Dunas Capital Real Estate has secured financing of €31 million with Cheyne Capital to build a 36,000 m2 logistics platform in Antequera's Dry Port. The warehouse, already pre-leased to Ontime Logística Integral, will specialise in tri-temperature cold chain logistics.
The Dry Port of Antequera welcomes a new logistics giant. Dunas Capital Real Estate has finalised a financing agreement with Cheyne Capital for €31 million to develop a 36,000 square metre platform dedicated to cold storage. The facility will be fully leased to Ontime Logística Integral, which will use it for temperature-controlled products.
One of the largest cold storage platforms in Spain
The warehouse will be built on a plot of 63,000 m2, of which more than 20,000 m2 will be allocated to temperature-controlled storage, both positive and negative. The management company assures that it will be one of the cold chain platforms with the highest technological capacity in the Spanish market.
The design includes sustainable construction criteria, with high energy efficiency refrigeration systems and renewable energy generation solutions to power the cooling equipment. This will help reduce energy consumption and associated emissions.
The Dry Port, a strategic hub for Andalusian logistics
The chosen location is the Dry Port of Antequera, a logistics node integrated into the Logistics Network of Andalusia and managed by the French group Groupe IDEC. With over 330 hectares, it has direct connections to the Mediterranean and Atlantic railway corridors, as well as access to the road network, ports, and airports in southern Spain.
For the residents of Antequera and the surrounding area, this infrastructure represents a boost to employment and economic activity. The platform will generate jobs both during its construction and in its operational phase, consolidating the municipality as a logistics reference point in southern Spain.
The financing has been structured by Dunas Capital Real Estate with the advice of Dunas Capital Debt, the group's division specialised in alternative financing and structured real estate debt. Miguel López Puche, CEO of Dunas Capital Real Estate, highlights that the size and technological features of the development consolidate the company's position in the cold logistics segment and reinforce its commitment to energy-efficient solutions.
Meanwhile, Javier Quintela, director for the Iberian Peninsula at Cheyne Capital Real Estate, emphasises that the operation reflects the firm's interest in specialised logistics infrastructures located in strategic sites within the Iberian market.
With this addition, Dunas Capital Real Estate's logistics portfolio exceeds 255,000 m2 of operational assets and more than 4.5 million m2 of net industrial space under management in Spain. The company already has a presence in Noblejas (Toledo), Chiloeches (Guadalajara), Loriguilla (Valencia), Castellbisbal (Barcelona), and Antequera (Málaga).
The forecast is that construction will begin in the coming months and that the platform will be operational within an estimated timeframe of 18 to 24 months. Those interested in learning more about the project can visit the Dunas Capital Real Estate website.
