Garbe Industrial Real Estate GmbH has marked a construction milestone at its logistics development in Dissen am Teutoburger Wald, in Germany’s Osnabrück district. Just weeks after breaking ground, the first load-bearing elements have been installed at the site, which will eventually host a logistics property covering approximately 19,500 square metres. Completion is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025. The project is taking shape on a 32,000-square-metre site in Dissen’s Westring industrial estate, where an older refrigerated logistics facility previously stood. The new structure includes around 17,200 square metres of hall space, 1,700 square metres of mezzanine storage, and 600 square metres allocated for social areas. The design incorporates elements of New Work office concepts, with attention given to creating a functional and comfortable working environment. The facility is designed as a multi-user building intended for tenants requiring space for storing consumer goods. It features 17 dock levellers and two ground-level sectional doors to facilitate truck loading and unloading. Five truck parking spaces and 49 car parking spaces will be available, with provisions for future electric vehicle charging points. The project is being built according to extended ESG standards, part of a voluntary sustainability commitment by Garbe. A photovoltaic system will be installed across the roof, and the building will be heated with air-source heat pumps to eliminate reliance on fossil fuels. Landscaping will be integrated to support local biodiversity, and the building’s façade will include a green strip and wooden features intended to help the structure visually blend into the surroundings. The company is targeting a Gold Standard certification from the German Sustainable Building Council. Located close to the A33 motorway, the site offers direct access to Osnabrück to the northwest and Bielefeld to the southeast. It is reachable via the Dissen/Bad Rothenfelde and Dissen-Süd motorway junctions within minutes. The project has already drawn interest from prospective tenants, particularly from the surrounding area. Dissen’s mayor, Eugen Görlitz, welcomed the development, citing the potential for local economic benefits and noting the strategic value of well-connected commercial space in non-urban regions.
