• Technology group leases new building in Leipheim

  July 17, 2026 7:19 am Comments Off on Technology group leases new building in Leipheim

  Property is part of a joint venture between Garbe Industrial and Logicenters/Urban Partners 

   

  Garbe Industrial has fully let a multifunctional commercial property in Leipheim, Germany shortly before its completion. A well-known technology group has moved into the new building with a total area of approx. 11,900 square metres. The property is part of a joint venture between Garbe Industrial and Logicenters, the modern logistics specialist owned by Urban Partners. 

   

  “This rapid letting success sends a strong signal: even in economically challenging times, it pays to invest in high-quality properties in attractive locations,” underlines Mehmed Muhić, Regional Head South/Development at Garbe Industrial. “Bringing a project like this to a successful conclusion is only possible if the local stakeholders – the city, the district administration, the developers and the construction company – all pull together. We would like to thank everyone for this.” It took less than three months for the building permit to be granted, emphasises Mehmed Muhić: “That kind of fast pace gives us, as investors, planning security and speeds up the realisation process.” 

   

  For Logicenters, Leipheim exemplifies the type of state-of-the-art logistics facility the company aims to develop. Backed by leading investor Urban Partners, Logicenters focuses on creating modern, sustainable logistics assets in strategically important locations. “The focus is on well-located, functional space purpose built with the right specifications for today’s global tenants. Securing a tenant before completion confirms both the attractiveness of the asset and the continued relevance of this kind of product in the market,” says Wolfgang Ködel, Managing Director and Head of Real Estate Germany at Urban Partners. 

   

  The new building was constructed on a so-called brownfield site, which used to be part of an airbase. After its military use, the former airfield was converted into the 112-hectare inter-municipal industrial estate known as “Areal Pro”. In autumn 2024, Garbe Industrial and Logicenters acquired the approximately 20,000 square metres of derelict land and began revitalising it. First, the old foundations and buildings as well as a 30-metre-high chimney had to be demolished and the rubble disposed of professionally, before Goldbeck, a company specialising in the construction of commercial properties, began the actual building work as general contractor in the second quarter of 2025. The two joint venture partners Garbe Industrial and Logicenters have invested around 17 million euros in the project. 

   

  The lease agreement covers around 11,200 square metres of hall space as well as just under 700 square metres of offices and social area. Trucks can dock at ten loading bays and a ground-level sectional door for loading and unloading. There are parking spaces for 40 cars and two trucks in the outdoor area. As the property was developed in accordance with current ESG standards, the new building is aiming for certification in accordance with the Gold Standard of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). 

   

  Leipheim is located approx. 30 kilometres north-east of Ulm. The A8 motorway is only a few kilometres away. It connects the location with key economic hubs in southern Germany – to the west, for example, with Ulm and Stuttgart, and to the east with Augsburg and Munich. The Ulm/Elchingen motorway junction, around eleven kilometres away, provides access to the A7 motorway. At around 960 kilometres in total, it is not only the longest motorway in Germany, but also one of the country’s most important north-south axes. 

   

  The property consultancy firm BNP Paribas Real Estate acted as an intermediary in the letting. 

• Logicenters by Urban Partners and HIH Invest acquire logistics development site in the Port of Hamburg

  July 7, 2026 7:02 am Comments Off on Logicenters by Urban Partners and HIH Invest acquire logistics development site in the Port of Hamburg

  Logicenters by Urban Partners and HIH Invest have acquired another development in the Port of Hamburg. The approximately 117,280 sqm brownfield site will be named TriPort Hamburg, a modern logistics park benefiting from direct access to sea, rail and road infrastructure. The project represents the joint venture’s fifth investment and its second logistics investment in Hamburg in a short period of time.

   

  Urban Partners, via its logistics development and management business Logicenters, and HIH Invest Real Estate (HIH Invest) have acquired another development site in Hamburg through their existing joint venture. A modern and highly flexible logistics park is being developed on a rare freehold site within Germany’s largest seaport and Europe’s third largest, with a planned total leasable area of approximately 77,000 sqm across three building components. This includes approximately 64,000 sqm of leasable indoor space, comprising around 54,700 sqm of warehouse, 6,600 sqm of mezzanine, 2,700 sqm of office, and approximately 14,000 sqm of industrial industrial outdoor storage area.

