Warehouse Space in Schiphol / Amsterdam
Schiphol and the wider Amsterdam region are the Netherlands’ air-freight gateway. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Europe’s fourth-largest cargo airport, handled 1.5 million tonnes of freight in 2024, up 8.2%. Warehousing here is built around speed: pharma, perishables and e-commerce express, in the smallest, most expensive units in the country.

The character of the market shapes what you should look for on the ground:
- Air-cargo-adjacent handling for time-critical and temperature-controlled goods
- Clustered around Schiphol Logistics Park, Aalsmeer and Hoofddorp, with pharma-compliant space
- Pharma, perishables and high-value express e-commerce
- Scarce land across the Randstad, so smaller and higher-rent units
We map your operation to the region before we shortlist a single building:
- Pharma, life-sciences and cold-chain operations
- E-commerce express and high-value, time-critical goods
- Tenants that must be minutes from the freight terminals
Warehousing in Schiphol / Amsterdam
What kind of warehousing does Schiphol specialise in?
Air-freight-adjacent space: temperature-controlled and pharma handling, high-value and time-critical goods, and express e-commerce. Because proximity to the cargo terminals is the whole point, units are smaller and command the highest rents in the Netherlands.
Is space available directly at Schiphol, or nearby?
On-airport cargo space is limited and tightly held. Most tenants take modern units in the surrounding Randstad, Hoofddorp, Aalsmeer, Amsterdam Westpoort and along the A4/A9, within a short drive of the terminals.
