In December 2013, Montea concluded a partnership agreement with MG Real Estate (De Paepe Group) for the development of the sustainable logistics facility "MG Park De Hulst" in Willebroek. With this project, the partners announced their fourth joint development project.
The build-to-suit development comprises ca. 48,000 m² of land on which a logistics complex will be erected for an American multinational active in the delivery of spare parts. The building comprises 27,100 m² of storage space, 800 m² of office space and a mezzanine of ca 1,100 m². It can moreover be expanded by 6,800 m² in a second phase. The building will be operational in the first quarter of 2016. Montea will acquire this facility upon completion.
The parties have concluded a long-term agreement for a fixed period of 10 years.
Ignace De Paepe, MG Real Estate: "With this fourth development project in less than 3 years, De Hulst proves its unique location as a multi-modal logistics hub between the E19 and the A12."
