DEVELOPMENT OF A BUILD-TO-SUIT PROJECT OF APPROX. 9,000 M² FOR CDS IN VORST (BE)
Aalst, 3rd April 2015 – MONTEA (MONT) has continued the quality growth of its property portfolio with the following transactions:
As part of the redevelopment plan for the site in Vorst, a build-to-suit distribution centre has already been developed for Metro1 . Following on from this, Montea is now developing a sustainable build-to-suit project for CdS, covering a total area of approximately 9,000 m². The new distribution centrum is scheduled to be operational in the first quarter of 2016.

Montea has signed an agreement with CdS for a fixed-term 15-year lease. CdS specialises in the hire of hospitality and catering accessories (www.cdsonline.be). This transaction was brokered by Allten.
Montea is conducting this project at a net initial yield of ±7.3%.
In June 2014, logistics services-provider, Movianto, selected Montea to be its partner for the development and financing of an additional distribution centre in Aalst2 . Since then, the building permit has been issued and Montea has purchased 46,000 m² of land at Industriezone Zuid IV in Erembodegem. Construction work on the project began recently.
