Necron Group

What Necron Group does

Necron Group AG is a Swiss-incorporated (Zug) real estate development and investment company founded in 2016 by Gerard van Liempt and Bjørn Carlier. It develops premium, BREEAM Excellent-certified projects across three verticals: logistics (Green Square Business Campus, Ridderkerk, DC Manzana, Eemshaven, Rotterdam Food Hub cold storage), healthcare (Health Innovation Campus Boxmeer with a Siemens Healthineers diagnostic centre), and hospitality (dual-branded Hilton and Marriott hotels, IntercityHotel portfolio). Technology differentiation centres on a proprietary 'Accelerator Method' (acquiring projects whose permits and leasing are pre-arranged) and automation-ready facility design—12+ metre clearances, three-phase power, redundant connectivity, IoT sensor networks, and edge computing capabilities that enable tenants to deploy robotics, computer vision, and predictive maintenance.

The business model mixes build-to-suit development with long-term leases and forward-funded sale of completed assets to institutional investors. Typical engagements are multi-year, project-specific contracts; pricing is bespoke (build-to-suit) and not publicly disclosed. The company operates across the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland, supported by an 11–50-person team, dedicated leasing directors, and broker partnerships (CBRE, KRK, Ooms, Dils). Tenant concentration is skewed to large enterprise users on long-term leases—Bausch + Lomb, JAS Worldwide, R&M Forwarding, Westerman Multimodal Logistics, Siemens Healthineers, and Rehadapt GmbH—with development risk partially hedged by forward funding arrangements (e.g., Borghese for the Laar hub).

Necron's positioning rests on three pillars: (i) guaranteed power and grid-bypass capacity (up to 6 MVA at Green Square) addressing Dutch grid congestion, (ii) sustainability certification that meets and exceeds EU taxonomy requirements, and (iii) a 12-month delivery promise for built-to-suit logistics. The platform's expansion cadence is aggressive: a #8 PropertyNL Top-50 ranking in 2025 (from #13 in 2024), entry into Germany in 2026, a 38-hectare Rotterdam Food Hub joint development with the Port of Rotterdam Authority, and the creation of a dedicated Necron Hospitality Group under ex-Colliers CEO Dirk Bakker.