   

  One of the building sections, providing approximately 45,000 sqm, is already fully leased. The remaining rental space of approximately 32,000 sqm will be jointly marketed by HIH Invest and Four Parx and can be leased in units starting at approximately 6,500 sqm. The brownfield site offers trimodal connectivity via road, rail, and the harbour basin, as well as direct access to the Elbe River via its own dock.

   

  “With the acquisition of the site and the planned development of the logistics park in the Port of Hamburg, we are underscoring the importance of Germany’s logistics sector – particularly given the critical need for secure supply chains and resilient critical infrastructure. At the same time, we are sending a clear signal about the city’s appeal with our second project in a short period of time. The fact that 50% of the space has already been pre-leased on a long-term basis is a testament to the high quality of the location. Our continued collaboration with HIH Invest further highlights the strength of this partnership”, says Wolfgang Ködel, Managing Director and Head of Real Estate Germany at Urban Partners.

   

  “With this transaction, we are underscoring our strategy of investing in first-class logistics locations that are highly attractive to our customers. This project stands out for its excellent location in Hamburg and its trimodal transportation access. It allows us to offer future tenants direct port and rail connections in addition to excellent road access”, adds Henning Kirchenkamp, Business Development and Commercial Manager at Logicenters by Urban Partners.

   

  The project will be carried out in collaboration with developer Four Parx under a forward funding model and is targeting DGNB Gold certification as part of the brownfield redevelopment.

   

  “This transaction marks the second project in the Hamburg logistics market that we are carrying out in partnership with Urban Partners. We are very pleased about this, and it reaffirms our focus on logistics sites with sustainable value-creation potential. At the same time, we are proud to be implementing another project with such an exceptional location in our home city of Hamburg”, says Lars Bothe, Head of Value-Add Investments at HIH Invest.

   

  The logistics investment is funded by the Urban Partners NSF V Fund and follows the project in Hamburg-Billbrook. It marks the second logistics investment by Urban Partners and HIH Invest in Hamburg and the fifth transaction overall for their joint venture.

   

  “With this project, we are securing one of the rare logistics sites directly at the port with trimodal connectivity and excellent integration into national and international supply chains. This enables us to develop modern logistics spaces that meet users’ growing demands for efficiency, resilience, and sustainability”, says Maximilian Tappert, Head of Transaction Management Logistics at HIH Invest.

   

  Cushman & Wakefield advised the seller on the transaction, with legal counsel provided by Taylor Wessing. Ashurst conducted the legal due diligence on behalf of the buyer. Drees & Sommer provided technical advisory services. Leasing is being handled jointly by HIH Invest and Four Parx.

• HIH Invest and Logicenters acquire logistics project development in Hamburg-Billbrook

  June 3, 2026 7:24 am Comments Off on HIH Invest and Logicenters acquire logistics project development in Hamburg-Billbrook

  HIH Invest and Logicenters have acquired a new development project in one of Germany’s leading logistics locations, with a convenient location near the city. The project will provide approximately 17,300 sqm of modern space and is targeting DGNB Gold certification. The development is being delivered through a forward-funding model with Peper & Söhne.

   

  HIH Invest, in a joint venture with Urban Partners via its logistics development and management business Logicenters, has agreed to acquire a logistics development project in Hamburg-Billbrook. The speculative development is being built on a plot of approximately 24,000 sqm and comprises a total lettable area of ​​around 17,300 sqm, of which approximately 15,500 sqm are logistics space and 1,320 sqm are office space. The space can be divided into up to two units. Completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2027.

   

  “With the acquisition in Hamburg-Billbrook, we are securing a location in one of Germany’s top logistics areas with consistently high demand for space. The combination of an inner-city location and excellent transport connections creates stable conditions for leasing. Due to the site’s outstanding location, we are very optimistic about the project’s leasing prospects”, says Maximilian Tappert, Head of Transaction Management Logistics at HIH Invest.

   

  The property is being developed using a forward funding model. Peper & Söhne GmbH is the project developer, and GOLDBECK Nord GmbH is the general contractor. The logistics property is designed as a sustainable new construction project and is aiming for DGNB Gold certification. Features include a photovoltaic system and a heat pump for fossil-free operation.

   

  “With this acquisition, we are already making our fourth investment within a year as part of our cooperation with Urban Partners. Further transactions are already in the pipeline, and we are continuously reviewing additional investment opportunities for the current year”, says Lars Bothe, Head of Value Add Investments at HIH Invest.

