Savills Investment Management (Savills IM), the international real estate investment manager, has acquired a modern new logistics building in Bocholt, North Rhine-Westphalia, from Aconlog Projektentwicklung GmbH in Cologne on behalf of a southern German pension fund. The portfolio, which has been built up for the German pension fund since 2015, now comprises 14 properties in five European countries.
The recently completed logistics building is located in the Duisburg/Lower Rhine region – a major logistics hub in Germany. The site offers direct access to the A3 motorway, providing quick access to the Ruhr area, the Netherlands and the seaports of Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Antwerp (Belgium).
The property has around 26,500 square metres of rental space and is fully let on a long-term lease to logistics service provider WM Group. The building consists of three interconnected units, which could also be used separately if required, offering a high degree of third-party usability. The property, built on a former industrial site, has strong sustainability credentials, with high energy efficiency and the use of heat pumps and LED lighting. There are also plans to install a photovoltaic system on the roof, which will enable operational carbon neutrality. DGNB Gold certification is being targeted and there are 28 EV charging stations and 34 bicycle parking spaces.
