What Next Level Development does
Next Level Development B.V. is a Dutch logistics and industrial real estate developer headquartered in Eindhoven, North Brabant, founded in 2015. The company develops, rents, and invests in future-proof logistics and industrial properties primarily for enterprise tenants in food, beverage, automotive, fashion, e-commerce, and manufacturing sectors. Despite a small core team of 14 employees, the firm operates at significant scale, with 116 brownfield redevelopments completed over 8 years producing 4.4 million m² of new commercial real estate, and a pipeline that includes the 330,000 m² Urban Logistics Campus A12 in Bleiswijk and Logistics Campus Japanlaan in Aalsmeer.
The company's four core offerings are: (1) Core Bedrijfsgebouw, a standardized, ready-to-use logistics building concept with warehouse space, dock doors, mezzanine, and office areas; (2) Build-to-Suit, custom developments tailored to specific client operational requirements; (3) Brown to Green, brownfield acquisition and redevelopment including ground purchase, site research, demolition, soil remediation, and plan development; and (4) Investeren, investment services structuring sale-leaseback and joint-venture arrangements. All developments target BREEAM certification (Very Good to Excellent), with integrated solar energy solutions delivered through a strategic partnership with Ecorus (33 MWp completed, 30 MWp in development, 50 MWp target).
Revenue mechanics combine long-term rental income from Core buildings (recurring), build-to-suit development fees (project-based), capital appreciation and sale proceeds on brownfield redevelopments, and joint-venture or sale-leaseback structuring. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales led by Managing Director Marcel van Berlo and Director Acquisitions & Leasing Rene Geujen, with no intermediaries. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based; no public pricing tiers exist. Named enterprise customers include HelloFresh, Scania (framework agreement covering 34 Dutch locations), Refresco, Cornelissen, FrieslandCampina, Bestseller, HB-RTS, Locus Robotics, Holbox, TICA, D-Logistiek, and The Surgical Company.
