Prologis Logistics Park in Herne, Germany: 20,445 m² Facility Leased in Its Entirety

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 9, the U.S. logistics real estate company Prologis announced that its logistics park in Herne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, has been leased in its entirety to JF Global Supply Chain GmbH. The lease covers two newly built logistics buildings, Herne DC1 and Herne DC2, with a total floor area of 20,445 m². The tenant took possession of the facilities in November 2026 and plans to conduct warehousing, order processing and goods distribution operations locally, focusing on serving the logistics needs of customers in the energy sector and other fields.

The logistics park was developed by Prologis on an idle industrial site of approximately 36,400 m², which had been out of use since 2020. Through the construction of two modern logistics buildings, the project returns the former industrial land to logistics facility operations. The two buildings have a total area of 20,445 m², of which approximately 17,300 m² is warehouse space, with the remaining space used for ancillary facilities and related operational functions.

The tenant, JF Global Supply Chain GmbH, was founded in January 2025 and is headquartered in Monheim, Germany, primarily engaging in domestic and international logistics business. This lease will provide additional warehouse space for the company to expand its German logistics network. The company plans to concentrate goods storage, order processing and merchandise distribution in Herne, particularly targeting the warehousing and logistics needs of energy-sector products. The new site can accommodate larger-scale warehousing and distribution operations and consolidate multiple order fulfillment steps within a single facility.

The Herne logistics park is located in the Ruhr region of Germany and is connected via the A43 motorway to the A42 and A2 motorways, providing links to the Ruhr industrial area and other major economic regions in Germany. This location facilitates the organization of road transport of goods between regional warehouses, industrial enterprises and end customers, and also provides transport corridors for cross-regional and international supply chains.

The park has been equipped with energy and environmental facilities. Photovoltaic systems with an installed capacity of 1 MWp have been installed on the roofs of both buildings, with the generated electricity used for the park's own consumption and fed into the public grid. Approximately 11,000 m² of the building roofs feature green landscaping, and electric vehicle charging facilities are provided, covering both passenger cars and freight vehicles. In addition, the project includes an underground rainwater storage tank for rainwater collection and utilization.

Prologis plans to apply for Platinum certification from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) for both Herne DC1 and DC2. The certification evaluates aspects including building energy efficiency, resource use, environmental impact and building usage conditions. The photovoltaic systems, roof greening, rainwater collection and vehicle charging facilities together form the park's sustainable building support system.

The lease was advised by the real estate services firm JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle) for both the landlord and the tenant, and JLL assisted in completing the transaction. With the two logistics facilities handed over to the tenant for use, Prologis's brownfield logistics development project in Herne has entered the operational phase, while JF Global Supply Chain has gained a new German warehousing and regional distribution node.
