6 February 2025, Leipzig/Düsseldorf, Germany: VGP, a European owner, operator and developer of high-quality logistics and light industrial properties and provider of renewable energy solutions, has secured two tenants for Hall B, the first building of the new VGP Park Leipzig Airport. The logistics company De Boer Logistics GmbH will occupy 18,550 m² of warehouse and office space. A further 5,000 m² of production, warehouse and office space will be rented by Medisca, a provider of solutions for personalised medicine and the pharmaceutical supply chain. These spaces are customised to the needs of the tenants. The new building is now fully let. It is scheduled to be finalized in spring 2025.
The total of five planned buildings at VGP Park Leipzig Airport will offer flexible solutions for light industrial and logistics companies on up to 210,000 m² of lettable space from 1,500 m². They can also be adapted to tenants' specific requirements once construction is complete. In the future, over 1,000 new workplaces can be created there.
‘We are delighted to be opening our new 18,000 m² warehouse in Leipzig. In previous years, we have already used a nearby logistics centre operated by VGP. Now we are continuing our successful cooperation and have entered into a long-term partnership with VGP - both in the construction of the new property and in its management,’ says Mark de Boer, CEO of De Boer Logistics.
‘We appreciate the trust that De Boer Logistics has once again placed in us. At the same time, it is an important signal that Medisca has chosen VGP Park Leipzig Airport for its administrative and production site,’ says Darius Scheible, Managing Director of VGP Germany. ‘This shows how attractive our park is thanks to its flexible building solutions and excellent location in the immediate vicinity of Leipzig/Halle Airport.’
High standards for sustainability and energy efficiency
The rented Hall B will be constructed and certified in accordance with the recognised DGNB sustainability standard at ‘Gold’ level. This project is also aiming for the ‘EU Taxonomy New Build’ certificate.
The building's sustainable energy supply will be provided by rooftop PV systems and heat pumps. Smart metering systems will also be installed to measure electricity consumption digitally. Future employees will be able to use e-charging stations on the premises.
Ecological compensation areas
Ecological compensation areas have also been created: In the form of dry grassland within the municipality of Schkopau, an avenue of trees along the field path between Ermlitz and Röglitz and a strip of bushes along the residential area in Ermlitz.
The VGP Park is located just a few kilometres from Leipzig/Halle Airport, the fourth largest cargo airport in Europe. It is located on the outskirts of Schkopau in the district of Ermlitz on the B6 federal road between Großkugel and Schkeuditz, directly on the A9 motorway (Munich-Berlin).
The VGP Group is represented at 39 locations in Germany and is active in 17 European countries. The family-owned company has its headquarters in Antwerp, Belgium, and operates a total of 111 parks throughout Europe.