   

  The Billbrook site is one of Germany’s leading commercial and logistics locations and occupies a top position within Hamburg. With its excellent connections to the A1, A7, and A24 motorways and its immediate proximity to the port, it offers optimal conditions for national and international goods flows. The excellent rail infrastructure and proximity to Hamburg Airport create ideal conditions for time-critical logistics, contract logistics, e-commerce, production, and light industrial operations.

   

  The joint venture between HIH Invest and Urban Partners’ Logicenters focuses on providing capital for development-ready, sustainable logistics properties in Germany.

   

  “This acquisition is a milestone for Urban Partners in our endeavor to expand our presence in the logistics sector in Germany. We are delighted to continue our successful partnership with HIH Invest with our fourth logistics transaction”, says Wolfgang Ködel, Managing Director and Head of Germany at Urban Partners.

   

  Ashurst conducted the legal due diligence. Drees & Sommer provided technical consulting. Robert C. Spies acted as the real estate agent and will lead the marketing of the spaces.

• Logicenters project named finalist for MIPIM Awards 2026

  March 12, 2026 9:11 pm Comments Off on Logicenters project named finalist for MIPIM Awards 2026

  A landmark logistics development by Logicenters, GARBE Industrial Real Estate and Urban Partners at the Port of Straubing-Sand in Germany has been named a finalist for the MIPIM Awards 2026 in the category Best Industrial & Logistics Project.

   

  The project – set to become Europe’s largest timber-built logistics facility – is one of four finalists in the category. The winners will be announced on 12 March 2026 during the MIPIM Awards ceremony at MIPIM in Cannes, France.

   

  Designed with sustainability at its core, the project sets a new benchmark for low-carbon logistics developments. The building’s structural timber and façade materials are sourced from sustainably managed forests in Austria and Bavaria. The project also incorporates circular construction principles, with demountable structures that allow the building to be dismantled and potentially rebuilt elsewhere in the future.

   

  Additional sustainability features include a green roof, photovoltaic installation and energy-efficient LED lighting. Heating will be provided by a climate-friendly air-to-air heat pump, enabling the building to operate without fossil fuels.

   

  The development is targeting DGNB Gold certification from the German Sustainable Building Council.

   

  Being named a finalist for the MIPIM Awards highlights the project’s ambition to combine large-scale logistics functionality with innovative and sustainable construction.

• Logicenters and evolutiq to redevelop brownfield site into logistics hub in Cologne-Ossendorf

  January 20, 2026 8:54 am Comments Off on Logicenters and evolutiq to redevelop brownfield site into logistics hub in Cologne-Ossendorf

  Cologne-based company evolutiq GmbH is developing a modern multi-user logistics property with approximately 24,000 sqm of gross floor area in Cologne on behalf of Logicenters for its Nordic Strategy Fund NSF V.

   

  The project is based on a site of around 37,900 sqm located near evolutiq’s corporate headquarters and currently leased to various tenants. The planned brownfield redevelopment sends a strong signal for sustainable land revitalization and the strengthening of Cologne as a key business location.

   

  Following the expiry of the existing lease agreements, the site is to be repurposed. The aim is to realize a modern logistics facility that meets the growing demands of efficient supply chains while also fulfilling high standards of sustainability and flexibility.

   

  The property is designed as a multi-user concept and can be subdivided into up to four units. This configuration allows for flexible use by both larger single-tenant occupiers and multi-tenant solutions, addressing the needs of a broad range of logistics and commercial users.

   

  Sustainability at the core

  The project will be certified in accordance with the DGNB Gold Standard and follows a comprehensive sustainability strategy. Planned features include the use of heat pump technology, photovoltaic systems and a partially green roof, contributing both to the ecological enhancement of the site and to the improvement of the local microclimate.

   

  The project also highlights the joint commitment of evolutiq and Logicenters to sustainable, future-oriented commercial real estate.

   

  Further project details will be announced in due course.

• Urban Partners and HIH Invest acquire logistics development near Hanover in joint venture

  December 5, 2025 2:52 pm Comments Off on Urban Partners and HIH Invest acquire logistics development near Hanover in joint venture

  The majority of the project is being financed with funds from Urban Partners’ NSF V Fund, currently the largest value-add real estate fund in Europe. Spanning a total of approximately 15,000 square meters of rental space, and fully pre-let, this marks the third transaction by the joint venture focusing on German logistics real estate.

   

  Urban Partners, through its Strategies Fund V, and HIH Invest Real Estate (HIH Invest) have acquired a logistics project in Garbsen, Lower Saxony, as part of an existing joint venture. The purchase in Garbsen is already the third joint project between the two companies. The joint venture focuses on acquiring capital for sustainable logistics properties in Germany that are ready for development.

