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.
Can I find temperature-controlled or pharma space near Schiphol?
Yes. Pharma Gateway Amsterdam runs a 7,200 m² airside facility with dedicated temperature-controlled areas, and many handlers around the airport are certified for GDP and IATA CEIV Pharma. Space is scarce, so start early. See our guide to renting cold and frozen warehouse space.
