LIP Invest Acquires Logistics Property in Bramsche from DLH

LIP Invest, a leading provider of real estate special funds for institutional investors in the asset class of logistics properties in Germany, secures a logistics new building in Bramsche, In der Welle 14, directly from the project developer DLH Deutsche Logistik Holding for one of its logistics funds. BeMo Tuneling GmbH is acting as the general contractor.

(Munich/Bramsche) In the acquisition process, LIP was legally and tax-wise supported by LPA and in the ESG due diligence by ES EnviroSustain. Cushman & Wakefield took over the technical due diligence as well as construction controlling.

The completion of the new building project is planned for Q2 2022. The distribution center will have a total rental area of nearly 12,400 square meters with a hall height of 10 meters and a load-bearing capacity of 5 tons. Access will be provided via 10 loading docks and a ground-level access gate. There will be a separate entrance and exit for trucks and cars. The site will have 70 car parking spaces and 16 covered bicycle parking spaces, some of which will be equipped with e-charging stations. The property is also accessible by public transport.

The building will be constructed according to the KfW-55 standard, and the roof area will be fully equipped with a photovoltaic system with a capacity of 1,100 kilowatt peak. The electricity generated here will be used by the tenant Clinic & Job Dress. This enables a CO₂-neutral operation. The outdoor area will be attractively designed with natural plantings and resting areas for employees. A DGNB Gold certification is being pursued for the logistics center.

“We are pleased that with this project we can strengthen the economic location of Bramsche in the long term and sustainably. We wish both the new operator and our partner LIP much success and joy with the new property,” reports Felix Zilling, Managing Director of DLH.

Christoph Telker emphasizes: “For the future CO₂ reduction, the installed photovoltaic system on the roof and the increase in building standards support this. That everyone carries the idea of sustainability with this settlement is the right and forward-looking step, which unfortunately is still not a matter of course in the development of logistics properties. We would like to sincerely thank all project partners for the great teamwork so far and look forward to a successful final sprint.”

Long-term Lease Agreement with Regional Company

The medium-sized company Clinic & Job Dress from Osnabrück will use the distribution center as its new headquarters and therefore leases it long-term. The provider of workwear has an extensive product range that requires corresponding storage capacities. From the location in Bramsche, well-known customers from the healthcare, hospitality, and cleaning industries will be supplied with high-quality clothing items.

The logistics property will be built in the industrial and commercial area Eiker Esch, which is located between the A1 and A30 motorways. The nearest junction, one kilometer away, ensures quick access to Osnabrück to the south and Bremen to the north. The logistics region Münster/Osnabrück serves as a transshipment point between the North Sea and the Ruhr area.

First Property in the Münster/Osnabrück Region

“With this acquisition, we are acquiring our first property in the Münster/Osnabrück region. From Bramsche, a high population can be reached due to its location on the northern edge of North Rhine-Westphalia or the southern part of Lower Saxony. The location is therefore suitable for both extensive distribution and production-related logistics services. We are pleased to achieve further diversification of our fund with this high-quality new building in an attractive location,” says Sebastian Betz, Managing Director of LIP Invest.
