  3. New build and build-to-suit

Built to your requirements.

When existing stock does not fit, the building is built new. As a lease with a developer and investor, or as your own investment. We support both routes, from land search to contract.

Build-to-Suit

Build-to-suit pays off when requirements are very specific, large areas are needed or suitable stock is missing in the target region. The building is designed to your specification: height, floor, doors, fire protection, energy, offices and outdoor areas.

Land is the bottleneck. Through our contacts with municipalities, economic development agencies, owners and a development partner we secure options that are not on the market.

Two routes to your own building

01

Lease solution

A developer designs and builds to your requirements, an investor holds the property. You lease long-term and tie up no capital in the building.

  • No capital tied up in the building
  • Design to your specification
  • Long-term lease
  • Standards secure re-lettability
02

Own investment

You become the owner. We find land and partners for design and construction, support permits and contracts and connect you with lenders.

  • Full control of building and site
  • Value growth stays with the company
  • Later sale and leaseback option
  • Capital requirement and developer risk

Frequently asked questions

How long does a build-to-suit take?
From securing land to handover usually one to three years, depending on planning law and size. With a suitable zoning plan in place it is considerably faster.
From what size is a new build worthwhile?
There is no fixed threshold. What matters is specialisation, term and whether existing stock in the region meets your requirements.
What lease terms do investors require?
Generally long terms for tailored buildings. The higher the specialisation, the longer the commitment required.
Can I switch from ownership to leasing later?
Yes, through a sale and leaseback. It releases capital without giving up the site.

No suitable stock? Then we build.
