This investment reinforces our commitment to acquiring well-located, high-quality properties in supply-constrained urban and peri-urban areas, which are critical to the evolving needs of last-mile and regional distribution networks.”
Jérôme Fouillé, Managing Director at H.I.G. Realty in Europe, added: “We continue to see strong fundamentals and long-term growth potential in last-mile and regional logistics, particularly in France’s key corridors where supply remains tight.

We remain focused on identifying additional opportunities to grow our presence in these high-barrier markets.”
