EQT Real Estate Value-Add Logistics
The EQT Real Estate Value-Add Logistics Funds seek to invest in big box, mid box and last mile logistics properties in major consumption and distribution hubs. The funds seek to create value through (i) acquiring underperforming, under-leased and vacant assets at discounted prices; (ii) pursuing short-term leased assets that generate immediate cashflow; and (iii) developing modern, high-quality logistics assets. Through focusing on single-asset acquisitions and targeting smaller equity ticket sizes, a less competitive segment of the market, the funds seek to benefit from attractive entry pricing. EQT Real Estate currently manages Value-Add Logistics vehicles in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
EQT Real Estate Core-Plus Logistics
The EQT Real Estate Core-Plus Logistics Funds seek to invest in big box, mid box and last mile logistics properties in major consumption and distribution hubs. The funds focus on long-leased, high quality, income-producing logistics assets with a value creation angle during the hold period. Typically, the funds may seek to add value through the ability to regear rents during the hold period, or via accretive sustainability investments. Similar to the value-add logistics funds, the strategy focuses on single-asset acquisitions and smaller equity ticket sizes to capitalize on attractive entry pricing due to market inefficiencies. The Core-Plus strategy also benefits from EQT Real Estate’s in-house operator platform. EQT Real Estate currently manages Core-Plus Logistics vehicles in the U.S. and Europe.