   

  Construction of the logistics hall on the approximately 25,000 square meter site in Garbsen will begin in the first quarter of 2026. The property is expected to be completed and ready for occupancy at the end of 2026. The entire property has already been leased on a long-term basis.

   

  This transaction is Urban Partners’ tenth investment in the logistics sector in Germany. The company currently manages over 210,000 square meters of logistics projects in Germany. The purchase in Garb-sen follows the joint acquisition of a logistics project in Herten in the spring and one in Bensheim in southern Hesse in the summer of 2025.

   

  The logistics project is located in an established commercial and industrial area in Garbsen. Direct access to the B6 federal highway provides quick connections to the A2 and A352 motorways, which link up with the A7. Hanover Airport can be reached in just under 20 minutes, and the Hanover-Lehrte freight transport center in around 30 minutes.

   

  The legal due diligence was carried out by Ashurst. Drees & Sommer provided technical advice.

• Garbe Industrial und Logicenters feiern Richtfest in Leipheim

  November 12, 2025 3:05 pm Comments Off on Garbe Industrial und Logicenters feiern Richtfest in Leipheim

  Nur wenige Monate nach Baubeginn feiert Garbe Industrial gemeinsam mit dem Joint-Venture-Partner Logicenters, der Entwicklungs- und Managementplattform für Logistikimmobilien von Urban Partners, das Richtfest für eine neue, rund 11.600 Quadratmeter große, multifunktionale Gewerbeimmobilie im schwäbischen Leipheim (Landkreis Günzburg), etwa 30 Kilometer nordöstlich von Ulm. Das Investitionsvolumen beläuft sich auf rund 17 Millionen Euro.

   

  Das Neubauprojekt entsteht auf einem 20.000 Quadratmeter großen Grundstück. Es ist Teil des früheren Flugplatzes Leipheim, der nach seiner militärischen Nutzung in das 112 Hektar große interkommunale Gewerbegebiet „Areal Pro“ überführt wurde.

   

  „Die Revitalisierung von Brownfields bietet nicht nur hohes Potenzial für zukunftsgerichtete Projektentwicklungen“, betont Adrian Zellner, Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung von Garbe Industrial. „Versiegelte Flächen wieder nutzbar zu machen und sie unter Berücksichtigung moderner Nachhaltigkeitsstandards aufzuwerten, unterstützt auch das von der Politik vorgegebene Ziel, den Flächenverbrauch in Deutschland langfristig zu begrenzen.“

   

  Dank der schnellen Erteilung der Baugenehmigung konnte mit der Errichtung der Immobilie wie geplant im zweiten Quartal 2025 begonnen werden. Vor Baubeginn waren bereits im ersten Quartal notwendige Abbrucharbeiten erfolgt – unter anderem mussten alte Fundamente und Gebäude abgerissen und das Abbruchmaterial fachgerecht entsorgt werden.

   

  Der Neubau umfasst rund 10.400 Quadratmeter Hallenfläche sowie 1.200 Quadratmeter Büro-, Sozial- und weitere Nebenflächen auf Zwischenebenen. Zur Ausstattung gehören zehn Überladebrücken, ein ebenerdiges Sektionaltor, 40 Stellplätze für Pkw sowie zwei für Lkw.

   

  Fertiggestellt werden soll die moderne Gewerbeimmobilie Anfang des zweiten Quartals 2026 und damit früher als ursprünglich geplant. Die Bauausführung verantwortet die auf die Errichtung von Gewerbeimmobilien spezialisierte Firma Goldbeck als Generalunternehmer.

   

  Adrian Zellner: „Ich bin zuversichtlich, dass wir die neuen Flächen auch zügig vermieten werden. Aktuell führen wir dazu Gespräche mit zwei Mietinteressenten.“

   

  Neben einer effizienten Realisierung haben die beiden Joint-Venture-Partner großen Wert auf Nachhaltigkeit gelegt und die Immobilie nach aktuellen ESG-Standards entwickelt. So bieten die Dachflächen Platz für eine Photovoltaikanlage mit einer Leistung von bis zu einem Megawatt Peak, um die Versorgung mit regenerativer Energie sicherzustellen. Die Beheizung des Gebäudes erfolgt mittels klimafreundlicher Luftwärmepumpen – ganz ohne fossile Brennstoffe. Für den Neubau wird eine Zertifizierung nach dem Gold-Standard der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen (DGNB) angestrebt.

