This sale and leaseback transaction covers the existing cooling and freezing warehouse, together with a newly built freezing facility that’ll have a floor area of around 6,500 m². This cold storage facility was designed by RBK Group and shall feature 100% automated mobile racks. Construction starterd in February 2022. In addition, WDP will purchase the adjacent existing building and lease it out completely to Leen Menken Food Logistics B.V. through a sale and leaseback construction. Both properties will be taken into use in Q4 2022 on the basis of a long-term lease.
Everything is realised with an eye to sustainability and energy efficiency. The entire roof will be fitted with solar panels, with wind energy playing a vital role in the energy mix. This way, the building will become fully CO2 neutral.
Leen Menken Foodservice Logistics was founded in 1987 by Leen Menken. Initially a family business, the company was acquired by Bpost in 2018 and became a subsidiary. That, by extension, also makes it a subsidiary of DynaGroup. The company started out storing cooled and frozen products but diversified its portfolio to become a distribution partner focused on logistical unburdening for companies in the food industry.
