Logistics Campus Limburg

Strategic Location Gateway Building Innovation and Collaboration

The flagship of the logistics sector

The Logistics Campus Limburg (LCL) is part of Logistics Valley Flanders, the large-scale redevelopment of the former Ford site spanning no less than 134 hectares. The site is divided into three zones: A, B, and C. While zones B and C are already under active development with Genk Green Logistics, Port of Limburg, and H.Essers Dry Port, zone A will become the central meeting place for the logistics sector. In 2022, POM Limburg (80%) and the city of Genk (20%) jointly acquired 4.5 hectares of this central zone.

The entire 4.5 hectares are designated for the development of manufacturing and logistics-supporting activities and the construction of a gateway building.

Strategic Location

The Logistics Campus Limburg is the central hub for companies, knowledge institutions, and organizations in the logistics sector. Strategically located between the seaports and the European hinterland, the campus sits along the Albert Canal, the railway, and near the E313 and E314 motorways. This development strengthens Limburg’s position as a leading logistics hub in Europe and increases the region’s attractiveness.

The Iconic Gateway Building

The tall gateway building of the Logistics Campus Limburg will serve as a landmark for Logistics Valley Flanders. A Limburg-based consortium, including Group Machiels and H.Essers, is joining forces to realize the project. The iconic structure will be built primarily using wood and concrete and will incorporate sustainable features such as solar and wind energy and water conservation. At the same time, it will accommodate a variety of functions, including offices for administrative services to the logistics and industrial sectors, training facilities, local port satellites, and even a supermarket or hospitality venue.

Preparations for plans and permits are currently underway. Construction will begin in 2026.

Innovation and Collaboration

POM Limburg plays a crucial role in the development of the Logistics Campus Limburg. By focusing on digitalization, innovation, sustainability, collaboration, and knowledge sharing, POM Limburg will strengthen the logistics and warehousing ecosystem from within the campus and thus contribute to the innovation and growth of the logistics sector in Limburg. This will be achieved through functions such as:
