Goodman, a global leading owner, developer and manager of logistics real estate, is pleased to announce DB Schenker as a new customer into its logistics centre in Großbeeren, 12 km from Berlin city centre, occupying 10,500 sqm. In total, the Goodman logistics centre in the Berlin South Großbeeren freight village comprises 34,000 sqm, divided into four units. A further 9,000 sqm of high-quality logistics space is available for immediate lease in the facility. The Großbeeren scheme records high customer interest due to the scarcity of suitable properties in the region.

The new property in Großbeeren near Berlin, allows DB Schenker to further expand its distribution network and secure convenient transport access to the Berlin market. Following DB Schenker’s growth and requirement to consolidate the capacity of several locations centrally, the company needed a high-quality logistics site in the Berlin-Brandenburg region at short notice. Goodman was able to meet this demand with immediate provision of logistics space in Berlin South Großbeeren freight village. The new property serves DB Schenker as a multi-client warehouse for customers from the consumer and industrial goods sectors.
