"Despite the phase of economic uncertainty related to the health emergency, Milan is still an important place to invest in a long-term perspective. In this sense, the acquisition of the Bodio Centre is characterized by the great potential associated with the urban development of the city. The real estate complex is located in an area designed to represent the natural evolution of the Porta Nuova district once the project to convert the railway stations has begun."

Owners : OPCI Opcimmo (50%), SCPI Genepierre (7,5%), SCPI Edissimmo (12,5%), SCPI Rivoli Avenir Patrimoine (5%)
Asset Management Company : Amundi Immobilier
In Heudebouville (Eure), Amundi Immobilier has invested € 65 Mn in a logistics platform that it will lease to Maisons du Monde for a period of 12 years. 250 jobs are expected in this logistics centre built by Gemfi. Rented from Maisons du Monde, a French furniture and decoration brand, this platform will have an area of 67,000 square metres of warehouses and 2000 square metres of offices. The construction is entrusted to the specialist developer of corporate real estate GEMFI.
Logistics assets have been on the rise in recent months. First, there is the rise of e-commerce and the development of the online sales sector, a growing success in response to a new consumer habit. These changes are correlated with the ecological transition and the desire to reduce the carbon footprint in the face of the tightening of environmental rules. These ecological and societal issues are also added to the need for storage assets closest to the consumer, the urban logistics of the last kilometer. All of these reasons justify the growing interest of real estate funds in moving towards this type of asset.
