New distribution centre near Lake Constance
Garbe Industrial Real Estate is building a new distribution centre for Amazon in Messkirch (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). The 11,000 sqm logistics facility is scheduled for completion in autumn this year. The new property is being built on a site covering a total area of almost 83,000 sqm.
"We owe this opportunity to realise another project for Amazon so quickly in the area of last-mile logistics also to the uncomplicated and trusting cooperation with the town of Messkirch," says Jan Dietrich Hempel, managing director of Garbe Industrial Real Estate.
The new hub is planned with a hall area of around 9,600 sqm and around 1,500 sqm of office and social space. From these premises, Amazon will in future ship parcels delivered from its own logistics and sorting centres to its customers in the Lake Constance region as last-mile deliveries. The online retailer will also rely on cooperation with local independent delivery services. (mw)
