Newport Logistics Fund launches third pan-European logistics fund, Targeting €300 Million

Newport Logistics Fund has announced the launch of its third pan-European logistics fund, aiming to raise €300 million to develop 10-12 modern logistics facilities across Europe. This follows the successful fundraising and investments of its first two funds, which collectively secured projects valued at €300 million in gross asset value (GAV).

Newport Logistics Fund I S.C.A. SICAV-RAIF, launched in 2022, raised funds within 10 months, enabling investments in state-of-the-art logistics facilities in London, Amsterdam, and Lodz, valued at €100 million GAV. Building on that success, Newport Logistics Fund II S.C.A. SICAV-RAIF was introduced in March 2023 and has since raised €200 million, which has been allocated to projects in Austria, the Netherlands, France, Poland, and Germany.

Newport Logistics Fund, established in 2022 and part of the Panattoni Group, focuses on financing the full investment cycle for logistics warehouses in key European locations. The fund’s success is attributed to its strategy of geographic diversification and collaboration with Panattoni, a leading warehouse developer, providing investors with access to logistics projects across Europe. The funds have attracted a wide range of investors, including high-net-worth individuals and family businesses from the EU, Switzerland, the UK, the US, and the Middle East.

Szymon Ostrowski, Managing Director of the fund, noted, “Investors have appreciated the strategic diversification of assets in key logistics locations and the ability to deliver above-average returns, even in challenging economic conditions.”

Following the positive reception of Funds I and II, Newport Logistics Fund III S.C.A SICAV-RAIF aims to expand the fund’s portfolio further, with secured projects already underway north of London in the UK and a build-to-suit (BTS) facility in Malaga, Spain. Additional investments across the European Union are currently being evaluated.

All Newport Logistics Fund projects adhere to strict sustainability standards and are BREEAM certified, aligning with ESG objectives under Article 8 of the EU SFDR. “We aim to achieve a 15% annual return for our investors while also delivering environmentally responsible projects that meet the needs of both tenants and warehouse owners,” said Ostrowski.

With the launch of Fund III, Newport Logistics Fund continues to strengthen its position as a key player in Europe’s rapidly growing logistics sector, developing sustainable and high-quality facilities in strategic locations across the continent.
