This morning the Board of Directors of the Zaragoza Logistics Platform (Plaza), chaired by the Councillor of Economy, Industry and Employment, Marta Gastón, approved the sale of two plots of land jointly covering 100,000 square metres located in the railway area, with intermediation by the consultancy firm CB Richard Ellis, and the option to buy a further 98,000 square metres located in front of the first site. The company’s intention, which is involved in real estate leasing, is to start building a logistics warehouse. The purchase option on the sites (ALIF 2. 2 and ALIF 2. 3) also entails the possibility of building to the maximum height permitted in Plaza, i.e. 16 metres. The dimension of the transaction is comparable to the one which Plaza signed with Decathlon in 2010 91,000 square metres), the group BSH (124, 000) square metres in 2009) and in 2003 with the Inditex Group (200, 000 square metres). The last sale transaction signed by the public company was the one that took place in November with TXT (15, 000 square metres). Nevertheless, the managers of Plaza believe that this last transaction, and its dimensions, will help boost the Platform due to the foreseeable carry-over effect. Moreover, it accounts for almost complete occupation of the railway area, which permits the arrival of inbound containers from Spanish ports, similar to other areas of Plaza, with subsequent distribution of goods from Zaragoza to Bilbao, Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona, and hinterlands. The buyer will be working on the area currently occupied by the BSH, Pikolin and JCV Shipping & Solutions groups.
