has added a fully-let 60,750sqm urban logistics facility in Denmark to its core European fund’s portfolio.

The Hines European Core Fund (HECF) has paid an undisclosed sum to buy Ventrupparken 3-5 in Greve from a company managed by the Nordic Investment Bank Pareto Securities.

This acquisition marks HECF’s seventh logistics purchase.

James Robson, a senior managing director in the Nordics at Hines, said: â€œWe are very pleased with the acquisition of Ventrupparken 3-5. It’s rare to find a logistics asset and site of this scale in such a central location.

“The planned Fehmarn Belt Tunnel will provide even greater connectivity to the rest of Europe and will strengthen Copenhagen’s position as the preeminent logistics hub in the Nordics.�

Simone Pozzato, managing director and deputy HECF fund manager at Hines, said: “We continue to broaden our exposure to the urban logistics and industrial sector, and this is a key asset for our fund’s logistics aggregation strategy.

Ventrupparken 3-5 is situated in a prime urban location with strong market fundamentals and has a major tenant in place on a long lease which marries with our strategy of targeting supply-constrained locations, in major European cities, with attractive long-term growth prospects.�
