August Debouzy advised WDP, a leading European logistics real estate platform listed on Euronext Brussels (BEL20) and Euronext Amsterdam (AEX), on three recent strategic transactions in France that further strengthen its French platform.

The first transaction involved securing an agreement, subject to customary closing conditions, to acquire a 14-hectare site in Le Mesnil-Amelot, immediately adjacent to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. WDP plans to develop a state-of-the-art logistics campus comprising approximately 70,000 sq m.

The second transaction involved the acquisition of a logistics facility in Alzonne, near Toulouse, through a sale-and-leaseback transaction with DHL. The property comprises approximately 23,300 sq m of leasable area, with additional development potential of 8,000 sq m, and is fully leased to DHL under a nine-year triple net lease. Developed as a build-to-suit facility for specialized cold chain logistics operations, the asset has been designed to meet the requirements for BREEAM Excellent and WELL Core Gold certification (office space only), as well as the European Union Taxonomy and CRREM pathways. The warehouse also incorporates advanced sustainability features, including rooftop solar panels, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and a fully electric HVAC system.

The third transaction involved a fully leased logistics asset in Vendargues, near Montpellier, along the A9 corridor connecting France and Spain. The property comprises approximately 27,000 sq m of leasable area and serves as the headquarters and Southern European operational hub of a longstanding WDP client.

August Debouzy advised WDP on all contractual and real estate aspects of these three transactions.

The August Debouzy team was led by Guillaume Aubatier, a partner and head of the Real Estate and Construction practice. The team also included:

- Hélène Billery, partner, on planning and environmental law matters;
- Malvina Dahan, senior associate, on real estate and contractual matters;
- Victoire Le Calvez, associate, on planning and environmental law matters.
