Prologis develops property for wholesale company from the pharmaceutical industry in Berlin

Prologis is developing a bespoke, sustainable logistics property with 19,391 square metres of high-quality logistics and office space on an old industrial site in the Lichtenberg district in north-east Berlin. Prologis has already signed a long-term ten-year lease with a company from the wholesale sector for two units totalling 13,674 square metres. The remaining 5,717 square metres are still available.

Prologis acquired the developed property in 2021. Demolition work on the old buildings began in January and will soon be completed. Prologis recently received the building permit and plans to complete the new building in early 2025. "The realisation of the project in Berlin Lichtenberg is an important milestone for our growth in Germany," says Björn Thiemann, Senior Vice President, Regional Head Northern Europe at Prologis. "The city has great potential for the logistics industry in Europe. Our strategic focus on markets like Berlin is supported by a historically low supply of modern, sustainable real estate."

Prologis Park Berlin DC2 will be heated with heat pumps and without fossil fuels, in line with Prologis' strategy of increasingly developing gas-independent properties, so-called all-electric buildings. Future users will be able to obtain electricity from a 1.2 mW peak photovoltaic system on the roof. Prologis is aiming for DGNB platinum certification for the property. The property includes an elevated car park with a total of 140 parking spaces, all of which can be equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles. The ramp to the car park deck is also accessible for vans. The ramp gates for the lorries and vans are located below the parking deck.

"We are delighted to further strengthen our presence in the Berlin market with our second urban development project, including an innovative car park concept, and to support our client in its activities in the capital," says Vincent Lampe, Manager, Capital Deployment at Prologis. "The modern and innovative brownfield development is in line with our sustainability strategy and will minimise the environmental impact of operations."

The customer will benefit from the site's excellent location close to the A10 motorway and the B1 and B2 trunk roads. In line with Prologis' Parklife concept of offering people inside and outside the logistics parks more than just storage space, there will be green areas around the property for the customer's employees as well as a table tennis table and a pavilion for breaks. There will also be a station for bicycle maintenance and repair. Prologis will also plant around 45 trees on the site and green the noise barrier facing the neighbouring housing estate.
