LIP Invest and Goldbeck Continue Collaboration

LIP Invest, provider of real estate special funds with a pure focus on logistics properties in Germany, continues its collaboration with Goldbeck Property Services. Recently, LIP acquired the first fund property for a new logistics real estate fund. In this context, Goldbeck has been entrusted with the comprehensive property management and support of the now fifth LIP fund.

(Munich) “We awarded the first mandate to Goldbeck Property Services in September 2018 for a distribution center of approximately 36,000 square meters in Braunschweig,” recalls Johannes Otti, Head of Commercial Asset Management. “Since then, the close collaboration has proven beneficial for both sides. We value Goldbeck as a reliable partner and are pleased to be able to rely on the property management team for the support of our new logistics fund as well.”

The asset management of LIP has steadily grown since the first mandate was awarded. Today, the management team consists of Alexander Decker, authorized signatory and Director of Asset Management, the commercial manager Johannes Otti, and the technical manager Alexander Eisfeld, who are supported by a dynamic team. With this strength and based on the trusting collaboration with Goldbeck, LIP can focus on the strategic asset management of its currently 63 properties, drive structural projects forward, optimize logistics properties with regard to ESG requirements, and consistently implement the internal leasing strategy.

This year, the asset management has negotiated and concluded eight new rental agreements in-house and leased a total of 300,000 square meters of logistics space. The primary goal of asset management is to manage logistics properties that meet the required standards in both quality and support. LIP manages a logistics real estate portfolio distributed across Germany in five funds. The properties range from distribution centers and production warehouses to refrigerated warehouses and transshipment halls. Goldbeck exclusively manages these logistics properties in technical and commercial property management. The long-standing partnership is continuously developed in a steady and equitable manner, just like the logistics properties.

Joy Over the New Mandate

“We are very pleased about the new mandate and the trust placed in us as a result. We will continue to support LIP with full energy and our proven expertise in property management of commercial assets, allowing them to focus on strategic asset management,” says Jan Majer-Leonhard, Managing Director of Goldbeck Property Services. “At Goldbeck, we see ourselves as lifecycle partners and rely on a collaborative partnership – together we can effectively achieve our goals and continuously develop the real estate portfolio.”
