Bitterfeld-Wolfen/Hamburg, 14 November 2024 – The logistics centre of Garbe Industrial Real Estate GmbH and Bremer Projektentwicklung GmbH in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, around 30 kilometres north of Leipzig, Germany, continues to fill up. The joint venture has signed a lease with Mobis Parts Europe N.V., the European branch of the Korean automotive supplier Hyundai Mobis, for a total area of around 23,700 square metres. The company will take over spare parts logistics for the Hyundai and KIA brands in Bitterfeld-Wolfen.

The lease covers 20,600 square metres of hall space, 1,700 square metres of storage mezzanine and 1,400 square metres of office and social space. The new building was designed as a so-called multi-user object. Mobis Parts Europe will utilise around two thirds of the space. “We are delighted to have found in Mobis another tenant from the automotive sector for our premium property,” emphasises Maik Zeranski, Member of the Executive Board of Garbe Industrial Real Estate. The decisive factors for the leasing, in addition to the immediate availability, were the convenient location and the proximity to the Mobis site in Sandersdorf-Brehna, which is just 14 kilometres away.

In total, the logistics centre in Bitterfeld-Wolfen consists of three units with a total area of 113,000 square metres. They were built as part of a joint venture with the Quakernack group of companies and Bremer Projektentwicklung GmbH on a 222,000 square metre site in the “Mitteldeutschland Technology Park”. The total investment volume is around 130 million euros.

82,000 square metres of hall space have already been leased to a well-known German car manufacturer. Around 10,000 square metres with ten dock levellers and a sectional door at ground level for loading and unloading trucks are currently still available. “We are in final lease negotiations for this warehouse unit and are confident that we will be able to report full occupancy in the near future,” explains Bernd Jungholt, Managing Director of Bremer Projektentwicklung GmbH.

The logistics centre is located just a few hundred metres from the Bitterfeld-Wolfen motorway exit, in view of the A 9. It connects the site with Leipzig, Nuremberg and Munich to the south and the Greater Berlin area to the north.

A large-scale photovoltaic system with a peak output of 4.5 megawatts was installed on the roof to generate renewable energy. The halls are heated using air source heat pumps, thus avoiding the use of fossil fuels. The property is to be certified according to the Platinum Standard of the German Sustainable Building Council.

The Leipzig office of real estate agents Jones Lang LaSalle brokered the lease. The law firm Norton Rose Fulbright LLP provided legal advice to the landlord, while the property law firm Voigtmann Legal advised the tenant.
