Edmond de Rothschild Real Estate Investment Management (REIM) is further expanding its European logistics and light-industrial strategy with additional equity commitments in Q3 2025 with an immediate deployment in two strategic transactions in France. These acquisitions reflect the platform’s continued commitment to high-quality, well-located assets that offer both stability and growth potential. Edmond de Rothschild is pursuing further acquisitions in the Benelux and Germany too.

The first transaction concerns a 14,900 sqm light-industrial facility in Valence (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), situated on a 24,000 sqm freehold site. Originally built in the early 1980s and comprehensively refurbished in 2023, the property is fully leased to a specialist electromechanical equipment manufacturer with a firm lease term of 12 years.

The second transaction concerns a modern, multi-let light-industrial asset in Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, Greater Paris. Constructed in 2017, the facility spans over 5,600 sqm of lettable space on a 10,000 sqm freehold site and is currently leased to six tenants with a diversified covenant profile.

These acquisitions are fully aligned with Edmond de Rothschild REIM’s strategy of investing in resilient, high-quality logistics and light-industrial assets across Europe.

In addition to its investment activity, the Fund recently received its latest Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) score, achieving 91 out of 100 points — up from 87 the previous year — and improving its rating to prestigious 5-star. This performance has propelled the Fund to 3rd place in the Industrial / Europe category, a significant leap from its 11th position last year. The result underscores the team’s ongoing dedication to enhancing the Fund’s sustainability credentials.

Theo Soeters, Head of Fund Management at Edmond de Rothschild REIM, commented: “These two acquisitions reflect our continued confidence in the French industrial and logistics market and our commitment to building a resilient, high-performing portfolio. With one asset offering long-term stability and the other providing diversification and growth potential, they complement our broader European strategy. At the same time, our improved GRESB score highlights the team’s dedication to sustainability and responsible investment. Together, these milestones demonstrate our focus on delivering lasting value for our investors.”
