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.
Artur Mokrzycki joins Newport by Panattoni as Head of Investor Relations
Artur Mokrzycki strengthens Newport by Panattoni as newly appointed Head of Investor Relations.
Formerly Panattoni’s Head of Capital Markets Europe, Artur will be responsible for further developing relationships with Newport’s investors and supporting its future growth. He will also join Newport’s Investment Committee, where his vast experience and strategic perspective will be a valuable addition.
Artur joined Panattoni in 2011 and has played a significant role in the growth of our business over the past 15 years. During this time, he has made major contributions to strengthening our capital markets platform, building trusted investor relationships, and supporting the expansion of Panattoni across Europe. Prior to joining Panattoni, Artur’s experience includes over 10 years as a real estate fund manager for AEW Europe.
A lease expansion within Newport Logistics Fund II
At Panattoni Park Silesia, one of the existing occupiers has expanded its leased area by 2,700 sqm. Following the extension, it will occupy more than 7,500 sqm in total. The tenant is a global logistics operator specialising in contract logistics as well as sea and air freight.
This is another signal supporting the asset’s potential. The growth of existing occupiers is often the clearest proof that the location and project specification meet real operational needs. Other occupiers at Panattoni Park Silesia include Raben and Intermarché.
Poland remains one of Europe’s key industrial and logistics markets. It is the 5th largest market in Europe by total warehouse stock and continues to rank among the top markets for leasing demand. Upper Silesia is also among Poland’s leading regional hubs, ranking second nationally by stock and third for leasing demand in 2025.
Panattoni Park Silesia benefits from strong connectivity to the A4 motorway, supporting distribution across Poland and Central Europe. A further advantage is proximity to Euroterminal Sławków, which has unique significance at EU level thanks to its connection to the Broad Gauge Metallurgy Line (LHS). This infrastructure plays an important role for Europe–Asia freight corridors, including rail services being developed on these routes. In addition, the planned terminal expansion in 2026–2028 strengthens the region’s long-term role in European supply chains.
Panattoni Park Silesia is being delivered on a revitalised post-industrial brownfield site, combining new logistics functions with high environmental standards. The entire complex has achieved BREEAM Excellent, and the roofs of both buildings have been prepared for photovoltaic installations.
This is an example of an asset that combines location quality, leasing potential and long-term value.
€15m bank financing for Panattoni Park Antwerp II (Sas van Gent 2)
Newport by Panattoni has secured €15 million of bank financing from BGO Europe Bank for Panattoni Park Antwerp II (Sas van Gent 2), a new-build logistics and industrial development in the Netherlands.
The project is located within the North Sea Port area, close to the Belgian border, offering access to both the North Sea and the Ghent–Terneuzen Canal. The location combines port-linked infrastructure with strong hinterland connectivity. The development also includes the option to create a private quay along the canal, strengthening multimodal distribution and supporting port-oriented supply chains.
Panattoni Park Antwerp II (Sas van Gent 2) is a brownfield redevelopment within a port-industrial zone, with a planned 22,000 sqm GFA. The building is targeting BREEAM-NL Excellent and will be fully electric and gas-free. Rooftop photovoltaics will be installed with an expansion option. The grid connection includes 1.5 MW of contracted capacity, with export-to-grid secured.
The scheme is designed to suit both logistics and manufacturing users, with higher power availability supporting scale-up requirements and a broader range of occupier profiles.
This financing milestone confirms the project’s bankability and supports delivery in a core, infrastructure-backed logistics market where power availability is increasingly shaping occupier decisions.
The asset is held within Newport Logistics Fund II, which is fully raised. The fund’s portfolio provides diversification across the UK, the Netherlands, France, Austria, Poland and Spain.
Newport by Panattoni secures €6m bank financing for logistics property near Mainz
Newport by Panattoni has secured €6m of bank financing from M.M.Warburg & Co for a logistics property in Erbes-Büdesheim, near Mainz, in Germany’s Rhine-Main logistics corridor.
Located in the Frankfurt am Main region with immediate access to the A63 and A61, the asset sits in one of Germany’s key logistics markets, benefiting from proximity to major freight corridors, Frankfurt Airport, and multimodal routes via the Rhine and inland river ports.
The project comprises approximately 9,400 sqm of logistics space on a 20,200 sqm site and is suited to light industrial, e-commerce, and pharmaceutical occupiers. It targets DGNB Gold and will include photovoltaics (approx. 0.9 MWp), heat pumps, smart metering, and rainwater reuse systems.
This is one of four projects secured within Newport Fund III to date. The financing milestone supports progress towards delivery, with completion expected in Q2 2026.
Fundraising remains open until August 2026, and Newport continues expanding Fund III’s pipeline with new opportunities.
France added to Newport Logistics Fund III portfolio
We’ve secured an 11.6-hectare site in France, near Paris, for a 37,000 sqm logistics development: Panattoni Park Paris West.
Panattoni Park Paris West is being delivered through Newport Logistics Fund III. With four projects already invested and underway across the UK and Germany, the addition of France further diversifies the portfolio.
This French project targets BREEAM Excellent, with rooftop photovoltaic panels across the entire roof and heat pump-based heating systems for the warehouse units. The platform is designed to accommodate one or several occupiers, particularly for high value-added operations in sectors such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The location also offers potential for multimodal solutions, given its proximity to the Seine.
Construction starts in February 2026. Delivery in Q1 2027.
Fundraising for Newport Fund III will remain open until August 2026.
