Its roof will be used to develop a photovoltaic power plant generating an annual production of approximately 9,000 MWh, equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 4,500 people.

“We are very pleased with this transaction, which is in line with our strategy of investing in the logistics segment, considering its strong fundamentals. In the context of growing scarcity of supply, especially for large platforms, this site will offer users a next-generation, quickly available hub, easily connected to Paris in 2.5 hours, Lyon in 3 hours and 90% of France in 6 hours.

The central location, the proximity of the Bourges employment area and the superior technical and environmental specifications of GreenBerry make this platform a valuable site for future users”, says Nicolas Lutgé, Commercial Real Estate Director of TwentyTwo Real Estate.
