Logistics real estate is vital in just about every sense.
It is essential to trade and e-commerce and serves as the crucial infrastructure that underpins the efficient global movement of goods. Without warehousing and logistics, there is no open economy.
At Montea we are proud to sustainably create the spaces that allow logistics and thus our economy, to flourish.
We are not about quick wins, but about creating long term value. As a result, sustainability is woven into everything we do for our clients. We build state-of-the-art warehouses of the future.
How do we do that?
We revitalise polluted old industrial sites and transform them into future proof and strategically located logistical hubs. This enables seamless multimodal transportation and efficient last mile delivery solutions. We not only develop green warehouses, we develop sustainable ones, taking the entire life cycle of our warehouses into consideration.
It all starts with the design and the choice of the right building materials:
- Our roofs are covered with long lasting EPDM to enhance durability and energy efficiency.
- Wherever possible, we opt for timbering office construction.
- Our specially designed loading docks ensure airtight efficiency while protective measures are applied to doors and other vulnerable parts to extend their lifespan.
- We create pleasant working conditions by bringing in natural daylight, efficient heating, ventilation and lighting.
- We install bike sheds and E bike charging points for our exteriors.
- We prioritise eco friendliness by incorporating water permeable surfaces and lush green spaces.
- We create zero emissions buildings naturally.
- We don't use gas.
- We equip our buildings with solar panels that not only meet our daily electricity needs but also power our heat pumps.
- This solar energy also charges electric trucks and cars and heats the water in sprinkler tanks to warm the building.
We see challenges for the future with higher energy demands due to e-mobility and grid congestion
Montea is ready with large battery energy storage systems. That way, Montea buildings can maintain continuity separate from the current grid.
But we go further, way further.
- The collected rainwater is used for outdoor taps, toilet flushing, sprinkler systems and to nourish green spaces.
- We integrate innovative smart technology to monitor energy efficiency and water consumption.
- Daily sensors predict the amount of necessary artificial lighting within a building.
- We monitor air quality and predict maintenance.
That way, Montea and our clients are ready for the future.
