Germany Garbe leases in Werne

Lecangs operates over 500,000 sqm of warehouse space worldwide and processes more than 5.5 mln parcels annually.

This significant leasing success proves once again that high-quality logistics space remains in demand, even in a difficult market environment.

At the beginning of 2022, the Hamburg-based project developer created new construction areas with a total size of more than 123,000 sqm on the 295,000 sqm site in the Wahrbrink industrial estate. Around a third of this is leased to a logistics service provider. It has recently almost doubled its capacity in Werne by renting additional units. The remaining new-build space will be used by another e-commerce company.

Both new buildings are certified to the Gold Standard of the German Sustainable Building Council. A photovoltaic system with a peak output of 4.8 megawatts is installed on the warehouse roofs to generate renewable energy.

Garbe took over the former Ikea logistics site in 2018 and then redeveloped it extensively. The site is located in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region directly on federal highway 54, just a few kilometres from the A1 and A2 motorways connecting Hamburg with Cologne and Berlin with the Ruhr region.
