CBRE IM, through one of its funds, has purchased AMS CityDocks, a modern last-mile logistics centre in a prime location on the western side of Amsterdam.

This facility, completed in September 2025 by Proptimize and Built to Build Real Estate, consists of two buildings totaling around 38,000 m2. One of the buildings, 13,280 m2, is already leased to Medux, a prominent Dutch healthcare company.
AMS CityDocks boasts excellent connectivity to the A5 and A9 motorways, allowing it to serve 2.3 million people within a 30-minute drive. It also has a strong electrical infrastructure, capable of providing up to 9MW of power.
The property is entirely electric and is projected to receive a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification due to its sustainable features, such as EV charging stations and rooftop solar panels. Additionally, a new public park is being developed adjacent to the facility.
Antonio Simontalero, portfolio manager at CBRE IM, said: “As a best-in-class distribution centre designed to meet occupiers’ needs both now and in the future, AMS CityDocks fits seamlessly within our strategy to invest in high-quality logistics assets in key European cities. Providing a rare combination of quality, location, and future readiness, this asset aligns perfectly with our return and sustainability requirements.”
Krijn Taconis, head of Transactions for the Netherlands at CBRE IM, added: “With land and energy capacity for logistics schemes in Amsterdam in short supply but demand continuing to rise, we have strong conviction in this sector. This was a rare opportunity to acquire a core, high-quality last-mile logistics development in one of the Netherlands’ most sought-after hubs.”
During the transaction, Dentons provided legal counsel to CBRE IM, while CBRE offered commercial and technical assistance. JLL advised the seller on commercial matters, and Taylor Wessing handled their legal representation.