   

  Ein weiterer Pluspunkt des Standorts ist seine verkehrsgünstige Lage: Die A8 ist nur etwa drei Kilometer entfernt und verbindet Leipheim mit den Wirtschaftsräumen Ulm, Stuttgart, Augsburg und München. Über das Autobahnkreuz Ulm/Elchingen besteht zudem direkter Anschluss an die A7, eine der wichtigsten Nord-Süd-Achsen Deutschlands.

• Logicenters, Nrep’s logistics platform and HIH Invest are developing a site in Bensheim, Germany

  August 26, 2025 8:53 am Comments Off on Logicenters, Nrep’s logistics platform and HIH Invest are developing a site in Bensheim, Germany

  HIH Invest Real Estate (HIH Invest), in partnership with Logicenters, Nrep’s development & management platform for logistics properties has acquired a logistics development project in Bensheim, Germany through its Nordic Strategies Fund V (NSF V).

   

  The project is located on a 40,000-square-metre site in the Rhine-Neckar region. It will deliver 22,861 square meters of gross lettable space – out of which 18,995 square meters is logistics space. Construction is set to begin in the first quarter of 2026, with completion and handover expected by early 2027. The development is already fully pre-let on a long-term lease.

   

  “The cooperation with Nrep has been successful and based on partnership. The project development in Bensheim perfectly aligns with our investment strategy on account of the pre-letting in place, combined with an energy-efficient, taxonomy-compliant building concept. As one of the largest logistics investment managers in Germany, we now manage almost EUR 1.3 billion in assets under management in logistics properties,” says Lars Bothe, Head of Value Add Investments at HIH Invest.

   

  Targeting high quality, sustainable logistics properties in key German locations is a significant part of the joint venture strategy, which the Bensheim site strengthens. The project benefits from excellent transport connections, with direct access to the A5 and A67 motorways. Frankfurt am Main Airport, along with the cities of Mannheim, Ludwigshafen, Heidelberg, and Darmstadt, are all reachable within 30 minutes.

   

  Further collaboration between HIH Invest and Nrep reflects a growing focus on logistics that combine location, tenant security, and sustainability credentials. By pooling their development, financing, and asset management expertise, the partners are well-positioned to deliver high-performing assets in a segment with robust demand fundamentals. This represents the second joint acquisition between HIH Invest and Nrep following their earlier project in Herten, Germany.

   

  “We’re delighted to once again join forces with HIH Invest to launch another strategically located facility in Bensheim. This joint venture underscores our shared commitment to developing state-of-the-art, sustainable logistics properties. Working with HIH enables us to meet the evolving needs of our tenants and clients with confidence and capacity,” says Martin Ohly, Head of Logicenters Germany.

   

  The logistics property’s strategic location in the Rhine-Neckar region – one of Germany’s strongest economic areas – offers a distinct competitive advantage. With excellent infrastructure, access to labor, and proximity to major population centers, the region continues to attract logistics and distribution occupiers seeking centralized and scalable operations.

• Nreps Logistikplattform Logicenters und HIH Invest erwerben eine teilweise vorvermietete Logistikimmobilie in Herten (NRW) im Rahmen eines Joint Venture

  May 20, 2025 10:30 am Comments Off on Nreps Logistikplattform Logicenters und HIH Invest erwerben eine teilweise vorvermietete Logistikimmobilie in Herten (NRW) im Rahmen eines Joint Venture

  Der Immobilieninvestor Nrep geht über seine Entwicklungs- und Managementplattform für Logistikimmobilien, Logicenters, ein Joint Venture mit der Hamburger HIH Invest Real Estate ein, um Kapital für (teilweise) vorvermietete, nachhaltige, Ready-to-develop-Logistikimmobilien in Bestlagen in Deutschland bereitzustellen.

   

  • Das erste Projekt in Herten mit einer Gesamtfläche von rund 36.821 m² ist zu rund 50 % vorvermietet, der Baubeginn steht unmittelbar bevor. Der Großteil des Projekts wird mit Mitteln aus Nrep’s Nordic Strategies Fund V (NSFV) finanziert.
  • Mit dieser Erweiterung seiner Strategie intensiviert der führende nordeuropäische Immobilieninvestor Nrep seine Aktivitäten in Deutschland und treibt die Entwicklung moderner, umweltfreundlicher Logistikimmobilien weiter voran.
  • Die Anlagestrategie des Joint Ventures zielt auf die wachsende Finanzierungslücke für Ready-to-develop-Projekte, die spezialisierte lokale Logistikentwickler im Schatten globaler Marktunsicherheiten erleben.

