Property expertise for
Logistics and industry
The availability of logistics space with connections to sustainable transport modes is increasingly becoming a competitive factor for many industrial sectors and urban economic areas. Based on HGK's ports in the Cologne area and along the Rhine, the Real Estate division develops and markets sustainably developed industrial and warehouse space with optimal bi- and trimodal transport connections.
One example: with the Fusion Cologne project, we are developing a trimodally developed, sustainable industrial and logistics site in the north of Cologne in the immediate vicinity of Niehl harbour. On a total area of up to 55 hectares, several multi-level buildings will be constructed in the future, in which logistics and light industrial uses can be combined. Here, efficient use of space is combined with sustainable transport solutions in combined transport.

The designated GI area enables the development of efficient, multi-storey buildings with ridge heights of up to 24 metres for industry and logistics on plots of 20,000 square metres or more.
