Sell logistics & industrial in Aachen.

Aachen's logistics leasing market is small in the national context but strategically distinctive, defined by its position on the German-Dutch border at the heart of the European market. The dominant location is the Avantis business park, the first cross-border German-Dutch park, straddling Aachen and Heerlen, which combines a strong motorway and European catchment with land prices well below those of core German hubs and an actively promoted, streamlined permitting process. Since the relaunch of the park's marketing, take-up has multiplied relative to previous years as occupiers have recognised the advantages of the location. The settlement roster gives the market genuine substance. The Honold Logistik Gruppe, operating for Continental, has built a logistics centre at Avantis with around 44,100 square metres of warehouse space plus roughly 700 square metres of office and social facilities, completed in the most recent development phase. The online pharmacy DocMorris operates its logistics and administration centre of approximately 16,000 square metres at the park, and Deutsche Post / DHL maintains an innovation and logistics presence there as well. These commitments from pan-European distribution, e-commerce and pharma occupiers underline Avantis's pull and the build-to-suit nature of much of the demand. Beyond Avantis, occupier activity concentrates around the Aachener Kreuz and the A4/A44 corridor near Eilendorf, the established regional belt through Würselen and Alsdorf to the north, and secondary industrial and storage locations in Brand and the south. Nationally, logistics rents were broadly stable through 2025, with top regions expected to see growth of up to 3.5 percent, and Aachen broadly tracks this pattern. Over the next twelve months the key opportunity is letting the remaining serviced plots at Avantis, supplemented by build-to-suit schemes for e-commerce and pharmaceutical users and last-mile facilities near the motorway junction. The principal constraints are land scarcity within the city boundary, cross-border regulatory complexity, and the sensitivity of occupier sentiment to any slowdown in trade.
