Sönke Kewitz, managing director of P3 Germany, added: 'We are pleased to announce this important acquisition of modern and sustainable properties.

The excellent locations of the three assets will enable us to meet the growing demand for modern logistics space and we believe that this investment will help to further increase the growth momentum in these markets.'
