Located in the second row for tarmac access, the building will combine a 5,000-square-metre warehouse with more than 700 square metres of office space on a site covering more than 8,700 square metres.
It will include six loading bays and be equipped with the latest sustainable technology such as charging stations for electric cars, energy-efficient exterior lighting, rainwater tanks, mechanical ventilation and covered bicycle parking.
Herfurth Logistics and its Brucargo Air Freight division employ 40 people at Brussels Airport, and it was one of the first concessions granted at the Brucargo site.
It says the acquisition of Brucargo Air Freight in 2016 at Building 740 combined with the end of the concession at Building 727 in 2010, as well as multiple developments made the infrastructure requirements no longer compatible with the existing sites.
