Heylen Warehouses starts phase 3 of construction of logistics campus T-Port Logistic Campus

T-Port Logistic Campus expands further with the start of the next construction phase at XL Business Park Twente. Located at a central spot in the eastern Netherlands, close to the German border and with an on-site barge terminal, T-Port Logistic Campus in Almelo lives up to its name at spot 6 of the logistics hotspots in the Netherlands.

Landing

The next 3 units on Phase North will be built to Heylen Warehouses' successful campus concept. Given the current climate after the Covid pandemic and the booming effect of e-commerce, more clients are looking for immediately available space to handle the overcapacity of product supply. Therefore, Heylen Warehouses has taken the decision to launch the next phase to give its clients the flexibility to grow in challenging times.

Some 33,000m², divided into 3 linkable units, state-of-the-art logistics warehouses with eye-catching offices will soon rise on the plain. The remaining 90,000m² will be realized in phases. Heylen Warehouses will raise its standard on this site to a clear height of 13.70m to capitalize on the latest trends in the e-commerce market. "We are pioneers and founders of technological innovations and by increasing the standard free height in Belgium and the Netherlands, we aim to make our buildings more future-proof than ever." says Philippe Deschilder, CEO of Heylen Warehouses.
