Garbe Industrial Real Estate together with the general contractor Bremer AG has begun construction of a new distribution centre in Emden, Lower Saxony/Germany, for the online retailer Amazon. The logistics property is being built on a 30,500m² site on the Frisia Industrial and Commercial Campus.
"The distribution centre is planned with a hall area of around 4,700m² and will be equipped with seven van loading gates and five ground-level gates. So, a typical last-mile property," explained Jan Dietrich Hempel, managing director of Garbe Industrial Real Estate.
In addition, parking spaces for 74 cars and 224 vans will be created on the site. The new building is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2021. Jan Dietrich Hempel said: "In total, we are investing around €13m in project development. In the field of e-commerce and online trading, we can cover the entire range of logistics properties required."
In addition to smaller dispatch locations, so-called cross docks, these also include classic picking centres, redistribution warehouses or hybrid properties for B2B and B2C business. The tenant, Amazon, is expected to deliver the first packages from the distribution centre for end customers in spring 2021. Deliveries are supported by the distribution centre’s excellent location and transport connections. This means that the connections to the Autobahn 31 and the B210 federal road can be reached in just five minutes.
