CTP, Europe's largest listed owner, developer and manager of logistics and industrial real estate, announces the letting of its logistics property in Oschersleben, Saxony-Anhalt, to WP Holding GmbH, based in Zwickau, Saxony. WP develops and realises integrated logistics solutions combining forwarding, logistics and process consulting services. As a full-service logistics provider with more than 1,000 employees, the company offers customers intelligent and customised solutions for all logistics tasks.

The company is moving into 15,000 m² of logistics and service space with around 320 m² of office and social space and will carry out the global spare parts warehousing business for a well-known, internationally active commercial vehicle manufacturer from the site. Around 40 employees will be working for WP in Oschersleben to carry out the repackaging of spare parts. After goods receipt, some spare parts will be repackaged in wooden crates that are specially manufactured at the site for this purpose. Due to existing space reserves, there is the possibility of a structural expansion of the site by a further 4,000 m² to 5,000 m² of floor space for an expansion for WP and the expansion of its services.

"By moving into the new space at the Oschersleben site, we can consistently expand our spare parts warehouse business at a location with an attractive location and connections and even have the option for further growth. In CTP, we have found an experienced partner who will breathe new life into the space and take our specific requirements into account," comments Carsten Schmidt, Managing Director of WP Logistik GmbH.

CTP had acquired the existing property from a logistics service provider and will transform the property into a modern and future-orientated logistics and service location as part of the letting to the new user. The tenant's stringent requirements will be taken into account, including preventive fire protection and the potential for sustainable energy generation. The installation of a PV system (photovoltaics) is currently under review, and the building is also to be fitted with modern insulation in accordance with the German Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV). The implementation of e-charging points is also planned, as the new user will transport spare parts using sustainable e-trucks. WP also intends to integrate a workshop for the disabled to build wooden crates at the site, thereby taking account of the social sustainability aspect. Other measures to modernise the site include retrofitting a sprinkler system with an external water tank.

"We are delighted to welcome an exciting tenant to Oschersleben, whom we are offering a new home. This demonstrates once again that we have a keen instinct for the needs of our customers and partners," says Marcus Breuer, Business Development Director at CTP Germany. "The fact that we are combining the project with the plan to modernise existing space is in line with our goal and aspiration to develop space in a sustainable and resource-efficient way. We would like to thank WP Logistik for their trust."

The move is scheduled for 1 January 2025, with operations set to go live in the third quarter of 2025.

Logivest supported the letting process as a holistic logistics property consultant: "With WP Holding, an established logistics service provider has settled in Oschersleben that is also planning for the long term in the region. The project once again emphasises the relevance of the region for the logistics sector," says Sven Setzekorn, Head of Industrial and Logistics Letting at Logivest in Magdeburg.
