Garbe Industrial Real Estate has held a topping-out ceremony for its business park development in Holzgerlingen, near Stuttgart, approximately six months after construction began. The project, located in the Buch industrial estate, is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2026.
The scheme comprises two buildings with a total area of around 16,600 sq m, including approximately 14,300 sq m of warehouse space. Additional space includes about 560 sq m for offices and social areas, along with roughly 1,700 sq m of mezzanine levels intended for storage. The development will provide 12 dock levellers, seven ground-level loading doors and 124 parking spaces.
Warehouse units can be subdivided from approximately 1,300 sq m, with a floor load capacity of six tonnes per square metre. The buildings are expected to meet the BEG-40 energy efficiency standard and will not rely on fossil fuels for heating, instead using air-to-air heat pumps. A rooftop photovoltaic system with a planned capacity of around 1.2 MW is also предусмотрено. The developer is targeting DGNB Gold certification.
The business park forms part of the third phase of a wider development on a site of approximately 100,000 sq m, which Garbe Industrial acquired in 2021. Earlier phases, including an existing building and a new property completed in 2023, have already been leased.
According to Ioannis Delakos, the project supports the continued development of the Buch industrial estate and strengthens the local business environment. Discussions with potential tenants are ongoing.
Holzgerlingen is located south-west of Böblingen within the Stuttgart metropolitan region, with access to the A8 and A81 motorways via the B464. The location provides connections to Karlsruhe, Stuttgart Airport, Ulm and Munich, and is served by nearby public transport links.
