Logivest has arranged the first Berlin logistics location for Global Foods Trading GmbH, one of Europe’s leading distributors of Southeast Asian food products. The company has leased around 3,700 square metres at Wittestraße 38 in Reinickendorf. The property is owned by Prologis Germany Management GmbH.
Having previously operated from Frankfurt, Global Foods Trading is expanding its operations in Germany with the move to Berlin. The location in the north of the city offers direct access to the A111 motorway and the B96 federal highway, providing efficient transport links to wholesalers and restaurants across the capital.
The new facility was developed by Prologis with a strong focus on sustainability. It comes pre-equipped for a rooftop photovoltaic system, features an air heat pump, and provides charging stations for electric vehicles. Several ramps and a ground-level gate support smooth goods handling.
An additional requirement in the site search was alignment with feng shui principles. Global Foods Trading placed importance on goods being received from the north-east, consistent with Chinese traditions of harmony. Logivest tailored its property search accordingly.
“Berlin is a thriving logistics hotspot with very limited space available. To ensure short travel distances, we focused on identifying a central and well-connected location. The Reinickendorf property meets these needs and supports Global Foods Trading’s expansion strategy,” said Lucas Rauhut, Consultant Industrial and Logistics Letting at Logivest.
“The new space in Berlin is an important step for us in driving our growth forward and ensuring more efficient supply to our customers in the region,” added Manav Bhandari, Managing Director of Global Foods Trading GmbH.
The property has already been occupied.
