Connecting a Growing Food Logistics Operator with a Strategic Greater Brussels Location

Deal Overview

Knight Frank Belgium's Industrial & Logistics team has advised logistics operator Ivemar on the subletting of approximately 5,000 sq m of warehouse space and 443 sq m of offices at Jozef Huysmanslaan 53 in Beersel.

The space has been taken by Foodpickers, a fast growing Belgian food logistics operator, specialised in the import and distribution of organic, natural and health food products for mass retail and specialty stores in Belgium and Luxembourg. The subleased warehouse is part of a logistics facility owned by Prologis. Located in the Greater Brussels region, on the border of the Brussels-Capital Region, the property combines immediate access to one of Belgium's largest consumer markets with excellent regional and national connectivity.

The transaction highlights continued demand for well-located logistics space capable of supporting time-sensitive distribution activities.

Location and Occupier Fit Remain Key

While occupiers today benefit from a broader range of options across parts of the logistics market, demand continues to concentrate on assets that offer genuine operational advantages.

For Foodpickers, proximity to Brussels was a key requirement. Located on the the Brussels-Capital Region border, the Beersel site provides direct access to a dense consumer base while offering the connectivity and operational flexibility needed to support continued growth.

Delivering a Successful Outcome for All Parties

Acting on behalf of Ivemar, Knight Frank Belgium advised throughout the subletting process, identifying Foodpickers as a strong fit for the available space and helping both parties reach mutually beneficial terms.

The letting to Foodpickers marks Knight Frank Belgium's second food-logistics deal of the year, highlighting continued ability to source occupiers active in this segment.

Supporting Growth and Occupancy

For Foodpickers, the transaction secures additional logistics capacity in a strategic location that supports its growth ambitions and operational requirements.

For Ivemar, the subletting provides an effective solution for surplus space while ensuring occupation by a credible and growing logistics operator.
