Pictet and Stoneweg add new logistics asset to Dutch Axis platform

Axis, the last-mile logistics platform established by Pictet Alternative Advisors and Stoneweg, has acquired a new, high-quality logistics facility at Engelandlaan 3, Maastricht Airport.

Engelandlaan 3, Maastricht Airport

Completed in May 2026 by Merle Vastgoed and Willems Bouwbedrijf/Coumans Installaties, this state-of-the-art scheme offers approximately 10,250 m2 of flexible leasable space across four units, each with dedicated office areas, loading docks, and EV charging. The building includes a 12-meter clear height and a 50 kN/m2 floor load capacity.

It meets stringent energy efficiency standards, achieving an EPC A+++++ rating and featuring solar PV panels, a heat pump, and high-efficiency lighting, with BREEAM "Very Good" certification expected.

Strategically located in Aviation Valley, adjacent to Maastricht Airport and the A2 highway, the asset benefits from excellent connectivity. The high demand for these smaller, premium units is evident from over 50% pre-leasing and significant interest for the remaining space. This established institutional-grade location is home to major tenants like DHL, Jumbo, DSV, and MLS.

Simon Geldmann, head of Germany & Benelux – Direct Real Estate at Pictet Alternative Advisors, commented: “We are very pleased with this new high-quality addition to the portfolio, which now comprises nine buildings totalling approximately 70,000 m2 across key logistics hotspots in the Netherlands. The pre-let at this property demonstrates the robust demand for high-quality, smaller-scale units in the logistics sector, underpinning our strategy of focusing on this market segment.”

Thomas Kal, transaction manager at Stoneweg, added: “The competition for high-quality, small-box logistics is high, especially on premium locations. This asset embodies the current strategy of Axis and ticks all boxes when it comes to quality, flexibility and sustainability. We are looking forward to welcoming our new tenants in this excellent building.”

Merle Vastgoed was advised by JLL and Pierik Legal, while Pictet and Stoneweg were advised by Dentons and RYSE.
