P3 knows it is vital that modern warehouses work to make a positive impact upon their local environment and empower owners and occupiers to fulfil ambitious ‘green goals.’ Amid current booming demand for logistical facilities, P3 delivers high-quality assets with industry-leading standards in this area.
P3 Echt is a logistic warehouse that embodies our drive to go the extra mile to achieve our own environmental targets and those of our customers whose values we share.
Completed in 2021, it's the largest speculative development in the Netherlands built in the past 15 years, at circa 100,000m2. The asset is a rare example in Europe of a warehouse with a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ award.
BREEAM is the leading and longest-established standard for measuring energy efficiency in real estate. It is a stamp of quality for commercial property which enables development to take place in a sustainable way.
P3 Echt’s top rating makes it a major driver of decarbonisation in any portfolio. The ‘Outstanding’ rating also considers health and wellbeing, a critical factor during the global health crisis and beyond it. Local environmental impact, waste management, water usage and land utilisation are among other key metrics in the BREEAM rating.
This ‘Outstanding’ award makes P3 Echt stand out among 20 million m2 of BREEAM-certified floor space in the Netherlands. It's a beacon of good practice in the industrial sector, pointing the way to a more sustainable future.
Located in the Dutch municipality of Echt-Susteren near the south-eastern border with Germany, P3 Echt occupies a prime strategic location on the doorstep of Germany’s largest industrial region and the major cities of Dusseldorf and Cologne, including Cologne Bonn Airport, a major global cargo hub.
P3 Echt is a multi-modal facility ideally suited for land, air and sea logistics, serving Eindhoven Airport and Barge Terminal Born, which connects to Rotterdam.
Energy efficiency and environmental awareness is built in to P3 Echt. It's one of the most sustainable warehouses ever built in the Netherlands and embodies P3’s ethos of putting the customer at the heart of everything we do.
