DFI and Argo Real Estate launch Intown Logistics platform

Deutsche Finance International (DFI), a London-based pan-European private equity real estate manager, and Argo Real Estate have rebranded and relaunched their UK logistics platform.

Park Royal, London

Intown Logistics manages approximately 92,903 m2 of modern urban logistics properties across 11 sites in London, the southeast of England, and Manchester (Trafford Park). The tenant roster includes major international companies like Amazon and Royal Mail.
Since 2023, Intown Logistics has undertaken significant ESG investment programs to boost energy efficiency, resulting in 25% of the portfolio now holding an EPC A rating. The ambitious goal is to increase this to over 50% by the end of 2025. Additionally, the platform has successfully signed 20 new leases, driving average rents up by about 60%, and currently maintains full occupancy across its portfolio.
Symon H. Godl, CIO of the Deutsche Finance Group, said: "With Intown Logistics, Deutsche Finance International is pursuing a value-add strategy in a dynamic market environment. The goal is to generate attractive long-term returns for investors through sustainable investments in existing properties."
