Our Flagship Projects
Transforming Logistics Real Estate
Montea develops future-proof logistics real estate across Europe, combining strategic locations, build-to-suit expertise, and strong sustainability standards. Our flagship projects demonstrate how complex sites can be transformed into high-performing logistics hubs that create long-term value for tenants, cities, and communities.
From brownfield redevelopments to tailor-made distribution centres, each project reflects Montea’s commitment to innovation, operational efficiency, and sustainable development.
Below you can explore a selection of projects that showcase how Montea turns vision into reality.
Blue Gate Antwerp: Transforming a brownfield into a vision for the future
Blue Gate Antwerp is one of Europe’s most ambitious urban redevelopment projects. What was once a heavily polluted brownfield site has been transformed into a future-oriented logistics and business hub, combining build-to-suit development with long-term sustainability and circular economy principles.
From Petroleum-Zuid to opportunity
For decades, the Petroleum-Zuid area in Antwerp served as a strategic storage hub for petroleum products. Industrial use, combined with environmental damage and abandonment, left the site heavily contaminated and largely unused by the late 20th century.
The challenge was not only to remediate the land, but to rethink its purpose entirely, reconnecting it with the city, the port, and future economic activity.
A strategic urban logistics location
Located just minutes from the heart of Antwerp and directly connected to the port and inland waterways, Blue Gate Antwerp offers a unique logistics position within an urban context.
Its accessibility by water, road, and proximity to key transport corridors makes it an ideal location for last-mile logistics, distribution, and clean-tech activities — all while limiting environmental impact.
Build-to-suit logistics with sustainability at the core
Montea played a key role in developing tailor-made logistics facilities at Blue Gate Antwerp. Each project was designed in close collaboration with tenants, balancing operational efficiency with strict sustainability requirements.
Milestones include:
- The DHL Delivery Centre, completed in 2021
- Belgium’s first Amazon Logistics delivery centre, delivered in 2022
- A multi-tenant sustainable logistics hub delivered in 2024
All developments are BREEAM Excellent certified and go beyond energy neutrality, producing more renewable energy than they consume.
Concrete sustainability measures, not promises
Sustainability at Blue Gate Antwerp is embedded at every level of the project:
- Full soil remediation of the former brownfield
- Extensive use of solar panels and skylights
- Airtight loading docks and energy-efficient insulation
- Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) to accelerate construction and reduce CO₂ impact
- Green facades, biodiversity zones, and water management solutions
The result is an energy-positive logistics environment that actively contributes to air quality, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
Space for growth — today and tomorrow
Blue Gate Antwerp is designed with a long-term vision extending well beyond today’s logistics needs. Future plans include multi-level logistics buildings, energy hubs, urban farming, green public spaces, and facilities that integrate work, mobility, and recreation.
The site is evolving into a dynamic ecosystem where logistics, innovation, and urban life coexist — setting a benchmark for sustainable industrial redevelopment in Europe.
A reference project for sustainable build-to-suit development
Blue Gate Antwerp demonstrates how complex urban sites can be transformed into high-performing logistics hubs through remediation, collaboration, and smart build-to-suit development.
It stands as a reference project for Montea’s expertise in combining logistics real estate, sustainability, and long-term value creation — in the heart of the city.
