Sale of Schiphol Logistics Park plots underway

The sale of 24 hectares of plots on the eastern side of Schiphol Logistics Park has started. Offering a prime location for leading large-scale logistics companies, the business park is strategically located at less than five minutes from the airport apron.

Both the aboveground and underground infrastructures have been completed, and initial talks have already been held with interested parties. ‘The air cargo industry has gotten over its dip and is posting 20 percent growth. You can tell that there is demand’, says Bert Hilhorst, who together with Jan Krijnen (Schiphol Real Estate (SRE)) directs the management of the business park. Schiphol Area Development Company (SADC) is responsible for project management and for marketing & sales.

Good accessibility
Schiphol Logistics Park is located east of the A4 motorway near the Hoofddorp exit and is connected to Schiphol-Centre and Schiphol-Southeast. There is already good access to the Schiphol Logistics Park via the existing N201 secondary road. This access will be further improved by the diversion of this secondary road in 2014 (to be renamed the N201+), and by the widening of improved slip roads onto and off the A4 motorway. This location will also be accessible via a HOV/BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) link.

Schiphol Logistics Park is part of the all-embracing concept that is Amsterdam Connecting Trade (ACT). ACT is an innovative and sustainable logistics hub, where current activities include the development of an efficient, multimodal transport system. An important part of this system is the Seamless Logistics Link (OLV), comprising a cargo lane reserved for trucks that guarantees a seamless transport link between Schiphol Logistics Park and the airport apron on into the future.

Specially designed for leading logistics companies
Located in close proximity to the airport apron, Schiphol Logistics Park has been developed to accommodate high-quality, large-scale logistics facilities and services with operations oriented towards the airport. Specifically, this means integrators, forwarders and carriers active in such international sectors as aerospace, perishables (fresh produce such as flowers and vegetables), fashion and high-tech. With operations that include collecting, packaging and assembling, Schiphol Logistics Park provides these companies with the space they need, thereby serving both them and the aviation sector.

Park management guarantees quality
The management of Schiphol Logistics Park monitors the quality and standard of onsite facilities. Jan Krijnen (SRE) explains, ‘This ensures that Schiphol Logistics Park – and the new buildings to be built – maintain their value. Luckily, the companies that want to build or locate here set great store by this too. Plus, it ensures a pleasant working environment’. The basic package of services provided to companies at Schiphol Logistics Park includes collective security, transport management, and maintenance of the public areas, with the option for individual businesses to contract additional services.
