LIP Invest has acquired a transshipment logistics property in Thiendorf, near Dresden, for the LIP Real Estate Investment Fund – Logistics Real Estate V, which is managed by INTREAL. The asset was purchased off market from the Bremen-based developer and investor Peper & Söhne.
The transaction was supported by REIUS (legal advice), Forvis Mazars (tax advice), Mocuntia (technical due diligence) and Enviro Sustain (ESG due diligence).
The property, completed in 2024, provides approximately 11,400 sq m of total lettable area, including around 9,000 sq m of warehouse space. It is designed for high-throughput logistics operations, with loading access on all four sides via 83 dock levellers, one ground-level gate and 16 sectional gates for vans.
The building meets current construction and sustainability standards. A photovoltaic system is installed on the warehouse roof, while the associated office, gatehouse and technical annex feature green roofs. The property is equipped with building automation systems, offers charging infrastructure for cars, vans, trucks and bicycles, and has been awarded DGNB Gold certification.
The property is fully leased on a long-term basis to Hermes Germany GmbH, which operates the facility as a regional transshipment depot. The site has created around 90 new jobs and is equipped with a sorting system capable of handling more than 200,000 parcels per day. Approval for 24/7 operations allows for continuous parcel processing.
The logistics facility is located in Thiendorf, north of Dresden, within the region often referred to as “Silicon Saxony”. The site benefits from direct access to the A13 motorway towards Berlin and the A4 east–west corridor, positioning it as a distribution hub for eastern Germany and neighbouring Central and Eastern European markets. Additional transport options are supported by proximity to Dresden Airport, the local freight village (GVZ) and the Port of Dresden.
