Garbe Industrial Real Estate GmbH has signed a long-term lease with a renowned German vehicle manufacturer for a 12,400-square-meter logistics facility currently under construction in Ludwigsfelde, near Berlin. The site will be used for storing components for production, reinforcing the strategic importance of logistical connectivity in the region.
“We are proud to have secured such a prestigious tenant for our new facility before completion,” said Adrian Zellner, Member of the Executive Board at Garbe Industrial Real Estate. “This successful lease confirms that high-quality logistics properties in prime locations remain in demand, even in a challenging market environment.” The vehicle manufacturer will be the sole tenant of the building.
The new logistics facility, located in Industriepark Ost in Ludwigsfelde (Teltow-Fläming district, Brandenburg), is part of a joint venture portfolio between Garbe Industrial Real Estate and Brookfield, through its real estate solutions strategy. The 24,000-square-meter site sits 10 kilometers south of Berlin, with direct access to the A10 motorway (Berliner Ring) via B101, and is two kilometers from the Birkengrund regional train station, ensuring excellent transport connections.
Constructed by general contractor Fabrikon, the facility includes a 10,500-square-meter warehouse, along with 2,000 square meters of office and social space. Designed for efficient logistics operations, the building features twelve dock levellers, including two jumbo docks, and two ground-level sectional doors for truck loading and unloading. The outdoor area provides parking for ten cars and six trucks.
Committed to sustainable development, Garbe Industrial Real Estate has pre-equipped the facility’s roof for a one-megawatt peak photovoltaic system, contributing to renewable energy generation. The company is targeting Gold Standard certification from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB), reinforcing its dedication to environmentally responsible logistics solutions.
The lease was brokered by BNP Paribas Real Estate, while Hamburg-based law firm Trûon Rechtsanwälte provided legal counsel to Garbe Industrial Real Estate.
With this latest lease, Garbe strengthens its position as a key player in the German logistics real estate market, providing high-quality, strategically located facilities that meet the needs of leading industrial and manufacturing tenants.
