AXA Investment Managers - Real Assets ("AXA IM - Real Assets") announces the acquisition of a prime logistics development site in Evin Malmaison, in the Nord Pas de Calais region in France, which has the potential for up to 77,500 sqm of Grade A logistics space in a single XXL building. The site has been purchased on behalf of the Logistics Development Club¹ and will be developed by Baytree Logistics Properties. 
 
Located in France’s third largest logistics market² , the 208,000 sqm site benefits from excellent transport infrastructure and a good supply of local labour. The site is less than five minutes’ drive from the A1/A21 junction, which links directly to Lille, 30 km to the north and Paris, 200k km to the south. The port of Calais is accessible in just over an hour.
