H.I.G. Realty Expands Urban Logistics Platform in the UK with Strategic Acquisitions

H.I.G. Realty Expands Urban Logistics in Greater London

October 15, 2025 - London: H.I.G. Capital, a leading global alternative investment firm managing $70 billion in capital, recently announced the successful acquisition of two premier logistics properties in Greater London. This strategic move is set to enhance H.I.G. Realty’s urban logistics platform, which now encompasses over 1.5 million square feet of logistics space.

The newly acquired properties, located in Erith and Rainham, were purchased off-market and are strategically situated along key logistics corridors offering direct access to central London and major transportation routes. These sites are fully occupied but are significantly under-leased due to the existing lease structures. H.I.G. plans to unlock embedded value through a phased renovation and reconfiguration strategy, providing modern, high-quality logistics spaces for last-mile delivery, outdoor industrial storage, and flexible multi-use tenants.

Riccardo Dallolio, General Partner and Head of H.I.G. Realty in Europe, emphasized the importance of these acquisitions, stating, “These acquisitions reflect our belief in the continued structural growth of urban logistics and our capability to identify undervalued opportunities within one of Europe’s most dynamic industrial markets. Both sites offer immediate income and strong rental reversion potential, as well as substantial repositioning opportunities.”

With a focus on the under-markets of London and the Golden Triangle—areas characterized by high barriers to entry and limited supply—the demand for modern, institutionally qualified logistics stock continues to outweigh supply. This positioning makes H.I.G. Realty's acquisitions particularly timely and strategic.

Jérôme Fouillé, General Partner at H.I.G. Realty in Europe, commented on the firm’s future plans: “We remain focused on building a portfolio of prime, resilient logistics assets in intermediate urban markets with clear fundamentals and limited new supply. These transactions are emblematic of our thematic approach and targeted operational execution in under-managed areas that have the potential to provide modern and ESG-compliant products to the market.”

H.I.G. Realty operates with a clear strategy aimed at generating value through thoughtful management and enhancements to their assets. The firm continuously evaluates a robust pipeline of similar opportunities across the UK and continental Europe, looking to expand its impact in the logistics sector further.

Since its founding in 1993, H.I.G. has invested in over 400 companies worldwide, demonstrating a strong track record of robust management and strategic investment. The firm specializes in providing equity and debt capital to middle market companies and focusing on larger trends in various sectors, including real estate.
