In a significant logistics deal, Logivest, the leading real estate consultancy specializing in logistics, has brokered a long-term lease for Westar Internationale Spedition GmbH, a medium-sized international freight company. The company will take over a cross-dock warehouse covering approximately 5,000 square metres, alongside an additional 5,000 square metres of open space in Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia.
The property, located at Hölker Feld 42, is owned by freight forwarder Nüllig & Haß oHG, which manages several facilities in the industrial zone. The new space is set to accommodate Westar’s expanding order volumes as it aims to optimize its operations near its headquarters in Remscheid, just 10 kilometres away.
The newly leased facility features over 30 covered ramps, facilitating efficient goods transshipment. It also boasts a large open area, ideal for manoeuvring, parking, and storage, offering the company flexibility as it scales up operations.
Strategically located in the heart of the Bergisches Land region, the Wuppertal property enjoys excellent connectivity to key motorways, including the A1, A43, and A46, linking it seamlessly to the Rhineland and the Ruhr area. The site is also easily accessible by public transport, ensuring convenience for employees.
“This region’s topography offers limited availability for new logistics spaces, making cross-dock warehouses of this size particularly scarce,” said Ilias Krause, Consultant Industrial & Logistics Letting at Logivest NRW GmbH. “This lease highlights our expertise in finding optimal solutions in challenging markets.”
Jürgen Ott and Sebastian Nickel-Eberle, managing directors of Westar Internationale Spedition GmbH, expressed their excitement over the new acquisition: “Securing this facility marks a significant milestone for Westar. The cross-dock warehouse provides us with ideal conditions to meet growing customer demands and continue our expansion in a future-focused manner. We’re proud to strengthen our presence in the Bergisches Land region with this investment.”
Westar is scheduled to move into the Wuppertal facility on 1 January 2025, solidifying its operational base in the region for the foreseeable future.
