Garbe Industrial Real Estate GmbH is set to break ground on a new 19,500-square-metre logistics facility in Dissen am Teutoburger Wald (Osnabrück district, Lower Saxony). With planning permission now secured, construction is due to begin shortly, and completion is slated for the third quarter of 2025.
The new development will cater to multiple tenants, ensuring flexibility and efficient use of space. It will feature approximately 17,200 square metres of hall area, 1,700 square metres of warehouse space, and 600 square metres dedicated to social areas and a New Work-style office concept. This design approach aims to provide employees with a comfortable, forward-thinking workplace environment.
“By designing the new building as a multi-user facility, we can offer segmented leasing options that accommodate various companies under one roof,” said Maik Zeranski, Member of the Executive Board of Garbe Industrial Real Estate.
The project site, spanning 32,000 square metres, formerly housed an outdated refrigerated logistics center. Garbe Industrial Real Estate has overseen its careful dismantling, ensuring materials are recycled and repurposed for the new structure. The upcoming facility will meet GEG-40 building standards, significantly improving energy efficiency and upgrading the location’s overall sustainability profile.
Environmental stewardship is integral to the development. Plans include a resource-saving construction process that minimizes carbon emissions, use of an air-source heat pump system to avoid fossil fuels, and the integration of a photovoltaic installation to generate renewable energy on-site. Pre-installed infrastructure will support electric vehicle charging, and a tailored greening concept—including a wooden façade and a discreet green strip—will enhance local biodiversity. Garbe aims to achieve DGNB Gold Standard certification, underscoring the project’s commitment to ESG principles.
Equipped with 17 dock levellers and two ground-level sectional doors, the new facility will efficiently handle a wide range of goods. Parking areas will accommodate five trucks and 49 cars, ensuring smooth logistics operations.
Garbe Industrial Real Estate is targeting tenants from the consumer goods sector, among others, and has begun preliminary discussions with regional companies.
“Our emphasis on working with local businesses underscores our commitment to supporting the regional economy,” added Zeranski.
Located along the A33 motorway between Osnabrück-Süd and Bielefeld, the property offers excellent transport links. The Dissen/Bad Rothenfelde and Dissen-Süd slip roads—both approximately two kilometers away—provide quick access to main arterial routes, making the site an attractive hub for distribution and commerce.
By integrating sustainability, flexible design, and regional partnerships, Garbe Industrial Real Estate’s new logistics center in Dissen am Teutoburger Wald represents a forward-looking model for the industry. With construction set to begin soon, the project is poised to reshape the regional logistics landscape and set a benchmark for environmentally conscious development.
