Frank Pörschke, P3 CEO, commented: “Despite ongoing economic uncertainties, the structural tailwinds in the logistics real estate sector remain strong. In 2024, we successfully navigated the macroeconomic landscape, achieving rental growth and strategic acquisitions to drive our portfolio value to €10.0 billion. Our ability to maintain high occupancy rates and deliver robust operational performance underscores P3’s resilience and long-term strategic vision. We continue to focus on sustainable growth, operational excellence, and disciplined capital management to create lasting value for our stakeholders.”

These results reflect our disciplined approach to growth, efficient re-leasing strategies, and prudent financial management. We continue to show access to capital with €1.57 billion of new debt raised in 2024, including two significantly oversubscribed Green bond issuances in February and September. We maintained strong liquidity of €1.0 billion at year-end. With a stable capital structure and continued support from our shareholder, we remain well-positioned to drive sustainable growth and long-term value creation.”
