Newport completes fully leased BTS distribution asset for Hebe in Upper Silesia
Newport has completed a nearly 34,000 sqm build-to-suit distribution facility for Hebe in Upper Silesia, held within Newport Logistics Fund II. Fully leased and designed to a BREEAM Excellent target, the asset combines long-term income visibility with strong logistics fundamentals in one of Poland’s most established industrial markets.
The completed facility is fully occupied by Hebe, a well-recognised health and beauty retailer owned by Jerónimo Martins. Its income profile is supported by the tenant’s initial 10-year lease commitment and full occupation of the building.
The asset has been designed to support efficient day-to-day operations while lowering resource use. Sustainability features include energy- and water-saving solutions, leak detection systems, energy-efficient lighting, EV charging stations and roofs reinforced for future photovoltaic installation. The building is targeting BREEAM Excellent certification.
Location is another key strength. Positioned in Upper Silesia, one of Poland’s most established logistics markets, the facility benefits from direct access to the S1 and A4 corridors. The region offers strong infrastructure, labour availability and relevance for both domestic and international supply chains.
For Newport, the project reflects the type of logistics asset it seeks across European markets: fully let, operationally relevant and aligned with institutional investment criteria. Held within Newport Logistics Fund II, the facility strengthens the fund’s portfolio of modern logistics properties in strategic locations.
Panattoni Park Antwerp II under construction on former glass factory site
Panattoni Park Antwerp II (Sas van Gent 2), part of Newport Logistics Fund II, is currently under construction on a remediated brownfield site within the North Sea Port area.
The site was previously home to Sas van Gent’s glass factory, founded in 1899 as the first mirror-glass factory in the Netherlands. For decades, it was one of the defining industrial employers in the Kanaalzone. Following the factory’s closure in 2014, the site became a brownfield now being brought back into productive use.
For Newport, this project reflects the type of asset we seek in European logistics real estate: strong location fundamentals, infrastructure relevance and specifications aligned with modern occupier requirements.
Located on the Dutch-Belgian border, close to Antwerp, the asset benefits from strong regional connectivity within one of Europe’s key port-industrial clusters. The location also offers the option to realise a private quay, adding to its multimodal credentials.
Panattoni Park Antwerp II will deliver approximately 22,000 sqm with a 1.5 MW power connection. It is being developed to a BREEAM-NL Excellent target, will be gas-free and can be fully equipped with solar panels. Planned completion is scheduled for Q1 2027.
As part of Newport Logistics Fund II, the project strengthens a portfolio of around well-located logistics assets in key European markets.
