London/Hanover, 14 January 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 10,400 sqm logistics and light industrial estate for refurbishment in Hanover, Germany, for an undisclosed price. This marks the fifth acquisition by the JV in Germany as part of its investment strategy to build a portfolio of sustainable last-mile logistics, warehouse, and light industrial assets in key locations in Germany and Portugal.
The Hanover property is situated in Hannover-Anderten/Misburg, the city’s prime industrial area, and benefits from excellent transport links and accessibility. The tram stop “Hannover Anderten-Misburg“ is located adjacent to the estate, while the A7 motorway can be reached within five minutes and the A2 in eight minutes, providing direct access to one of Germany’s major motorway intersections linking north–south and east–west routes. Hanover Central Station is a 20-minute drive away, and Hanover Airport 25 minutes away. The light industrial estate also benefits from close proximity to the ‘Hannover Messe’, one of the world’s largest trade fairs.
Plans for ESG-led refurbishment
The asset is located at „Zu den Mergelbrüchen 5 and 7“. It currently has an occupancy rate of 95% let to tenants in the logistics and distribution sectors, reflecting strong occupier demand and operational stability. The estate comprises 17,300 sqm of land with two buildings first completed in 1994 and 2005.
Patron Capital and INBRIGHT will undertake an ESG-led refurbishment to enhance the buildings sustainability, energy efficiency, and operational flexibility. Planned measures include the installation of a photovoltaic system, replacement of existing lighting with modern LED systems and targeted upgrades to improve overall building performance. A currently vacant high-bay storage area will be converted into flexible logistics, light industrial and storage space, enhancing the estate’s versatility to accommodate a broader range of occupiers.
The refurbishment works will target at least a BREEAM “Good” certification, supporting the JV’s strategy of delivering sustainable, future proofed logistics and light industrial assets in prime locations.
The acquisition represents the seventh asset acquired by the JV in Germany and Portugal. Previous assets acquired by the JV in Germany have been located in Cologne, Mainz, Hamburg, and Norderstedt, with further investments planned in strategically important industrial regions.
Christoph Ignaczak, Senior Partner and Investment Director at Patron Capital, said:
“The sustainable transformation of logistics-focused industrial assets in strategic German locations remains a high-conviction theme for Patron. We are pleased to announce this latest acquisition in Hanover and look forward to implementing our refurbishment plan, delivering sustainable flexible property that is fit for the future in this important logistics focused industrial cluster in northern Germany.”
Frederik Keller-Berndorff, Senior Transaction Manager of INBRIGHT Development GmbH, said: “From an operational perspective, Hanover is an ideal location for a lightindustrial refurbishment. The property’s excellent connectivity, combined with its strong existing tenant base, allows us to optimise both functionality and sustainability. This makes it a prime location for businesses seeking high-quality logistics and light industrial space.”
The transaction was brokered by Engel & Völkers, with legal counsel provided by GSK Stockmann.
