–          The main operations of the year were: the leasing of a 32,000 sq m logistics warehouse in Valls Logistics Park to a company in the logistics sector; two operations of 25,000 sq m leased to MICHELIN and BAXIROCA in Subirats and La Pobla de Claramunt respectively; the leasing of 20,000 sq m to PEGUFORM in Castellbisbaland the leasing of 15,000 sq m and 10,000 sq m of warehouses in La Bisbal del Penedès. Most of these operations have been made thanks to the services provided by the real estate advisers Estrada & Partners, a company specialised in logistics real estate who, during 2012, advised ten operations in the logistics sector in Catalonia, comprising a total of 120,000 sq m of logistics warehouses.

“In 2012, despite the existing widespread crisis, the logistics real estate market has experienced a positive trend considering that the contracting in Catalonia has reached 370,000 sq m, of which 45% (170,000 sq m) are net contracting. At the same time, it is gratifying to us to report the 32% of the contracted surface (120,000 sq m) belongs to operations advised by Estrada & Partners, among which we highlight 32,000 sq m leased to Alindocks,  25,000 sq m leased to Michelin, 15,000 sq m leased to Idiada and 10,000 sq m leased to DHL. To conclude, I’ll mention that most of the large surface operations were performed in the second and, specially, in the third ring, area in which the vacancy rate has decreased significantly. Hopefully, this trend of improvement will remain during 2013, the stock of available warehouses will keep reducing and, therefore, the values will begin to recover”, says Victor Estrada, Estrada & Partners Manager.
