GELF closes sale of 19 Logistics properties in France and Germany

“The sale is part of our strategy of selectively rotating assets within the GELF portfolio and recycling the capital to new prime properties from Goodman’s active development pipeline, as well as to selected market acquisitions,” said Emmanuel Van der Stichele, GELF Fund Manager. “With €2.2 billion of high quality assets under management in key logistics locations throughout Continental Europe, GELF is a leading European logistics real estate fund. The sale as well as the reinvestment of the proceeds will enable the fund to further strengthen an already qualitative portfolio.”
