It is the first time Ortega’s firm has invested in logistics real estate in Ireland, Pontegadea said. In March, it bought a luxury residential building in Dublin with 120 apartments for rent for around 100 million euros.
In 2019, Pontegadea Inmobiliaria, the firm’s real estate arm, completed the purchase of two Seattle office blocks leased to Amazon. It was the Spanish firm’s biggest deal in the United States at the time.
The Irish Times, which first reported the deal, said Pontegadea bought the 1.2 million square foot (111,484 square metres)industrial and logistics property in Dublin’s Baldonnell Business Park from property developer Mountpark.
About 630,000 square feet of the site are occupied by Amazon.
