Garbe rents logistics hall in Wildeck to K+S

Garbe Industrial Real Estate GmbH is expanding its collaboration with the mining and fertilizer company K+S. In Wildeck, North Hesse (Hersfeld-Rotenburg district), the Hamburg-based project developer has long-term leased another logistics hall with a total area of approximately 7,200 square meters to the leading provider of mineral products for agriculture, industry, and consumers.

(Hamburg/Wildeck) A year ago, K+S moved into a unit with a total area of around 10,000 square meters. The company operates the Werra plant nearby with several mining operations and potash factories and uses the halls in Wildeck for its storage and logistics activities. “The short distance to our Werra plant and the very good suitability of the property were decisive for us to settle in Wildeck and now to expand,” emphasizes Guido Kamm, Head of Warehouse Management & intraLogistics at K+S.

The logistics center, consisting of two hall sections, is located on a plot of approximately 32,000 square meters in the industrial area “Im Mackenrothschen Garten,” in the middle of one of the most important logistics regions in Germany. The A 4 runs in close proximity, connecting the site eastward with Erfurt and Dresden, as well as westward with Bad Hersfeld and the Kirchheimer Dreieck. There, there is access to the A 7, one of the most significant north-south axes in Germany. The A-4 interchange Wildeck-Hönebach is 600 meters away from the logistics center.

Garbe Industrial Real Estate acquired the property in 2022. It was built according to modern ecological standards. For the generation of renewable energy, for example, there is a photovoltaic system on the roof with a capacity of approximately 1.6 megawatts peak. The building is certified according to the Gold Standard of the German Sustainable Building Council. For loading and unloading trucks, the property is equipped with a total of 15 loading docks and two ground-level sectional doors. There are parking spaces for 61 cars and three trucks available on the outdoor area.

Joy over the trust

“We are pleased about the trust that K+S has shown us by renting the second hall,” says Anna Fuchs, Asset Manager at Garbe Industrial Real Estate: “With this further contract, we have achieved full occupancy in our property in Wildeck.”
