Topping-out ceremony for Europe's largest logistics center made of wood
Europe's largest timber logistics center is being built in Straubing-Sand. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated last Thursday together with representatives from politics and business as well as the companies involved in the construction, Garbe Industrial and Logicenters, Nrep's development and management platform for logistics real estate.
The logistics property is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of this year. The property is being built on a plot of around 47,000 square meters. The logistics center will have a hall area of around 24,500 square meters. In addition, there will be around 1,500 square meters of warehouse space and approximately 1,100 square meters for offices and social rooms. The property will be equipped with 26 dock levelers and nine sectional doors for loading and unloading trucks. Six of these will be covered with side access.
"We want the buildings we build to do more than just fulfill their purpose," says Adrian Zellner, member of the Garbe Industrial management team. "As a real estate company, we attach great importance to reconciling ecology and economy when planning and constructing our buildings. Our properties should consume fewer resources, have less impact on the environment and be usable in the long term. Wood as a building material plays a particularly important role in this."
Certified wood
A total of around 4,400 cubic meters of wood is needed for the new building. It comes from sustainable forestry from PEFC[1]certified forests. Spruce and pine from the Bavarian forest and neighboring Austria are used for the construction. Douglas fir from the Black Forest and Switzerland will be used for the façade, which will stand out visually from the usual logistics properties.
