P3, the specialist owner, developer and manager of European logistics properties, has won the Warehouse Investor of the Year award judged by Central & Eastern Europe-focused real estate publication EuropaProperty.com
The judges awarded P3 the title at Europa Property’s fourth annual Investment & Green Building Awards at a ceremony held in Warsaw earlier this month, citing its string of acquisitions that have added about 1.3 million m2 to its logistics warehouse platform and allowed it to assemble one of the largest land banks for future development.
Logan Smith, P3’s CIO, said: “It’s an honor to receive this award for P3, which has transformed itself through these acquisitions into one of the leading owners of logistics real estate in the European market. This would not have been possible without the support of our shareholders TPG and Ivanhoé Cambridge, who share the ambitions and vision of the P3 team to create an integrated and pan-European platform that best serves our customers.”
