The SEGRO European Logistics Partnership (SELP) was created in October 2013 as a 50:50 joint venture between SEGRO and Public Sector Pension Investment Board, the Canadian pension fund. At its inception, the portfolio injected by SEGRO comprised approximately €1 billion of grade A standing logistics investments and development land. The objective of the venture was to create a leading Continental European logistics platform, initially focused on six geographies, namely France, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium and Netherlands.
Since then, SELP has also invested in big box warehouses in Italy and Spain and a combination of acquisitions, development and capital value growth means that, at 31 December 2022, the portfolio was valued at €6.8 billion and generated €313 million of annualised headline rent across 5.6 million square metres of lettable area.
