Garbe Industrial has acquired three new tenants for the multi-user park in Duisburg. A Chinese company will lease the entire logistics hall built there, while Annings Industrial Solutions and the Duisburg branch of industrial services provider Actemium will move into partial units in the newly created industrial park blocks.

“The current leasing successes confirm our decision to build in prime locations even without fixed rental commitments,” says Frank Soppa, Regional Manager Project Development West at Garbe Industrial. Garbe Industrial developed the multi-user park together with its joint venture partner Bremer Project Development. The building complex was constructed on the approximately 56,000-square-metre former “Zeus site” in the Meiderich district. With a large logistics hall and two industrial park blocks opposite, three modern structures with a total area of almost 29,500 square metres have been built on the redeveloped former steel industry site. “By revitalising the long unused brownfield site, we have upgraded the location for the long term and created new settlement potential for companies from the commercial and logistics sectors,” emphasises Frank Soppa. The two joint venture partners have together invested around 50 million euros in the development.

A lease agreement has now been signed with a Chinese company for the logistics hall on the site. It will use the entirety of the largest building in the multi-user park, which has a total area of around 14,000 square metres, to provide warehousing and logistics services. The lease was brokered by the estate agent Sinoah Immobilien from Düsseldorf.

Two tenants have opted for the new business park blocks. Annings Industrial Solutions, a company specialising in comprehensive solutions for transport between Europe and Asia, will move into a unit with approximately 1,800 square metres of space to provide freight forwarding and logistics services. “Duisburg is an important hub for transport between Asia and Europe, especially for rail freight along the New Silk Road,” says Shaoting Fan, Managing Director of Annings Industrial Solutions. “We already operate a hub for handling containers in the Port of Duisburg and organise groupage shipments there. With the space leased from Garbe Industrial, we are expanding our capacities on site.” The lease was brokered by the Duisburg-based real estate company Eureal Property Advisors.

The second tenant in the industrial park is the Duisburg branch of industrial services provider Actemium, which specialises in electrical, automation and IT technology for the entire life cycle of industrial plants. It will also occupy a total of around 1,800 square metres, including almost 1,400 square metres of hall space, which will be used for handling and storage and partly as workshop space for light assembly work.

In total, almost 14,500 square metres of hall and mezzanine space and 1,500 square metres of office space have been created in the two industrial park blocks. They can be subdivided into units of different sizes and leased as required. “We are in promising talks with interested parties for the logistics and commercial space that is still available,” says Frank Soppa.

The buildings in the multi-user park have a total of 26 dock levellers and eleven sectional doors at ground level. The outdoor area has parking spaces for 217 cars and ten trucks. Some of these are pre-equipped with electric charging points.

Garbe Industrial and Bremer Project Development placed particular emphasis on sustainability when building the multi-user park. To generate renewable energy, a photovoltaic system with 6,380 modules and a total peak output of 2.647 megawatts was installed on the roof areas. The properties will be heated using a heat pump system, which means that fossil fuels do not need to be used. Parts of the façade feature wooden cladding. Both joint venture partners aim to achieve certification for the properties according to the Gold standard of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

The multi-user park is located around three kilometres from the Port of Duisburg, the largest inland port in the world and one of the most important logistics hubs in Europe. The A 59 Dinslaken – Bonn motorway runs in the immediate vicinity. The Duisburg-Nord motorway junction, which links the A 59 with the A 42 Moers – Dortmund motorway, is only a few hundred metres away. The site is also connected to the A 2 motorway, one of the busiest east-west routes in Germany, via the A 42 and A 3.
