SEGRO develops sustainable logistics centre in Mönchengladbach – pre-letting to GV Logistik completed
SEGRO has fully pre-let a new sustainable logistics centre in Mönchengladbach even before construction has begun
The approximately 26,300 square metre SEGRO Logistics Centre Mönchengladbach has already been fully pre-let to local family-owned company GV Logistik, which will move into the building in January 2027. With this project, SEGRO is underlining its role as a pioneer in sustainable and flexible logistics solutions.
Focus on sustainability: wooden structure and innovative technology
The new logistics centre will have a complete wooden structure – inspired by the successful SEGRO Logistics Centre Hamburg Neu Wulmstorf pilot project, which was completed in spring 2025. In addition to the timber structure, SEGRO is committed to other high sustainability standards, including a photovoltaic system to supply green electricity, an air heat pump, e-charging infrastructure for trucks and charging stations for 20 per cent of the 187 car parking spaces. The aim is to achieve DGNB Platinum Standard certification.
Optimal location and flexible usage options
The site at Krefelder Straße 690 boasts an excellent location near Mönchengladbach Airport and direct access to the A44 and A52 motorways. Its designation as an industrial area allows for 24/7 operation and offers future users maximum flexibility for hall, office and mezzanine space.
Project progress and schedule
SEGRO acquired the existing property, which dates back to the 1980s, in 2005. After the previous tenants moved out, SEGRO decided to demolish the outdated building and replace it with a modern new construction. Demolition work is already underway. Construction of the new logistics centre is scheduled to begin in March 2026, with completion planned for the end of the same year.
Dennis Franzen, Managing Director of GV Logistik, says:
"With the new location, we are laying the foundation for further growth and even more efficient handling of our processes. The good transport links and the flexible use of the space offer us optimal conditions for serving our customers reliably and over the long term."
Julian Kux, Director of Logistics at SEGRO Germany, adds:
"We are delighted that GV Logistik has chosen the SEGRO Logistics Centre Mönchengladbach as a flexible and sustainable location to continue its growth story. The feedback on our pilot project with solid wood structures in Hamburg Neu Wulmstorf has been consistently positive – both internally and from customers and partners across Europe. We are now applying the experience we gained from this project in Mönchengladbach. The more solid wood structures become established on the market, the more economical they become – which will further promote their widespread use."
Köster GmbH from Osnabrück is acting as the general contractor for SEGRO. The customer, GV Logistik, was referred by the estate agent Red Property.
