Logistics

TA Europe has an extensive track record in the logistics and light industrial property sector. We have provided TDDs for single logistics centres or pan-European portfolios and made sure that our clients could maximise the value from each deal. Our services include finding workable solutions for managing exceptional risks and potential ‘deal breaker’ issues by controlling the major risks or establishing smart capex plans,  developed to ensure cover for potential higher liabilities and repair issues in the future. 

We find from our experience that common technical risks in logistic property transactions are:

  • Lack of fire protection or relevant statutory compliance
  • End of life cycle and poor water tightness of large roof areas
  • Lack of flexibility in terms of alternative usage (such as multi-tenant)
  • Floor cracking and structural damage from traffic impact
  • Extensive wear and tear in older logistic and warehouse properties

TA Europe has provided TDDs of logistics centres in 10 European countries, with specialist teams comprising senior property professionals with international logistics sector experience, as well as local experts, to deliver tailor-made solutions every time.

Our project and cost management team has been involved in new build and expansions of logistic center properties. Very often we are asked to support our clients in helping to remove the maintenance backlog of recently purchased buildings, support in managing the repair and refurbishment works, as well as other improvements or even conversions. With the help of cost benchmarks, we are able to set up a business plan for the project, which helps to generate more income and higher value of the logistic center properties.

TA Europe also understands the operational aspects of logistics centres and implements the improvement of the asset performance and life cycle costs into the respective cost plans. We support owners at getting poorly performing logistics centres back on track through reducing operational costs and optimising the life cycle of the elements and installations.
