Sell logistics & warehousing in Duisburg.

A logistics property needs to suit your goods flow, storage systems and transport routes. Floor area alone does not establish suitability. Usable clear height, floor load capacity and column spacing affect how the building can operate. Racking, cross-docking and smaller storage activities have different requirements. Specify the goods you handle and the equipment you intend to use in your search brief. Technical claims in a brochure should be checked against the property documentation before making a decision.

Loading docks and ground-level doors determine access for deliveries. Yard space, access widths and the separation of delivery traffic from staff routes also matter. Motorway proximity is useful only when the final approach accommodates the vehicles you plan to use. Delivery windows, permitted operating hours and the distance to customers or production sites belong in the location assessment. Office and staff facilities should reflect your actual workforce.

For a lease, we consider service charges, fit-out responsibility, term and handover condition alongside rent. For a purchase, land, maintenance obligations and existing leases require additional review. Listings here match the city, use category and rental or purchase intent. Warehouse pages also group industrial halls and self-storage listings, whose individual suitability still needs checking. A search brief records additional requirements without assuming that an advertised property has unverified technical features.

Duisburg holds a leading position within the Rhine-Ruhr logistics region. As Europe's largest inland port and a central node of multimodal flows, the location combines waterway, rail and road in a density few German markets can match, complemented by proximity to Duesseldorf airport for air-freight solutions. This infrastructure underpins durable occupier demand and anchors Duisburg in the national and European distribution network. The stock of modern logistics space rose to around 729,850 sqm in 2025, up about 2.2 percent on 2024 (714,000 sqm), keeping Duisburg ahead of Dortmund, Bochum and Essen on modern logistics stock. Take-up, however, weakened markedly. After a strong 81,700 sqm in 2024, lettings fell to around 28,300 sqm in 2025, with only one deal of 10,000 sqm or more recorded. The softer result was primarily cyclical: companies acted cautiously on expansion and relocation decisions amid high financing costs and economic uncertainty, while a shortage of modern, ESG-compliant space further constrained expansion-minded occupiers. At the same time, high site loyalty was evident, with larger renewals underlining confidence in Duisburg's infrastructure even though renewals do not enter the take-up statistic. The standout supply impulse was the GARBE logistics centre in Duisburg Nord, completed in autumn 2025 and fully let shortly afterwards to an international e-commerce company - a rare speculative success in a market where development remains strongly pre-letting-dependent. On rents, 2025 was a consolidation phase. The prime rent stabilised at 8.00 EUR/sqm/month, unchanged on the prior year, while the average rent edged up to 5.20 EUR/sqm. The market is differentiating increasingly by location and building quality: high-grade space continues to achieve prime rents, while simple functional stock faces growing competitive pressure. Across the wider Ruhr region, take-up rose strongly to above 600,000 sqm in 2025. Overall, Duisburg's structural location advantages secure its standing as one of the Ruhr's leading logistics markets even in a restrained demand environment.

Average rent: 5.2 EUR/sqm/month; Prime rent: 8 EUR/sqm/month; modern stock: 729,850 sqm (modern logistics, <=10y); take up 2025: 28,300 sqm (FY 2025).
