In the industrial and logistics sectors, Hamburg ranks among the leading locations in Europe: with one of the world’s largest transshipment ports for inland and overseas trade, an international airport, and a central location in northern Germany, the Hanseatic city fully deserves its nickname “Gateway to the World.” Thanks to excellent transport infrastructure by water, road, air, and rail, the conditions for transport and production companies in Hamburg are ideal – whether in Billbrook/Rothenburgsort, the largest contiguous industrial area in northern Germany, or in one of the other promising locations in the Hamburg metropolitan area.

From entrepreneurial SMEs to international market leaders such as Otto, Hapag-Lloyd, or Aurubis, numerous companies have already recognized the enormous potential of establishing a local branch. Engel & Völkers Commercial Hamburg aims to support you in leasing or selling your warehouse or industrial property under current market conditions. Our qualified team is also available to assist you when buying or renting such commercial properties.

Current dynamics in the industrial and logistics sector summarized

The requirements for the optimal commercial property have changed significantly in recent years, depending on the industry. In particular, the continuously growing market share of e-commerce requires ongoing expansions of logistics capacities, which at the same time should be adaptable to short-term market fluctuations whenever possible. As a result, contracts with short terms or flexible modification clauses are currently particularly advantageous. Modular warehouses and production facilities, whose capacities can be expanded or repurposed at short notice, also meet the current requirements of many companies. This leads to improved cost efficiency and smoothly running processes, even under volatile order volumes and transport conditions.

Energy efficiency has also become an indispensable factor in a holistic location strategy. Contemporary warehouses and similar properties, for example, are equipped with photovoltaic systems, energy-efficient building electronics, and specialized equipment – for instance, in cooling or specialized atmospheric storage. Another trend that modern industrial and logistics facilities must meet is the increasing demand for customizable products. Manufacturing systems must not only be properly dimensioned; on-demand production also requires quickly adaptable storage capacities and reliable supply of intermediate and precursor products.

Whether new construction or existing warehouse, logistics or production: our team at Engel & Völkers Commercial Hamburg acts as your expert local partner, helping you create the best conditions for selling or leasing your commercial property in the current market. Contact us today.
