Global logistics specialist Goodman Group has commenced construction of a new logistics centre for carmaker Daimler in Bremen.
The 33,000 m2 development at Hemelinger Hafen will assist the production supply of the Mercedes Benz C and other models produced in Bremen.
The logistics centre will be known as Goodman Interlink Bremen and is being developed on previously disused land that has been converted for logistics use by Goodman.
This is Goodman’s second project for Daimler in Germany and follows the co-operation in Malsch, which delivered a 46,000 m2 facility, said Andreas Fleischer, Goodman’s regional director for Germany.
Goodman is constructing the new logistics centre within the immediate vicinity of the existing production facility and will serve as a drive-in warehouse.
As with all its new developments, Goodman will apply for silver certification from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).
Goodman Group emerged as the number one developer in Europe this year for the second year in a row, according to PropertyEU. The ranking, which appears in the March edition, is based on completed projects in m2 from 2010 to 2012.
