In today’s published research report 'Spotlight Logistics: The quest for the next logistics hotspots', international real estate advisor Savills identifies the most promising locations for logistics occupiers who want to look beyond the current prime logistics hotspots, as a result of the scarcity of product in the logistics real estate market.
Next logistics hotspots.
We expect that logistics occupiers will increasingly look beyond the current prime logistics hotspots in the years to come, not only driven by the increasing pressure on the occupier market in the main hotspots, but also from domestic growth of e-commerce and the increasing demand for same day delivery

National distribution
For national distribution, the analysis, in the first place and unsurprisingly, confirms the already popular suburban areas between Rotterdam and The Hague. Other, less obvious but also interesting regions identified in the analysis are the Lelystad area, the areas surrounding Nijmegen such as Overbetuwe, and the region of Zaanstad and Purmerend.
We see that investors are following the occupier market, and are increasingly stepping out of their comfort zone to invest in these ‘new’ logistics hotspots, even in speculative developments.

Randstad distribution
For urban infill locations and so called Agglo-logistics servicing mainly the Randstad area, the most promising locations include hotspots such as Bleiswijk, Zuidplas, Waddinxveen and Berkel en Rodenrijs.
