GARBE Industrial is expanding its operations with the launch of GARBE Regeneration, a new subsidiary dedicated to identifying and redeveloping underutilised land. The new company will formally begin operations on 1 August 2025 and will focus on the revitalisation of brownfield sites, acquisition of development rights, and preparation of land for industrial, logistics, and commercial use. The initiative responds to a declining supply of newly zoned development land in Germany and increasing constraints on land availability. GARBE Regeneration is intended to support the reuse of land that has previously remained vacant or contaminated, bringing it back into productive economic use. The new entity will be jointly led by Maik Zeranski, currently a member of the GARBE Industrial management board responsible for development, and Rick Mädel, a specialist in brownfield redevelopment. Mädel brings over a decade of experience in the field and is the founder of Brownfield24 and chairman of the German Brownfield Association (DEBV). The management team also includes Adrian Zellner, GARBE Industrial’s Head of Business Development, who will continue in his current role while contributing to the new unit. GARBE Regeneration will initially concentrate on industrial, logistics, and commercial projects. According to Zeranski, the redevelopment of brownfield land requires complex technical, legal, and economic coordination that benefits from being handled within a dedicated structure. The spin-off will allow for a more systematic and effective approach to such projects. The company’s strategy is shaped by findings from GARBE Research, which indicate that in core logistics hubs like North Rhine-Westphalia, land development capacity may be fully exhausted by 2037. GARBE Regeneration is thus positioned as part of a broader effort to implement sustainable land use policies across Germany and Europe. Rick Mädel emphasised that the reuse of brownfield land is no longer a secondary strategy but an essential element of future real estate development. By focusing on regeneration rather than expansion, the company aims to support long-term regional sustainability.
