Paris, 22nd October 2019 – GLP, a GLP company and leading investor and developer of logistics warehouses and distribution parks, today announces the letting of a 42,500 SQ M warehouse in Saint-Martin-de-Crau, near Marseille.

perspective-St-Martin-CrauThe warehouse, which is currently under development, has been fully leased to a French cooperative society and hypermarket chain nine months prior to its expected completion date of April 2020. This is the first time that GLP has worked with this customer.

This development is one of three logistics assets in Saint-Martin-de-Crau that GLP acquired in September 2018. The other two warehouses comprise 20,000 SQ M of space each and are currently leased to international logistics service provider and port operator Katoen Natie.

The warehouse is located less than one hour from Marseille, France’s third largest logistics hub. It benefits from its positioning between the A54 and A7 motorways offering easy and convenient access to both the city and port areas.

Vincent Gourlin, Development Director, GLP said: “This development illustrates our growth ambitions in France as we progress with our extensive development programme. The building was leased just after construction began and will be occupied by a leading hypermarket chain. This is testament to the current high demand for logistics buildings in France and our customer centric approach to development.”
