The GreenBerry XXL logistics platform, acquired by TwentyTwo Real Estate Fund III, is embracing renewable energy with an ambitious solar project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the successful leasing of 80,000 m\u00b2 of warehouse space near Bourges, TwentyTwo Real Estate has signed a 30-year lease with a subsidiary of the Urbasolar group<\/strong>. This collaboration will enable the construction and operation of a 9 MWp rooftop photovoltaic power plant<\/strong>, positioning GreenBerry as one of the largest solar installations in the Cher department.<\/p>\n

Triple Environmental, Economic, and Regulatory Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nicolas Lutg\u00e9, Director of Commercial Asset Management at TwentyTwo Real Estate, explains:<\/p>\n

“This partnership with Urbasolar, one of Europe’s leading photovoltaic companies, achieves three key goals: securing long-term rental income, complying with the 2023 Climate and Resilience Law, and generating carbon-neutral electricity on an already urbanised site.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Antoine Millioud, CEO of Urbasolar, adds:<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to support TwentyTwo Real Estate’s sustainable development strategy through this project, set to begin construction early next year. With our extensive expertise in photovoltaic systems and experience as a partner of Afilog, we understand the energy challenges in the logistics sector and excel in rooftop solar installations.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Setting New Environmental Standards<\/strong><\/p>\n

GreenBerry is a cutting-edge logistics platform designed to meet France’s increasing demand for large Grade A warehouses. With BREEAM Very Good certification<\/strong> and compliance with the Afilog charter<\/strong>, it integrates advanced technical and environmental features.<\/p>\n

In addition to the rooftop solar power plant, photovoltaic canopies will be installed over parking areas. The electricity generated will directly benefit tenants, enhancing their efforts to decarbonise supply chains.<\/p>\n

A Stronger ESG Commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of its ESG strategy, TwentyTwo Real Estate has partnered with Reforest\u2019Action<\/strong>, planting 11,000 trees across France<\/strong> after leasing GreenBerry. This initiative is part of a broader effort to finance reforestation projects for every area leased by the funds managed by the group.<\/p>\n
