The company states that its focus will be on operational efficiency and long-term cooperation with tenants across the lifecycle of its properties.
Ohly said that he intends to focus on expanding 7R’s presence in Germany and highlighted the company’s approach to ESG standards and a range of logistics formats, from large distribution facilities to urban logistics parks.
