BELVEDERE CAPITAL AND ARTHUR LOYD ASSET MANAGEMENT JOIN FORCES TO CREATE ALPHA LOGISTICS REAL ESTATE, A UNIQUE PURE PLAYER IN LOGISTICS

Belvedere Capital, an Investment and Asset Manager in commercial and residential real estate, founded in 2018, and Arthur Loyd, a leading independent advisory and brokerage firm in the French logistics sector, join forces to create Alpha Logistics Real Estate, an independent Investment and Asset Management company exclusively dedicated to the logistics sector in France. A pure-player in the market, Alpha Logistics Real Estate, operates in the whole supply chain and covers all risk segments (core, core+, value-add, opportunistic). The company offers to its clients an independent, unique, and thorough expertise, and targets 500,000 sqm of assets under management in 2024.

WHEN TWO SPECIALISTS IN LOGISTICS MEET…

On one side: Arthur Loyd Asset Management, an Asset Manager dedicated to logistics properties, provides best-in-class services to institutional and private investors and benefits from the support of the 75 local agencies of the Arthur Loyd network.

On the other side: Belvedere Capital, an Investment and Asset Management company launched in 2018 by Bruno Cohen and Silvio Estienne, whose track record in logistics investments is widely recognized.

The two structures have decided to join forces and create Alpha Logistics Real Estate, an independent real estate investment management firm based in Paris and exclusively dedicated to the logistics sector in France. Already composed of 6 experts combining 140 years of experience, the Alpha Logistics Real Estate team is led by a three Managing Partners: the two Founding Partners of Belvedere Capital, Bruno Cohen and Silvio Estienne, and Jean-Bruno Bes de Berc, the Managing Partner of Arthur Loyd Asset Management.

A 360° VISION, A ONE-STOP-SHOP

A pure-player in the asset class, Alpha Logistics Real Estate, through its 360° vision, operates in the whole supply chain, from XXL warehouses to urban logistics, as a « one-stop-shop ». This new player is active in all risk segments (from core to opportunistic). Its detailed knowledge of the local markets, its customized Research services, and its performing approach for the benefit of investors of all sizes, national of foreign, - willing to enter a fast-growing market or to consolidate their existing portfolios -, make it a unique platform.

Alpha Logistics Real Estate relies on the passionate commitment of its management, and also on a culture of independence, and on the business ethics deeply rooted in its DNA by the two founding companies, Arthur Loyd Asset Management and Belvedere Capital. This is why the new company has deliberately made the choice to work in a truly open architecture with its suppliers and business partners solely with the view to forming the best team for each project.  Alpha Logistics Real Estate’s only objective is indeed to provide its clients with the best investment solutions. It targets to reach 500,000 sqm of assets under management in 2024.

EXPERTS SERVING ALPHA LOGISTICS REAL ESTATE

Bruno COHEN, Co-founder of BELVEDERE CAPITAL:

« We have noticed that there was no pure player in logistics real estate in France, operating in all segments, and in the whole value creation chain for third party investors, from acquisition through asset management, to disposition. Our clients, particularly those non-domestic, have expressed their willingness to rely on a single partner of that nature in the French market where they plan to invest significantly, the market becoming more and more regulated and competitive. The competences, track-record, unique positioning, and quality of the Arthur Loyd Asset Management team, which we have known for a long time, have rapidly convinced us that they were the perfectly complementary partner for Belvedere Capital to create this new expert and dedicated offer to the logistics market».

Jean Bruno BES DE BERC, Managing Director of ARTHUR LOYD ASSET MANAGEMENT :

« We are very pleased with the creation of Alpha Logistics Real Estate, an expert platform of logistics services, with a 360° vision, that our clients will benefit from. By joining forces with Belvedere Capital, we have known very well and for a long time the commitment and professionalism of their team, numerous synergies will arise, such as the pooling of our portfolios of client investors and its expansion to new, non-domestic entrants looking for one-stop-shop local partners they can rely on for the execution of their development strategy into France. »