   

  Logicenters, Tochterunternehmen des Immobilieninvestors Nrep von Urban Partners, und der Hamburger Investmentmanager für Immobilien und Infrastruktur HIH Invest Real Estate gründen ein Joint Venture, um gemeinsam Value-Add-Investments im Bereich Logistikimmobilien in Deutschland zu realisieren.

   

  Die Kooperation erweitert Nreps strategischen Ansatz und zielt darauf ab, Entwicklungsprojekte im Bereich Logistikimmobilien zu realisieren, die bereits genehmigt und zumindest teilweise vorvermietet sind. Relevante Kriterien sind die zumindest teilweise Vorvermietung und das Vorliegen einer Festpreisvereinbarung. Die Gebäudeeffizienz und ihr nachhaltiges Design spielen eine zentrale Rolle: Die Projekte des Joint Ventures sollen den Anforderungskriterien des Nachhaltigkeitszertifikats DGNB Gold und der EU-Taxonomie entsprechen.

   

  Als Teil von Nrep gehört Logicenters zu Urban Partners und ist spezialisiert auf die Entwicklung moderner, nachhaltiger und flexibel nutzbarer Distributionszentren und Cross-Docking-Terminals. Durch die Kombination seiner umfassenden Expertise mit den lokalen Marktkenntnissen der HIH Invest und den operativen Fähigkeiten bei der Entwicklung und Steuerung von Immobilien, Investments und Strukturierungen sollen Marktchancen ökonomisch und ökologisch erschlossen werden. Dies wird letztlich auch dazu beitragen, die steigende Nachfrage nach modernen, energieeffizienten Logistikimmobilien zu bedienen, die höchsten Industriestandards entsprechen.

   

  Die Verträge für das erste Projekt des Joint Ventures in Herten (NRW) wurden im April unterzeichnet. In Herten ist die Entwicklung eines Logistikgebäudes mit einer Gesamtfläche von 36,821 m² geplant. Mit dem Bau wird im 2. Quartal 2025 begonnen, geplante Übergabe ist im 3. Quartal 2026. Weitere gemeinsame Projekte werden fallweise durchgeführt, wozu ein permanenter Austausch mit lokalen Entwicklerpartnern gepflegt wird.

   

  Wolfgang Ködel, Head of Nrep Deutschland und für die Transaktion zuständig, sagte: „In Deutschland bleibt der Markt für Logistikimmobilien in besten Lagen aufgrund eines Mangels an nachhaltigen und flexiblen Flächen weiterhin angespannt. Unsere Partnerschaft mit HIH Invest ergänzt unsere bestehenden Strategien, die wir verfolgen, um diese Chancen zu nutzen und unsere Präsenz auf dem deutschen Markt auszubauen. Durch die Kombination unserer Expertise im Bereich nachhaltiger, flexibler Logistikzentren mit den Fähigkeiten der HIH Invest sind wir in der Lage, mit diesen Entwicklungsprojekten einen erheblichen Mehrwert zu generieren.“

   

  Felix Meyen, Managing Director von HIH Invest, kommentiert: „Wir kennen die Bedürfnisse und Anforderungen der Nutzer an die Mietobjekte und können auf Trends und sich verändernde Rahmenbedingungen reagieren, um Wertsteigerungen zu realisieren. Im aktuellen Marktumfeld bieten sich attraktive Chancen bei ausgewählten Developments. Durch unser breites Netzwerk und unsere umfangreiche Asset-Management-Kompetenz bringen wir das ideale Setup zur Umsetzung mit. Wir freuen uns sehr über die Zusammenarbeit mit NREP, die für uns auch ein Schritt in Richtung Zukunft ist.“

   

  Martin Ohly, Head of Logicenters Germany, sagte: „Wir freuen uns sehr über die Partnerschaft mit der HIH Invest und das erste Projekt in Herten, das in einem gut angebundenen Industriegebiet liegt. Dieses Joint Venture spiegelt unser Engagement bei der Entwicklung hochmoderner, energieeffizienter Logistikimmobilien wider, mit denen wir viele Anforderungen der Mietenden abdecken.“

   

  Nrep wurde von Hogan Lovells rechtlich beraten.

   

  HIH Invest wurde von Ashurst (rechtliche Due Dilligence), CBRE (Commercial Due Dilligence) und Drees & Sommer (technische Aspekte) beraten.
