“Tilburg’s excellent multimodal accessibility makes it attractive for customers looking for strategically-located modern distribution space,” said Anton van Vlerken, AMB's general manager for the Benelux. “We are pleased to accommodate this valued global customer, who also leases space in our portfolio in Singapore and Mexico.”

Located close to one of the Netherlands’ primary south/north transportation corridors (A2), Tilburg serves as a logistics hub for both the Dutch and European markets by providing direct access to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, the German Rhine- Ruhr area to the east, and Belgium to the south. Additionally, the logistics facility can be accessed by rail and barge, with direct connection by inland waterway to the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest seaport. 3Stone Real Estate represented AMB in this transaction.
