Trammell Crow Company (TCC) has started construction on a new speculative industrial development in Kerpen, located in Germany’s Rhine-Ruhr region. The project is being developed in partnership with Cain International and is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2026. The site, situated on Hüttenstraße approximately 23 kilometres west of Cologne, will feature two logistics buildings with a total area of 28,117 square metres. This includes 23,258 square metres of warehouse and production space, 3,129 square metres of mezzanine, and 1,730 square metres of office space. The facilities are being built on a 46,202 square metre brownfield plot and are being designed to meet modern operational and environmental standards, with both buildings aiming to achieve BREEAM Excellent certification. The location offers direct access to the A4 motorway and is also near the A1 and A3, providing strong transport connectivity across Germany and to international destinations. The development is within reach of major transport hubs, including Cologne Bonn Airport, the Port of Cologne-Niehl, and the European seaports of Rotterdam and Antwerp. It also benefits from accessibility to cargo airports in Liège and Frankfurt. The project is part of the Hüttenstraße industrial zone, an established business area that includes both multinational companies and smaller enterprises. Public transport connections are available nearby, with a bus stop adjacent to the site and a train station 2.3 kilometres away. Construction began in March 2025, and early access to the premises can be arranged by agreement. CBRE is serving as the lead leasing agent.
