(PRESS RELEASE) AMSTERDAM, 8-Sep-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Logicor, a leading owner and operator of European modern logistics and distribution properties, today announces the results for the half year ending 30 June 2023.

Commenting on the results, Michael Slattery, LOGICOR Chief Executive, said:

“During the first half of 2023, through responsibly delivering on our strategy of active asset management and continuing to grow our presence in key markets, we have achieved an excellent set of operating results.”

“Market fundamentals remain strong with low levels of vacancy supporting continued rental growth. In addition, elevated levels of inflation across Europe have supported like-for-like rental income growth with the majority of our leases linked to inflation-indexation.”

“We have increased the pace of development and acquisition of well-located land and standing assets in key European sub-markets, enabling us to develop modern, sustainable logistics real estate that supports our customers’ growth and increases our market presence. Alongside this, we continued with our selective disposal programme to reshape our portfolio and deploy capital into our development pipeline.”

“We have made great progress in delivering our Acting Responsibly strategy and, as we move into the second half of the year, we will focus on implementing our pan-European solar plan as part of our decarbonisation strategy that will contribute to reducing our carbon footprint by 2030.”

“As we look ahead, we remain focused on developing a modern, well-located network of sustainable logistics real estate that supports our customers’ growth, brings positive impact to the communities in which we operate and continues to deliver strong financial performance.”
