The Valencian Community started 2026 with close to 750,000 square meters of industrial and logistics space under development, the largest volume of projects underway in recent years, according to Savills. In parallel, other markets along the Mediterranean coast continue to gain prominence in the expansion strategies of operators and investors drawn by its connectivity, available land, and capacity to host new industrial developments.
In this context, investor Accolade has identified two projects on the Mediterranean coast as a growth priority in Spain. Located in Alzira, Valencia, and Alcantarilla, Murcia, both are currently in the planning stage and will be developed under a build-to-suit (BTS) model, which will allow facilities to be tailored to the needs of the future user. Together, they will add close to 90,000 square meters of gross leasable area and represent an investment of nearly €100 million.
“Regional markets are gaining increasing importance within strategies for industrial deployment and supply chains. The combination of connectivity, land availability, and the ability to develop modern assets is driving new opportunities with significant potential for growth in the medium and long term,” says Eduardo Feliciano, Accolade’s Iberia Business Director.
Alzira, a new development to accompany Valencian industrial growth
The company’s main project planned along the Mediterranean arc is located in Alzira, one of the most established industrial hubs in the Valencian Community. Accolade plans to develop a platform of approximately 65,000 square meters, designed to meet the needs of industrial, logistics, and distribution companies seeking state-of-the-art facilities in a strategic location within the Mediterranean corridor.
It will represent an investment of nearly €70 million and will be conceived under the highest sustainability standards, in line with the company’s strategy to develop infrastructures prepared for the future needs of industry. This park aims to respond to the growing interest in locations capable of combining connectivity, land availability, and access to some of the country’s main transport corridors.
Additionally, its location will enable efficient connections to some of the country’s leading industrial and distribution nodes, including the Port of Valencia, the Mediterranean Corridor, and the main road axes of the Valencian Community. It is currently in the planning stage, advancing the definition of a development aligned with the industrial demand projected for the area.
Murcia will strengthen its role in Spain’s southeast
In parallel, the company is planning a new industrial park in Alcantarilla, a municipality with significant industrial and business activity within the Region of Murcia. It is expected to cover approximately 23,500 square meters and involve an investment of around €27 million.
This project, currently in the planning phase, will be located at a strategic point for national and international distribution operations and will serve sectors with a strong presence in the region, such as agribusiness, food, or activities related to temperature-controlled logistics.
The growing export activity of southeastern Spain, along with Murcia’s consolidation as one of the country’s leading agro-industrial hubs, is driving interest in modern infrastructures able to meet increasingly stringent technical and operational requirements.
The Mediterranean gains weight on the Spanish industrial map
The Valencia and Murcia projects fit into a broader trend transforming the Spanish industrial market. Pressure on traditional markets, the need for more efficient infrastructure, and the search for new locations with room to grow are fueling the development of regional markets with a solid productive base and good transport connections.
Accolade believes this evolution will continue in the coming years, especially in regions capable of combining industrial activity, international connectivity, and land availability for new developments.
“Spain has a highly relevant opportunity to continue reinforcing its industrial capacity through the development of modern and sustainable infrastructures in regional markets. With more than 100,000 square meters under management and a project pipeline surpassing 350,000 square meters nationwide, we want to keep expanding our footprint with initiatives that add value to both the companies and the territories where they are established,” concludes Feliciano.
