The company Logic Spain KCRE, a joint venture created by Brunswick Invest (the main investment arm of Brunswick Real Estate), the international real estate group Grosvenor, and the Spanish investment company Kefren Capital, has completed the acquisition of a logistic platform located in La Bisbal de Penedés (Tarragona).

The platform was constructed in 2005 on a plot of land measuring 25,000 m2. The total constructed surface area is 15,252 m2, including almost 500 m2 of office space and it is leased to Applus Idiada, a subsidiary of the Applus group and market leader in the design, engineering, testing and provision of homologation services for the automobile industry.

The logistics platform is located 5 minutes from the intersection of the AP-2 (Madrid-Barcelona) and AP-7 (Mediterranean Corridor) motorways and is 40 minutes from the port of Barcelona and 20 minutes from the port of Tarragona. The industrial estate where the warehouse is located has direct access to the Applus Idiada test circuit, where the company carries out its vehicle trials and tests.

Logic Spain KCRE is led by the real estate asset manager Kefren Capital Real Estate (KCRE) and has been advised by Bufete Buigas on the legal-side and by Mace regarding technical matters. The operation has been financed by Kutxabank.

JLL advised the vendor during the process.

The logistics platform in La Bisbal represents Logic Spain KCRE’s second investment. The entity plans to invest more than €100 million in logistics assets in the Spanish market. Kefren Capital Real Estate will take responsibility for managing the assets in order to generate value using its extensive experience in the sector.
