In a highly sought after market, this was rare opportunity to invest in one of Europe's most resilient sectors alongside a leading operator with an established best-in-class portfolio. The industrial sector continues to outperform other asset classes in terms of rent collection, rental growth, vacancy rates and tenant retention.

One of the founders of PROUDREED, the largest private developer-operator in France, advised by Savills, has entered into a joint venture agreement with leading global private markets firm Partners Group.
The set up, development and long term management of the project will be handled by comapnies within M Core. At the same time, M Core will continue investing and developing its own operations with an objective of organic growth between £150m to £300m a year.
"We are delighted to have raised £500m with Partners Group and look forward to implementing our strategy together."
"The group continues to expand the size and quality of our pan European management platform, increasing profitability and improving the real estate across all sectors." - Sebastian Macdonald-Hall, Chairman and Co Founder of Sheet Anchor, part of LCP
The portfolio will be seeded by three standing stock assets and a pipeline of development sites in major urban conurbations, including Paris, Bordeaux, and Nice.
"We have chosen this historic partnership with Partners Group to accelerate the deployment of new business parks under our "Veellage" brand. For us, the long-term objective is clear: to consolidate our model, standardize the quality of our offer, and to launch new services." - Christophe Le Corre, President of PROUDREED
