JINGDONG Property Expands UK Footprint with Leicester Logistics Acquisition
Leicester, December 22, 2025 — JINGDONG Property announced the acquisition of a Grade-A logistics portfolio near Leicester, strengthening its presence in the United Kingdom’s logistics “Golden Triangle.” The transaction includes two large-scale warehouses totaling more than 231,000 square feet, along with an adjacent greenfield site capable of supporting up to 678,000 square feet of future industrial and logistics development.
The acquisition marks JINGDONG Property’s second investment in the UK, following its entry into the market in 2022 with a warehouse purchase in Milton Keynes. With the Leicester deal, the company’s total UK warehouse footprint will expand to nearly 3.93 million square feet.
Strategically located with direct access to the M1 and M69 motorways, the site provides connectivity to nearly one million people within a 20-kilometer radius and access to 90 percent of the UK population within four hours. The existing warehouses meet high environmental standards, holding BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings, and are equipped with EV charging infrastructure and solar-ready rooftops.
JINGDONG Property stated that the new investment reflects its long-term commitment to the UK market and to supporting regional supply chains through modern, sustainable logistics infrastructure.
