Property developer Baytree is continuing its expansion in northern Germany. In Schwanewede, situated immediately north of Bremen, the company has acquired an industrial site of roughly 131,700 square metres. A modern industrial and logistics park offering a total of 80,100 square metres of lettable space is to be built on this plot.
Modular layout for flexible occupier profiles
The planned scheme is divided into two independent building sections. The design allows prospective occupiers to configure units according to their specific requirements. Up to nine self-contained units can be established on the site, catering to both major users and medium-sized industrial businesses.
- —Around 69,000 square metres of ground-floor warehouse space
- —Approximately 6,900 square metres of mezzanine space
- —Roughly 4,200 square metres of office and social areas
- —Subdivision into up to nine self-contained functional units
For Baytree, this acquisition signifies an increase in its activity in the Lower Saxony municipality. Only in August this year did the developer successfully complete a logistics property with roughly 30,000 square metres of usable space at the same location.
Transport connectivity and environmental building standards
The estate benefits from its close proximity to major northern German seaports in Bremen and Bremerhaven. The site has direct access to the nationwide motorway network via the Autobahn 27. Transport infrastructure will be enhanced further from 2029, when construction of the new Weser Tunnel on the Autobahn 281 will establish a direct route to the Bundesautobahn 1. Stefan Siegle, Head of Germany at Baytree, pointed in this context to Schwanewede's strategic location and multimodal infrastructure, which he noted offers optimal conditions for national and international firms.
Construction will be carried out under the internal Baytree Edge sustainability programme. The overall project is aiming for DGNB Gold certification. The technical concept includes an energy-efficient building envelope, the installation of an extensive rooftop photovoltaic system, and selected facade greening.
