Industrial Real Estate GmbH, one of the leading specialists for
logistics and industrial properties in Germany, just acquired two
logistics assets in Vienna on behalf of an institutional investor.
The
properties, which have a combined plot size of 103,000 square metres,
consist of two warehouses plus two smaller office buildings. The
lettable area of the assets, which are located on
Warneckestrasse in Simmering, the 11th district of Vienna, add up to
around 47,000 square metres overall, with logistics facilities
accounting for about 40,000 square metres thereof. Head tenants are the
Austrian logistics firms Q-Logistics and Quehenberger.
The weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) equals 6.6 years. The
two parties to the contract agreed not to disclose the selling price.
Jan Philipp Daun, Head of Investment Management at GARBE Industrial Real
Estate, commented: “The logistics properties in the south-east part of
Vienna occupy an excellent location and have outstanding trimodal
connectivity to water, rail and road transportation.
Moreover, Vienna Airport is around nine kilometres away via the
motorway, and thus within easy reach. Due to the lease agreements, an
inflation-indexed and therefore permanently stable cash flow is in place
that could be increased through additional new lettings
and modernisation measures.” Daun added: “Vienna is Austria’s most
important logistics cluster. At the moment, keen demand for logistics
facilities coincides with short supply. This implies upside potential
for further rent hikes. Accordingly, we consider
Vienna’s logistics market to be very interesting in general.”
Both properties on Warneckestrasse were acquired within the framework of
an asset deal. Aside from the close proximity to the airport in
Schwechat, two inland ports, Freudenau (1.9 kilometres away) and Albern
(2.2 kilometres) are easily accessible. The properties
are located inside a trading estate. One of the plots benefits from a
unique characteristic: It is the only plot of this sizes in the area
surrounding the ports that is not encumbered with a building lease,
ground lease or structural easement.
The neighbourhood is defined by properties of the use types warehouse and light industrial.
