LIP Invest has completed the acquisition of a new 31,000 m² logistics property on Bergener Straße 9 in Bremen, marking the first purchase for its “LIP Real Estate Investment Fund – Logistics Germany V.” The building, developed by Peper & Söhne, was acquired off-market, with financing provided by Sparkasse Bremen AG, which supported both the project development and the acquisition.
The property, completed at the end of 2024, represents a new generation of sustainable, flexible logistics facilities. It holds DGNB Platinum certification and is designed for third-party usability, allowing for conversion between production and distribution uses. The site includes 13 ground-level loading gates, one ramp gate, and provision for additional ramp access if required.
Two companies have signed long-term leases: Große-Vehne, a logistics specialist serving the automotive industry, and OPmobility, an automotive supplier focused on vehicle front-end modules. Both tenants will operate supply-chain services for Mercedes-Benz, whose main European plant is located approximately seven kilometres from the site. The property’s proximity to the A1 motorway and Bremen’s port and freight facilities offers further logistical advantages.
LIP Invest Managing Partner Sebastian Betz said the acquisition underscores the importance of long-term partnerships and reliable financing in a changing market environment. “Securing this property early for our new fund was possible thanks to the trust and continuity among all parties involved,” he noted.
Christoph Peper, Managing Partner of Peper & Söhne, emphasised the project’s sustainability credentials, describing it as an example of “modern production logistics — flexible, future-proof, and built to the highest environmental standards.”
The facility incorporates a fossil-free heating system using an air-to-water heat pump, underfloor heating, photovoltaic panels, green façades, and e-charging infrastructure. Green lease clauses have also been included in tenant agreements.
Advisers to the transaction included REIUS (legal), Forvis Mazars (tax), Mocuntia (technical), and Enviro Sustain (ESG). The general contractor was Goldbeck Nord.
This acquisition expands LIP Invest’s logistics footprint in northern Germany and establishes the foundation for its fifth logistics-focused investment vehicle targeting institutional investors.
