Panattoni future-proof: Increasing relevance of logistics real estate offers investment opportunities

Modern industrial and logistics properties are becoming increasingly important as a central infrastructure for supply chains, e-commerce and the digital economy. Against this backdrop, Panattoni, the world's largest owner-managed developer of logistics, industrial and commercial real estate, sees itself as future-proof. The pan-European orientation also results in a wide range of potential for further high-quality, sustainably oriented assets.

Industrial and logistics real estate has evolved from pure warehouse locations to a highly developed infrastructure with automation, digital technologies and, increasingly, AI-powered applications. With the growth of e-commerce, data centers and data-intensive services, the need for technically powerful logistics space that meets the constantly growing requirements is increasing.  They offer flexibility, security and efficiency in global supply chains. Demand is not determined by short-term cycles, but by long-term, technologically and structurally driven developments.

Structural alignment with the needs of the user

Thanks to its owner-managed structure, Panattoni is able to react quickly to market changes as well as the requirements of users and investors and to implement projects in different markets. This structure allows different investment models to be served and to operate independently of individual sources of capital. As a full-service developer, Panattoni accompanies its customers along the entire value chain – from the search for land to planning, financing and construction to long-term management – thus enabling a consistently high level of quality as well as a strong focus on the needs of the users: reliability, flexibility, speed and on-time provision. The spectrum covers the entire field of industrial logistics including last-mile hubs, national distribution, cold storage, production-related facilities and specialized infrastructure such as data centers. To meet the growing demand for AI-enabled, energy- and data-demanding properties, Panattoni has set up its own specialized unit for the data center sector.

Robert Dobrzycki, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Owner of Panattoni, says: "Logistics real estate has become central elements of the modern economy. The demand for high-quality, technologically sophisticated buildings continues to grow in all our markets. We are constantly expanding our platform in Europe and the UK to deliver the next generation of sustainable, high-performance real estate for resilient and competitive supply chains."

"We are seeing that product availability, supply chain stability and digital infrastructure are becoming increasingly interlinked. Modern logistics, industrial and commercial properties play a key role in this. It is crucial that we create areas that are technologically sustainable, can be used flexibly and are sustainable in their impact. At the same time, we work closely with the municipalities to develop projects in such a way that they benefit regional companies, create new jobs and strengthen the economic area in the long term," adds Fred-Markus Bohne, Managing Partner Panattoni DACH and Nordics.
