Logistics centre Tunnelweg

Sustainable logistics development

With this proposition, you invest in the realisation of a new sustainable logistics centre in Kerkrade, located at Tunnelweg 98 - 100. The intended term of this proposition is 18 months, with a fixed interest rate of 8.25% per year. As an investor, you will receive a second right of mortgage as security. The loan-to-value of the total financing is up to 75.4%.

Currently, the project is in the preparatory phase of construction, with ground and foundation work due to start in February 2025. At the same time, preparations have already been made at the plant for the steel structure to be assembled subsequently. The logistics hall is expected to be delivered at the beginning of the first quarter of 2026.

The loan is provided to the project owner for the realisation of the logistics hall. The promoter has previously demonstrated its ability to develop and complete successful logistics projects, such as the sale of the similar project on Mercuriusstraat in Kerkrade in November 2024, which fully repaid Crowdrealestate's investors.

The key features of the proposition are as follows:

- Initial requirement of €3,000,000;
- Intended maturity of 18 months;
- Fixed interest rate of 8.25% per annum;
- Second right of mortgage;

- Existing business location in Dentgenbach business park;
- Modern logistics centre of 19,679 m²;
- BREEAM Excellent certification and energy label A+++;
- Licence irrevocably granted;
- No nitrogen problems - construction can continue without any obstacles;

- Experienced developer with proven track record;
- Interest payment per month;

Projected return

The chart below shows the cumulative yield over the term at the fixed interest rate of 8.25% per annum. In the example below, with a deposit of €5,000 and total interest paid throughout the 18-month term, an amount of €618.75 is paid. The first interest is paid in the next month after the proposition closes, after which the fixed interest is paid monthly in arrears. Repayment of the principal will be made through sale of the project.

During the closed pre-registration period, the minimum deposit is €100,000. Based on the fixed interest rate of 8.25% per annum and a term of 18 months, this results in a total interest payment of € 12,375.

Funding structure

This proposition will finance the construction works of the logistics centre. The initial amount required is €3,000,000, with a threshold amount of €1,000,000 and a target amount of €5,000,000. A maximum of €5,000,000 will be financed through this proposition. The additional €7,000,000 will be funded through other investors, bringing the total funding to €12,000,000. For the full amount of €12,000,000, a second right of mortgage will be established on the logistics centre.

A Dutch investment company has previously provided, for the purpose of purchasing the land and development costs, a loan of €10,000,000, for which a first right of mortgage has been established. Interest on this loan is payable upon repayment. The mutual stipulations between the first mortgage holder and the second mortgage holder are detailed in a tripartite agreement.

The total construction costs (including purchase of the land) of the logistics centre amount to €25,350,000. The market value after realisation was appraised in December 2024 at € 29,175,000, resulting in a loan-to-value of 75.4%, based on the maximum financing amount of € 12,000,000.

To further strengthen the position of investors, additional collateral has been agreed:

Second pledge of (future) rental income from the logistics centre;
Pledge of 100% of the shares in the object company;
Joint and several liability of sole shareholder object company;
Pledge of the interest and construction deposit;
Irrevocable cancellation power of attorney from the first mortgage holder, which allows the first right of mortgage to be redeemed at any time.

Investors Crowdrealestate €5,000,000 Second mortgage right
Other investors €7,000,000 Secondmortgage right
Surplus value (based on market value after realisation) €7,175,000

Project description

The logistics centre of approximately 19,679 m² is being developed at Dentgenbach business park in Kerkrade, near the same developer's previously successful project. The property combines high-quality building specifications with sustainable features such as BREEAM Excellent certification and energy label A+++, meeting the strictest sustainability standards. Its strategic location and already adequate electricity connection provide security and operational efficiency for future users.

The logistics centre will be designed with a clear height of 12.20 metres, 18 loading docks and floors with a load-bearing capacity of 50 kN/m². This makes it suitable for a variety of logistics activities and meets the requirements of modern users. The office space and other facilities are practical and efficiently designed to support optimum use of the building.

The site has an adequate electricity connection, preventing delays due to grid congestion. This provides security of energy supply and contributes to the reliability of the project. Moreover, the centre does not suffer from nitrogen issues, allowing construction to be completed unhindered and delivery to be within the planned timeframe.

The building will be built with BREEAM Excellent certification and energy label A+++, underlining its focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. This results in lower operating costs, reduced environmental impact and increased attractiveness for both users and institutional investors.

Market description

The logistics centre is located at Dentgenbach business park in Kerkrade, a strategic location in South Limburg with direct access to the Belgian and German markets. Thanks to its proximity to major motorways such as the A76 and N300, logistics hubs such as Düsseldorf, Brussels and Antwerp are easily and quickly accessible. In recent years, the South Limburg region has proven itself as a core logistics region within Europe. The combination of a central location, good infrastructure and access to multimodal transport options, such as rail and inland ports, makes the region attractive for logistics companies with international operations.

The limited availability of modern, sustainable logistics buildings in the region ensures that new developments such as this project fit well with market demand. The redevelopment of existing sites, such as Dentgenbach business park, is in line with national policy frameworks to optimise space use and add economic value. The project stands out for its focus on energy efficiency and sustainability, which is confirmed by the BREEAM Excellent certification and energy label A+++. This makes it attractive to large logistics users who increasingly value sustainable premises and lower operating costs.

End user

For the logistics centre, advanced talks are underway with a renowned international party in the logistics sector to enter into a long-term lease. This potential tenant is among the larger logistics service providers worldwide and is active in various sectors, including pharmaceutical distribution and supply chain solutions.

The party's specific requirements, such as modern loading and unloading facilities, an efficient layout and energy efficiency, have been fully integrated into the building's design. In addition, the project offers additional opportunities, such as the rental of the roof for solar panels and the presence of a transmission mast on the site. These elements not only provide additional income, but also reinforce the sustainable and future-oriented character of the logistics centre.

The lease agreement is expected to be signed early next year. The involvement of a party of this stature provides stability in the income stream and enhances the value and marketability of the centre, further underlining its competitive position within the logistics real estate market.
