MLP Group is strengthening its position in the German market, particularly in Brandenburg. The company is beginning construction of a new logistics park in Spreenhagen, marking its second project in the Berlin area. For the first time, MLP Group has appointed LIST Bau Bielefeld as the general contractor. According to plans, potential tenants will be able to start moving into MLP Spreenhagen by September 2025, with construction slated for completion in Q3 2025.
– Germany is our strategic direction for expansion. It’s the largest market in Europe with immense growth potential. Recently, we successfully launched our first green bond offering, raising €300 million. A significant portion of the funds will be allocated to further development in this country. Spreenhagen is our fifth project in the German market, with more in the pipeline – emphasized Radosław T. Krochta, CEO at MLP Group S.A.
The project will provide a total of 39,000 sqm of modern space, including 33,800 sqm of warehouse areas, 3,300 sqm for comfortable office and social spaces, and 1,900 sqm of mezzanines. The hall’s height will exceed 12 meters. MLP Spreenhagen will offer flexible modules ranging from 3,500 sqm to 24,500 sqm. The spaces are designed primarily for companies in light manufacturing, logistics, and retail, including e-commerce. The new facility will complement the fully leased MLP Business Park Berlin in Ludwigsfelde, also located in Brandenburg and focusing on light industry, retail, and services.
– The start of construction is a significant milestone in the development of MLP Spreenhagen. We are pleased to collaborate with LIST Group and benefit from their extensive experience for our second project in the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan area. This is our first joint venture, and construction work will begin in December this year, with the modern park ready for use by Q3 2025 – said Martin Birkert, Chief Country Officer Germany at MLP Group.
– We are delighted to partner with MLP Group on this exciting project. In addition to our expertise as a general contractor, we are proud to bring our knowledge in sustainable development. LIST engineers will handle construction, structural, and installation aspects, allowing us to support MLP Group with the broad range of services LIST Group offers – added Stephan Langer, Managing Partner at LIST Bau Bielefeld.
The new logistics center will be built on a plot of over 8.4 hectares in the municipality of Spreenhagen, approximately 15 km from Berlin’s outskirts and only 10 km from Tesla’s Gigafactory in Grünheide. The federal A12 highway, connecting Berlin with Frankfurt (Oder) and Poland, provides excellent links to Eastern, Western, and Central Europe.
In line with its sustainability strategy, MLP Group aims for DGNB Gold certification for the facility. To minimize environmental impact, the warehouse will feature photovoltaic installations and high-efficiency heat pumps. Additionally, the sprinkler system will meet FM Global’s highest standards, allowing storage of batteries and accumulators.
In keeping with its build & hold strategy, MLP Group retains completed logistics parks in its portfolio and manages them. All projects undertaken by MLP Group are distinguished by highly attractive logistics park locations, built-to-suit solutions, and ongoing tenant support throughout the lease term.
