International Industrial Properties (IIProp), a logistics platform owned by Madison International Realty and Griffin Capital Partners, has sold a single-let logistics property in Bensheim, Germany.
The warehouse park, purchased by UBS Real Estate GmbH, has been fully leased to MSK Pharmalogistic GmbH.
The asset’s GLA amounts to 10,600 sqm. It is strategically located in an established commercial and industrial area and is in close proximity to the A5 and A67 highways, providing ideal connections to both Mannheim and Frankfurt, and to the Mannheim City Airport.
Maciej Dyjas, Co-owner and Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners, says: “Over the past few months, we have been increasing our activity in Germany. This market is extremely attractive to us, not only in terms of logistics properties, but also on account of the residential and office space here. A few weeks ago, we sold a logistics asset in Neuenburg am Rhein, a city in the Baden-Württemberg region. Now we close this deal with UBS Real Estate GmbH with another successful transaction, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our business strategy, generating consistent profits.”
The asset is seeking DGNB Gold Standard certification. It is equipped with a photovoltaic system for low-emission energy supply and features an extensive green roof. Charging stations for electric vehicles have also been installed in the building.
The Park in Bensheim is fully leased to MSK Pharmalogistic GmbH, a family-run full-service pharmaceutical provider offering services in various business areas of the pharmaceutical industry. The site is used as a certified logistics centre for the warehousing and handling of pharmaceuticals and medical products.
Nebil Senman, Co-owner and Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners, says: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved in this transaction, which further consolidates our already strong position in the international logistics market. Thanks to our cooperation with Madison, we were able to put together an exceptional investment tailored to the needs of a leader in the pharmaceutical market. Our business model, based on cooperation between Griffin Capital Partners and our partners, has once again delivered great results, and we are not stopping there.”
Diana Shieh, Managing Director at Madison International Realty, adds: “I am thrilled to see that our partnership with Griffin Capital Partners continues to deliver high-quality logistics assets. We believe Europe remains an attractive market and through strong partnerships, we expect to see additional successful transactions in the future.”
In May this year, IIProp sold a single-let logistics property in Neuenburg am Rhein, a city in the Baden-Württemberg region. This was the IIProp’s second transaction in Germany, following its first portfolio sale in June 2022. Prior to that, a joint venture of Madison International Realty and Griffin Capital Partners divested two built-to-suit projects to a worldwide leader from the e-commerce sector.
