Our total 2025 logistics sale volume amounted to € 500m across our European jurisdictions and marks our most successful year in terms of sales in the market. Germany remains one of Europe’s most resilient logistics markets, supported by structural demand from e‑commerce, industrial production and supply‑chain modernisation. Sarstedt is a standout location within the Hanover metropolitan region, offering exceptional connectivity and strong occupier fundamentals. We remain very interested in the acquisition of logistics developments or refurbishments in the risk spectrum from core to value add through JV´s or direct investments.”

Sarstedt benefits from exceptional transport connectivity and sustained occupier demand, which have driven consistent market liquidity even in a more selective investment environment. We are pleased to have executed this disposal in line with our business plan and to have delivered a positive outcome for our investors, in all core European markets including Germany.”
