Jury commends property in Waddinxveen in the Netherlands for its focus on sustainability and employee well-being
Logistics property developer and investor Montea has received the Logistics Award from real estate magazine PropertyNL. Montea won the award alongside its client, specialist in on-the-go consumption Lekkerland, for the distribution center it built and delivered in Waddinxveen last year. The jury at the PropertyNL Awards praised the property for its sustainable and innovative design, as well as its employee-friendly approach. They also commended the close collaboration between Lekkerland, Montea and construction partner Remmers.
The PropertyNL Awards were presented at the Zuiderkerk church in Amsterdam on Thursday. PropertyNL uses the ceremony as a counterpoint to the ongoing debate over the visual impact of logistics properties. Every year, the company presents an award to a developer-end user collaboration. The magazine uses this opportunity to draw attention to the high levels of ingenuity, sustainability and innovation within the logistics real estate sector.
“We are extremely proud that what we have achieved by working closely together has been highlighted by the jury as a leading example for our industry.”
"We work hard every day not only to maximize, but also to future-proof value for both our end users and shareholders. The criticism our sector faces is mostly unjustified, and it is fantastic to see our work being held up as a shining example. This award strengthens our conviction that we are on the right track and inspires us to keep pushing for more.”
