DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG has achieved another success in the repositioning of the LogPark in Leipzig. On the site of the former Quelle logistics centre between the city centre and Leipzig Airport, a new distribution centre with approximately 26,000m² of usable space plus parking slots will be built for Amazon by autumn 2022. Amazon will exclusively lease the energy-efficient building, planned to become KFW-55 standard, for 15 years.
The existing lease with the online distributor in the LogPark for 20,000m² storage space from 2020 will also be extended by 15 years and integrated into the project. Amazon already operates a modular distribution centre on the site and plans to build parking spaces with charging stations for its electric delivery vehicles. In addition, a separate access concept and an employee parking garage will be realised for Amazon's use on the site, which has a total area of almost 340,000m². Taking into account the contract with Amazon, the occupancy rate has risen to around 92%, with a WALT of around 6.1 years.
Ingo Hartlief, CEO of DEMIRE, commented: "We are pleased to further expand and consolidate our successful partnership with Amazon. I am also pleased that the former Quelle high-bay warehouse is now giving way to a modern and energy-efficient distribution centre. This enhances the entire LogPark considerably and consistently continues our repositioning effort of the site."
