Garbe and Bremer welcome Hyundai Mobis as new tenant in Bitterfeld-Wolfen Logistics Center
The logistics center in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, a joint project by Garbe Industrial Real Estate GmbH and Bremer Projektentwicklung GmbH, has secured a major new tenant. Hyundai Mobis’ European branch, Mobis Parts Europe N.V., has leased approximately 23,700 square meters to handle spare parts logistics for Hyundai and KIA brands, marking another milestone in the center’s expansion.
The lease agreement includes 20,600 square meters of hall space, 1,700 square meters for mezzanine storage, and 1,400 square meters of office and social facilities. The facility, designed as a multi-user space, will see Mobis Parts Europe occupy around two-thirds of its total area. “We’re thrilled to bring another automotive tenant into this premium property,” said Maik Zeranski, Executive Board Member at Garbe Industrial Real Estate, noting that the site’s prime location and close proximity—just 14 kilometers—to Mobis’ Sandersdorf-Brehna facility were key factors in the decision.
The Bitterfeld-Wolfen logistics center, situated in the “Mitteldeutschland Technology Park,” comprises three units totaling 113,000 square meters on a sprawling 222,000 square meter site. Developed with the Quakernack group and Bremer Projektentwicklung GmbH, the center represents a €130 million investment. Currently, 82,000 square meters have been leased to a prominent German car manufacturer, with approximately 10,000 square meters still available. “We’re in final negotiations and expect to announce full occupancy soon,” said Bernd Jungholt, Managing Director of Bremer Projektentwicklung GmbH.
Strategically positioned near the Bitterfeld-Wolfen exit off the A9 motorway, the center has convenient links to major cities including Leipzig, Nuremberg, and Berlin. Sustainability is a priority, with a large photovoltaic system capable of generating 4.5 MW of renewable energy installed on the roof and air-source heat pumps replacing fossil fuel heating. The facility is also targeting Platinum certification from the German Sustainable Building Council.
