This demonstrates the ongoing suitability of the property for this fundamental part of their business and is a strong endorsement of the asset. It is an excellent result for our local asset management team on the ground, who work hard to look after our existing tenants.”

Rainer Koepke, Head of Industrial Real Estate, Germany, at Jones Lang LaSalle GmbH, who advised Valad Europe on the letting added: “Daimler’s extension of the lease in Ettlingen was one of the largest lease renewals in Germany in 2012 and demonstrates the confidence of the tenant in the location and the building. We are pleased to have been able, together with the Valad Europe team, to retain Daimler as a first class tenant in the large, strategic warehouse property.”
