The logistics real estate operator Logicenters is expanding its presence in Finland by acquiring a brownfield site of 58 000 m2 in Hervanta, close to Tampere. It is now clear that the old property will be demolished, and in its place Logicenters will build a vacant sustainable warehouse with the possibility for several tenants to rent at the same time.

“This will be Logicenters first bigger brownfield-project in the Nordics. As the availability of greenfield sites in good logistics locations becomes increasingly limited, even in the Nordic region, I am convinced that we will make more acquisitions like this in the metropolitan areas in the future”, says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO at Logicenters.

The facility in Hervanta will be located close to E12 and E63 with direct connection to Northern Finland. From the warehouse in Kytömaankatu to the city center of Tampere takes only 17 minutes by car.

“We are excited about the development of the new property in Hervanta. This strategic acquisition is significant to serve the southern logistics hub of Finland and demonstrates our dedication to offer top-class logistics solutions”, says Jarkko Äikää, Commerical Director at Logicenters in Finland.

The new property of 29 000 m2 is developed in line with Logicenters sustainable profile and will have solar panels on the roof as well as geothermal heat. The ambition is to acquire the environmental certification BREEAM excellent.
