Hines Global REIT now owns an industrial portfolio of around 4.9 million square feet in the Central-European country.<\/p>\n<p>The logistics facility offers about 952,539 square feet of warehouse space and is currently fully leased out to the Fiege Group for the next decade. The property was completed in 1995, with the express intention of expanding the company\u2019s retail operations, and is currently one of the most up-to-date facilities that the company inhabits. The buyer was provided with debt financing for the acquisition by Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Senior Managing Director of Hines Germany, Christoph Reschke, one of the main reasons that prompted the investment is the current strength of the country\u2019s overall real estate market. \u201cThis property has particular appeal due to its strong tenancy, location in the central hub of Erfurt, and nearby access to public transportation, highways A4, A71 and A9, as well as numerous railways\u201d Reschke said in a press statement.<\/p>\n<p>The solid nature of the country\u2019s current real estate market was also widely discussed during this year\u2019s EXPO Real trade fair in Munich, with Germany\u2019s Big Five markets currently the only ones to keep up with London and to some extent, Paris. The overall logistics market has been going well in Germany, a Logistics Market Report issued by BNP Paribas Real Estate revealed. The study indicated that investment in the industrial sector in the country had been second only to the booming U.K. market, the volume of investment in these countries greatly outpacing other good markets such as France, Sweden, Norway and The Netherlands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International real estate company Hines has completed one of the largest logistics transactions to take place in central Europe by acquiring the Fiege Mega Centre is a single-tenant e-commerce logistics property located in Erfurt, Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":237,"featured_media":1004086877,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21748,16,21783,21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004086873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industrial","category-international","category-investment","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
