Leipzig is one of the most dynamic logistics regions in Germany. With its multimodal connections the location offers optimal infrastructure for different industries. North, South and Western Germany are within easy reach along the A9 and A38 autobahns while the A14 links the Leipzig logistics centre directly with Leipzig/Halle airport. Germany’s second largest freight airport, Leipzig/Halle has a 24-hour flight operation licence, making it the fifth largest in Europe. A strong rail network saw the rail freight depot’s utilised capacity for 2016 total 120,000 container with the aim to double container handling capacity by the end of 2018.

Christof Prange, Head of Business Development at Goodman Germany, emphasizes: “As a logistics location, Leipzig and the whole surrounding region, including Halle an der Saale, have experienced strong growth due to its excellent infrastructure. We recognised this potential at an early stage and have been developing projects in the area since 2006. We continue to be active in this area as we are currently developing a 70,000 sqm logistics centre for home24 in the Star Park industrial zone in Halle. We also have an additional plot of 40,000 sqm we recently acquired for customers who wish to take advantage of what the area has to offer.”
