The joint venture between Valor, an urban logistics expert, and QuadReal, a leading real estate investment company, has successfully acquired a 10,000 sqm distribution center located in Wissous, just south of Paris in the Essonne department (91).

 

This strategic acquisition, completed via a sale and leaseback operation, marks a significant expansion of their premium industrial and logistics portfolio in one of Europe’s most vital markets.

 

Strategic location: Wissous – the gateway to Paris logistics

 

The newly acquired logistics hub in Wissous is perfectly positioned to serve the high-demand last-mile delivery market in and around Paris. Boasting exceptional road connectivity, the site is strategically located at the junction of the A6 and A10 motorways, with close proximity to the A86, ensuring seamless access to central Paris and the entire Île-de-France region. This connectivity is crucial for businesses requiring efficient distribution and rapid access to a vast consumer base.

 

Key features of a modern distribution center

 

Spanning 10,000 square meters, this multi-tenant warehouse is designed for optimal operational efficiency. It comprises four distinct cells and features 11 access doors, providing flexibility for various business needs, from warehousing to advanced distribution operations. Part of the facility has already been leased back to the seller, the Legendre group, under a 9-year agreement, highlighting its immediate operational value and demand.

 

Commitment to sustainability: a future-proof investment

 

Valor is committed to implementing an ambitious ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) program for the Wissous site. Planned upgrades include the installation of energy-efficient LED lighting and the implementation of a comprehensive building management system.

 

These initiatives are designed to achieve a "Very Good" BREEAM certification, ensuring the facility meets high environmental standards. For businesses, this translates into a modern, energy-efficient workspace that aligns with corporate sustainability goals and potentially reduces operational costs.

 

Valor and QuadReal: driving urban logistics growth in France

 

This acquisition represents the fourth transaction for the Valor and QuadReal joint venture in the Paris region in 2025 alone, underscoring their aggressive expansion strategy. It follows a recent commitment to develop a new 5,000 sqm logistics project in Aulnay-sous-Bois, north of Paris.

 

Thomas Blangy, Senior Vice President at QuadReal, emphasizes that France has become one of their primary markets, perfectly aligning with their global investment strategy to target high-growth urban logistics centers in key European and UK markets. Their established portfolio of prime industrial and logistics assets positions them as key players for businesses seeking top-tier commercial properties.

 

Explore prime warehouse opportunities in Paris

 

The continuous investment by Valor and QuadReal in strategically located, high-quality, and environmentally conscious logistics centers like the Wissous hub signals a robust and growing market for industrial and warehouse space in the Paris region.

 

For businesses looking to optimize their supply chain, enhance distribution capabilities, and operate from a modern, well-connected facility, these developments offer exceptional opportunities to secure prime locations in one of Europe's most dynamic economic zones.
