Newport Logistics Fund II completes full investment cycle in Malaga in under two years
Newport Logistics Fund II has completed the sale of Panattoni Park Antequera, a c. 25,000 sqm build-to-suit logistics asset in Malaga, Spain. The asset has been acquired by a private investor.
Fully leased to Leroy Merlin under a long-term agreement, the facility serves as the retailer’s regional distribution centre for southern Spain. The site was acquired in December 2024, with completion and handover following in April 2026.
Daniel Raemy, Chief Executive Officer at Newport, commented:
“This transaction demonstrates the continued demand for high-quality, tailor-made logistics facilities across Europe. The asset was developed as a build-to-suit (BTS) project for Leroy Merlin in Spain, further strengthening Newport’s presence in one of Europe’s key logistics markets and supporting the diversification of our development pipeline across the region.
At Newport, our focus is on creating institutional-grade logistics assets that generate long-term value for our investors. Completing the entire investment cycle – from acquisition and development to disposal – in less than two years reflects both the strength of our platform and the disciplined execution of our investment strategy.”
Panattoni Park Antequera is located within Antequera Business Park (PEAN), one of southern Spain’s leading logistics hubs. It provides direct access to the A-45 motorway and is located 23 km from the Antequera Dry Port, 50 km from Malaga city centre and 55 km from Malaga Airport.
Delivered by Panattoni Iberia, the facility has achieved BREEAM Excellent certification. Its features include electric vehicle charging stations, LED lighting, a 223 kWp photovoltaic installation and Class A-rated office space.
Projects across Newport Logistics Funds I, II and III represent a combined gross development value of approximately €870 million, including investments already realised.
Rosenbauer expands its footprint by over 60% at Newport’s Linz asset
Rosenbauer Group has expanded for the second time at Newport’s Linz asset in Upper Austria, part of Newport Logistics Fund II.
Following the latest lease expansion, Rosenbauer will occupy more than 18,600 sqm. Across both expansions, the company’s footprint at the property has increased by more than 60% from the original 11,560 sqm.
The location serves as a central logistics hub supporting Rosenbauer’s Austrian production network. Operations include production supply, spare-parts distribution and worldwide SKD/CKD dispatch.
The property is DGNB Gold-certified. The additional lease strengthens the asset’s income profile, supports its further stabilisation and demonstrates the occupier’s long-term commitment to the location.
