London/Berlin, 05 March 2026 – Patron Capital, the pan-European institutional investor focused on property-backed investments, and INBRIGHT, the specialist light industrial and logistics investor, developer, and asset manager, have acquired a 10,300 sq m GLA logistics and warehouse property south of Berlin in Germany for redevelopment. The asset was acquired from Logtrans Spedition, a subsidiary of the logistics business Schnellecke Group, for an undisclosed price.
The deal marks the sixth investment in Germany and the eighth overall as part of the joint venture (JV) between Patron and INBRIGHT that was created to build a portfolio of sustainability focused logistics, warehouse and distribution assets in well-connected industrial hubs in Germany and Portugal.
Prime Logistics Hub in the Berlin Metropolitan Area
Located on Rudolf-Diesel-Strasse 2 in Ludwigsfelde, a town south of Berlin, the asset comprises 9,100 sq m of logistics and warehouse space, 600 sq m of office and amenity for employees. and around 6,000 sq m of Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS) space.
Ludwigsfelde is situated within an established industrial and logistics hub that benefits from excellent access to the A10 Berlin ring road and the wider Berlin–Brandenburg metropolitan area. The property’s close proximity to highly populated Berlin ensures it is supported by strong fundamentals including robust occupier demand for last-mile logistics, distribution, and light manufacturing space to serve the city and surrounding region.
Plans for site upgrades and ESG-led repositioning
Plans to transform the asset into a Grade A sustainable last-mile-logistics and business park to accommodate a range of modern logistics, warehouse, and distribution occupiers are already underway. Schnellecke Group currently occupies the property, and will remain on site until early 2027 when significant refurbishment works will begin.
The asset could be configured as subdivided units of around 1,250 sq m or as a single logistics facility depending on occupier demand. New loading docks are also planned to support both ground-level and articulated truck access. Extensive external space will also provide areas for parking, storage, and has potential for development in the future. Energy efficiency will be enhanced with a new PV system and connection to district heating, replacing conventional fossil-fuel-based heating. New M&E services and upgrades to maintenance areas will further enhance the building’s performance and ensure it is futureproofed for the long term.
The JV has been active in Germany in recent years, acquiring assets to transform in key logistics and industrial locations in Cologne, Mainz, Hamburg, Norderstedt and Hanover. Further investments are planned, with the JV targeting properties with value add upside potential.
Christoph Ignaczak, Senior Partner and Investment Director at Patron Capital, said:
“Logistics and warehouse assets in key metropolitan regions remain a core focus for our investment strategy. The asset in Ludwigsfelde offers strong fundamentals, secure income and clear refurbishment led value creation potential. Together with INBRIGHT, we look forward to repositioning the property into a logistics park serving the Berlin region that’s fit for the future.”
Andreas Reich, Transaction Manager at INBRIGHT Development GmbH, added: “Ludwigsfelde is an excellent logistics location that benefits from sustained occupier demand. The combination of a short sale-and-leaseback structure with the current occupier and excellent redevelopment options with the possibility for further development means we can create a modern and sustainable facility that can meet the requirements of both today’s and tomorrow’s businesses.”
Landplus GmbH acted as service provider for environmental due diligence on the deal. KVL Group was responsible for technical due diligence.
