CTP leases logistics property in Oschersleben to WP Holding

CTP, a publicly listed owner, developer, and manager of logistics and industrial properties, announces the leasing of its logistics property in Oschersleben, Saxony-Anhalt, to WP Holding GmbH based in Zwickau, Saxony. WP develops and implements integrated logistics solutions from combined freight forwarding, logistics, and process consulting services. As a full-service logistics provider with more than 1,000 employees, the company offers intelligent and tailored solutions for all logistical tasks.

(Berlin/Oschersleben) The company will occupy 15,000 m² of logistics and service space with approximately 320 m² of office and social space and will conduct the global spare parts warehouse business for a well-known, internationally operating commercial vehicle manufacturer from this location. Around 40 employees will work for WP in Oschersleben to handle the repackaging of spare parts. After the goods arrive, some spare parts will be repackaged into wooden crates, which will be manufactured on-site specifically for this purpose. Due to existing space reserves, there is the possibility for a structural expansion of the site by an additional 4,000 m² to 5,000 m² of usable space for WP’s expansion and the enhancement of its services.

“By occupying the new spaces at the Oschersleben site, we can consistently expand our spare parts warehouse business at a location with an attractive position and connection, and we even have the option for further growth. With CTP, we have found an experienced partner who breathes new life into the spaces while meeting our specific requirements,” comments Carsten Schmidt, Managing Director of WP Logistik GmbH.

Modern and future-oriented logistics location

CTP acquired the existing property from a logistics service provider and will transform the property into a modern and future-oriented logistics and service location as part of the leasing to the new user. The high demands of the tenant, including those related to preventive fire protection and sustainable energy generation options, will be taken into account. The installation of a PV system (photovoltaics) is currently under review, and the building is also set to receive modern insulation in accordance with the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV). The implementation of e-charging stations is also planned, as the new user will transport spare parts with sustainable electric trucks. WP also intends to integrate a workshop for disabled individuals for wooden crate construction at the site, thereby addressing the social sustainability aspect. Other modernization measures for the site include the retrofitting of a sprinkler system with an external water tank.

“We are pleased to welcome an exciting tenant in Oschersleben, to whom we can offer a new home. This once again demonstrates our keen sense for the needs of our customers and partners,” says Marcus Breuer, Business Development Director at CTP Germany. “Connecting the project with the intention to modernize existing spaces aligns with our goal and commitment to develop spaces sustainably and resource-efficiently. We thank WP Logistik for their trust.”

Occupancy planned for January 1, 2025

Occupancy is planned for January 1, 2025, with the go-live of operations expected in the third quarter of 2025. Logivest acted as a comprehensive logistics property advisor during the leasing process: “With WP Holding, an established logistics service provider has settled in Oschersleben, which also plans long-term in the region. The project once again underscores the relevance of the region for the logistics industry,” says Sven Setzekorn, Head of Industrial and Logistics Letting at Logivest in Magdeburg.
