Summary
Redevco has completed the acquisition of a four-asset portfolio of transport-led logistics properties in Germany, marking a significant milestone in the expansion of its dedicated logistics investment platform. The portfolio comprises three truck service facilities located in Frechen, Hirschberg, and Langenhagen, along with a full-service truck stop in Malsfeld. All assets are fully occupied and strategically positioned near major German cities and critical transportation infrastructure corridors.
The transaction expands Redevco's logistics platform to approximately €1 billion ($1.16 billion) in assets under management across 32 total assets and 11.9 million square feet globally. The four German assets contribute 87,000 square meters of gross lettable area to this platform. According to Camila Malzkorn, head of transaction management for logistics DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) at Redevco, the acquisition aligns precisely with the firm's investment thesis: "This acquisition is exactly the kind of opportunity we are targeting as we scale Redevco's IOS logistics platform: well-located, transport-critical assets with strong occupier fundamentals and clear asset management potential."
The acquisition reinforces Germany's position as a cornerstone market for Redevco's logistics expansion strategy. The truck service facilities and full-service truck stop represent essential infrastructure for transport operations, offering exposure to resilient, logistics-corridor-dependent real estate with demonstrated occupancy strength. The strategic focus on transport-led assets—distinct from e-commerce-driven warehouse logistics—provides diversification within the logistics real estate segment and taps into the structural demand for truck service facilities and logistics hubs across continental Europe's primary transportation networks.
This transaction follows Redevco's broader geographic expansion in logistics, including recent acquisitions in Spain's Madrid and Barcelona markets. The firm's logistics platform now spans seven European countries, reflecting a deliberate strategy to build scale in transport-critical and logistics real estate while maintaining the quality and location characteristics that support stable, long-term occupier relationships and asset management value creation.
