics Services at VGP Park Nijmegen to 55,000 m2.
For AG Logistics Services, VGP Park Nijmegen is the fourth location of this logistics company in the Nijmegen-Arnhem region - also known as Logistics Valley. "We are a fast-growing, no-nonsense family business that provides warehousing, storage and logistical handling for a broad customer segment. From food to healthcare, from SME to multinational. To manage our growth and that of our customers, we needed extra space. Initially we considered building our own premises, as we did earlier this year in Ede (28,000 m2). The pleasant contact with VGP and what they have to offer is a perfect match for us. The location is great and we do not have to invest in the construction ourselves. Moreover, the mutual cooperation on the site appeals to us because we all rent from the same party. We are a very flexible company and believe in the power of now. Don't wait, but take action now. Doing things while thinking. From a respectful attitude and with the customer in mind. That's what we're going to do here on Park 15," says Arie Thomassen, founder of AG Logistics Services.
Geerd van Helden, Commercial Director VGP Benelux, says: "We are delighted with the confidence AG Logistics Services has placed in our company. VGP offers sustainable logistics halls at a top location which will further support the growing business activities of AG Logistics Services. The close collaboration, right from the start of the construction phase, has enabled us to build a hall that is truly 'tailor-made' to meet their specific needs."
With this expansion, the first part of the second phase of the park - with a lettable area of 73,500 m2 - has been fully pre-let. In June 2021 VGP announced that bicycle retailer Mantel would move into the new distribution centre with a leasable area of 18,500 m2.
In the meantime, the groundwork for the second part of phase 2 was also started, consisting of over 60,000 m2 of rentable area, available in the first quarter of 2022. Negotiations with potential tenants are currently ongoing.
