Valor invests €25m in South Paris urban logistics hub

European logistics company Valor is investing €25 mln to buy a 20,000 m2 plot in Morangis, South Paris, with plans to transform it into a modern urban logistics centre.

Morangis, South Paris - Valor

The site, purchased directly from a leading tool and outdoor company, will feature a 10,500 m2 logistics facility. This will include a 9,000 m2 building that can be split into three sections, plus a separate 1,500 m2 unit. Construction is set to begin in May 2026 and finish by mid-2027, with CEMR handling the build.

The new facility will meet high environmental and operational standards, aiming for BREEAM “Excellent” and BiodiverCity “Performant” certifications. It will include 12% office space, 8-metre high ceilings, a 35-metre deep yard, and solar panels on the roof.

Morangis is an ideal location for last-mile logistics, being close to Orly Airport and only 15 kilometres south of Paris. The area currently lacks modern, eco-friendly logistics facilities needed by retail and distribution businesses.

Valor is actively growing its development projects in France. In March, they acquired another large plot in South Paris for a 40,000 m2 urban distribution park, with construction starting in early 2027. Their developments in Aulnay-Sous-Bois (5,000 m2) and Mitry-Mory (12,000 m2) are on track for completion in May 2026 and are already drawing tenant interest. Additionally, Valor began renovating and expanding a 10,000 m2 last-mile cross-dock in Fleury-Mérogis, expected to be ready in early 2027.

Jonathan Muller, VP Developments at Valor Real Estate Partners, commented: “Securing prime, off-market opportunities in land-constrained urban submarkets is central to our strategy. Morangis is a highly attractive location benefiting from the structural growth of the Orly corridor, where the lack of modern stock creates a compelling opportunity to deliver best-in-class, sustainable logistics space. More broadly, we remain highly confident in our ability to identify and execute developments in supply-constrained locations, where occupier demand continues to exceed availability. The area is dominated by outdated, second-hand stock, positioning our development to meet the growing demand for high-quality, modern and sustainable logistics facilities.”

In addition to its projects in France, Valor is also developing properties in other key markets, including a 25,000 m2 site in Berlin and a 10,000 m2 site in Enfield, near London. 

Valor was advised by Simmons & Simmons, Oudot, LA4P/CEMR, and Cushman & Wakefield as the broker.
