Ten years of new logistics property developments in Bavaria at a glance
Whether Munich, Nuremberg or the Danube region - the Bavarian logistics property market has developed enormously over the past ten years.
This is shown by a current Logivest heat map of new construction developments in Bavaria. Around 8 million square metres of new logistics space have been built here since 2014.
As the Logivest data shows, the developments are not limited to the logistics regions. As space becomes increasingly scarce, more and more projects are also being located in areas outside of the established hotspots, such as the 100,000 square metre Edeka logistics centre that went under construction in Marktredwitz in 2021.
But there is also a lot of movement within the logistics regions. While there is hardly any space left for large-scale logistics centres in the cities of Munich and Nuremberg, regions such as Ansbach are benefiting from the continuous demand. Hermes set up a logistics centre of around 77,000 square metres in the Middle Franconian town back in 2018. However, exciting logistics properties have also been built in the north of Bavaria, in the Würzburg / Schweinfurt logistics region, which rarely attracts attention with large-scale projects, over the last ten years. For example, S.Oliver's logistics centre in Dettelbach, Lower Franconia, which covers around 76,000 square metres.
The predominant demand sector in Bavaria - which is also clearly visible on the heat map - is still the automotive industry and its suppliers. In addition to Munich and Nuremberg, Ingolstadt and the surrounding area as well as the Danube region from Regensburg to Deggendorf are also in greater demand. Probably the largest project of the past ten years, BMW's logistics centre of around 235,000 square metres, is also located in Wallersdorf between Deggendorf and Landshut. In general, the areas along the A92 motorway - from the Bavarian capital via Deggendorf to Passau - have developed enormously over the past ten years.
‘The relevance of motorway proximity and general transport links has increased once again over the past ten years - as we can see both in the development of new buildings in other federal states and at the letting level. This is of course an important indicator for the investment market in particular,’ says Markus Seidlein, Head of Research at Logivest.
