CTP has signed a long-term lease with Crisp at CTPark Amsterdam City, a multistorey urban logistics scheme in the Dutch capital.
Crisp has taken a 15-year lease on approximately 13,000 sq m of warehouse space and 3,000 sq m of mezzanine space. The new facility will allow the company to consolidate its logistics operations into a single location and support the further development of its in-house production kitchen.
The move reflects a broader trend in the food retail sector, where logistics, production and quality control functions are increasingly being integrated within advanced last-mile facilities to support growing demand for fresh and ready-to-eat products. Crisp’s decision to locate at CTPark Amsterdam City underlines the role of urban logistics hubs in serving densely populated markets.
CTPark Amsterdam City is certified BREEAM Excellent and operates with a largely self-sufficient energy system supported by solar and wind power, as well as large-scale battery storage. The site also offers infrastructure for emission-free distribution, including extensive electric vehicle charging facilities, alongside road and water connections to Amsterdam’s canal network.
Tom Peeters, CEO of Crisp, said: “This new location supports a future-proof logistics setup. It allows us to scale optimally and prepares us for the further development of our own professional production kitchen, ‘Freshly Prepared by Crisp’, through which we will meet the rapidly growing demand for tasty and healthy ready-to-eat meals. This is a distinctive segment for Crisp, and one that keeps customers coming back.”
Across Europe, more occupiers are consolidating production and distribution networks into fewer, more advanced last-mile hubs in order to improve efficiency and proximity to customers. In the Netherlands, this trend is reinforced by power capacity constraints and grid bottlenecks, making logistics facilities with on-site energy generation increasingly attractive to users seeking operational certainty.
CTPark Amsterdam City is located in the Port of Amsterdam, directly on the North Sea Canal and around three kilometres from the A10 ring road. The scheme offers more than 120,000 sq m of flexible logistics space, including cross-dock access, a private quay for electric inland shipping and infrastructure designed for high-density logistics operations.
In a market such as Amsterdam, where last-mile logistics supply remains limited, multistorey and high-density developments are expected to see continued demand, particularly from fast-growing retailers and logistics operators seeking scalable solutions close to large urban populations.
