At the Vestby Logistics Park, south of Oslo, NREP Logicenters has now signed a lease agreement with Vinhuset, which is owned by NorgesGruppen. The object of the lease is the 17,800 m² logistics facility Stormåsan 42.
Vinhuset expects to take up residence in September 2023.

It has been announced that Logicenters has signed a lease agreement with Vinhuset Vestby Logistics Park in the Oslo region. The long-term lease agreement is for 17,800 m² in one of Logicenters’ newly developed properties in Vestby, Stormåsan 42. Vinhuset will lease the entire property, totalling 17,800 m². The plot as a whole measures 27,000 m².

Since 2018, NREP Logicenters has developed a total of 135,000 m² of BTA logistics buildings in Vestby, spread across sites measuring 260,000 m².

NREP Logicenters has leased out all its property in Vestby and is now on the lookout for new development opportunities in the region.The lease was signed just before the end of the year, but for the sake of employees and customers has not been made public until now. The property will be very well adapted to Vinhuset’s operations and equipped for future growth. The building will have a clear environmental profile, certified BREEAM Very Good. Solar cells will be installed on the roof and there will be a charging station for electric trucks and cars.

“We would like to thank NREP Logicenters for ensuring that everything ran smoothly up to the signing of the lease and we look forward to moving into an efficient new, modern building adapted to the future and our needs at the end of the summer. It was important to us to find a building with an excellent environmental profile with solar cells on the roof and the opportunity to charge electric trucks. The choice of Vestby as our location was a natural one as several of our partners are located in the area,” says Stig W Jørgensen, CEO at Vinhuset.

“NREP Logicenters is happy to be adding Vinhuset to our portfolio! Vinhuset and NorgesGruppen are companies with very similar values to NREP when it comes to sustainability. It was our ambition to achieve BREEAM Excellent, but that was not possible since there has been cultivated land on the site in the past. We are committed to connecting with solid growth companies and it is our strategy to be a growth partner for our tenants,” says Ruben Krantz Kringstad, Commercial Manager with responsibility for leasing and commissioning of new builds at NREP Logicenters.

Vestby Logistics Park is strategically located alongside the E6 motorway en route to Oslo. The area also has excellent transport links thanks to its proximity to the ports in Moss and Göteborg.

Logicenters to install solar cells across 800,000 m2

February 10, 2023 7:35 am Comments Off

Logicenters is continuing to concentrate on a sustainable future. To lead the move towards a carbon-neutral sector, the company has decided to more than double its ownership of solar cell installations in the coming years.

With a sustainability goal to be completely carbon neutral by 2028, Logicenters has decided to pioneer the use of renewable energy at its facilities.
The decision has been made to cover roofs with solar panels on all new builds and to install them on existing roofs where possible.

In total, Logicenters aims to install around 800,000 m2 of solar cells over the next three years. This area is equivalent to a total of 133 football pitches. In total, this investment would generate potential annual production of 85,000 MWh, sufficient household electricity for more than the whole of Östersund (24,290 households).

“The logistics property sector has the necessary conditions and therefore a responsibility to take a leading role in the expansion of solar energy on our large roof areas. We are also building for tomorrow, when solar power will be used to charge the electric distribution vehicles of the future. It is here that we at Logicenters feel we can make a big difference,” says Jon Malmsten, solar energy expert at Logicenters.

Over the last year, this ambitious solar cell strategy has already seen construction of the largest roof-mounted solar plant in the Nordic region, covering 80,000 m2. The plant was built for Dagab in Bålsta and is set to become operational in March.

“For me, it goes without saying that we should continue our commitment to solar energy for a carbon-neutral tomorrow. The property sector continues to account for 40% of global emissions and there is an urgent need to find better ways both to develop and to operate properties. Everyone must assume responsibility and it is our ambition to be at the forefront of the Nordic market,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO of Logicenters.
