LIP Invest, a leading provider of special logistics real estate funds in Germany, has acquired a logistics property in Bramsche, In der Welle 16, as part of a sale-and-lease-back transaction for the “LIP Real Estate Investment Fund – LOGISTICS GERMANY V” launched by INTREAL. The seller, majamo GmbH, is a fulfillment service provider in the e- and social commerce sector and was legally advised by Heuking. Jones Lange Lasalle was exclusively mandated on the seller side. WRN Walch Rittberg Nagel was responsible for the legal and tax due diligence for LIP, while orange recon and EnviroSustain for ESG due diligence were responsible for the technical due diligence.
The transaction property is a modern distribution center that was built in 2023 on an 18,600 square meter site. The total lettable area of the property amounts to around 10,000 square metres. Of this, 8,000 square metres are for the hall, 1,200 square metres for office and social space and 600 square metres for the mezzanine area.
The distribution center is leased on a long-term basis to majamo, a logistics service provider with a focus on e-commerce and social commerce fulfillment. The company provides logistics solutions for clients such as D2C brands (direct-to-consumer), major influencers, and long-time Amazon sellers. Among other things, products such as clothing or merchandise are packed, picked and shipped on site.
“Through the partnership with LIP Invest, we are able to continue our growth strategy under our own steam. At the same time, we secure the location through the sale-and-lease-back structure with a long-term lease. On the one hand, this creates reliability for our employees and, on the other hand, gives us the necessary planning security for the coming years,” explains Maria Bussmann, founder and managing director of majamo.
Sebastian Betz, Managing Partner of LIP Invest, adds: “E-commerce has been a constant space driver in the logistics real estate sector for several years. Our latest acquisition is the best example of how this trend will continue in the coming years due to developments such as the growth market of social commerce.”
The logistics hall can be divided into two units and can be served via 7 ramp gates and 3 ground-level gates. Two of the ground-level gates are also equipped with a canopy for lateral loading and unloading. In combination with the large column grid, this makes the logistics property suitable for central and regional supply or cross-industry warehouse and handling use by a wide variety of users.
There is a PV system on the roof surface, which supplies the property with renewable electricity. In addition, the property is equipped with e-charging facilities for cars and can be reached by public transport. The closest junction to the A1 motorway is one and a half kilometres away. The Bramsche site is part of the Münster/Osnabrück logistics region, which is a suitable transshipment point between the North Sea and the Ruhr area due to its location.
