7R, a company specializing in providing customers with innovative and eco-friendly warehouse and logistics space, has completed the sale of 7R Park Goleniów II to Macquarie Asset Management. The BTS (Build-to-Suit) format warehouse in Goleniów, near Szczecin, comprises of 62,500 sqm of modern logistics space and 3,100 sqm of office space. The facility is fully leased to FIEGE, a German mail-order retailer and global e-commerce giant. This is the second deal between Macquarie Asset Management and 7R closed within the last few months. In August 2022, the investor also acquired the 7R City Flex Warsaw Airport I facility.
The facility combines both environmentally friendly design, high-quality logistics space, and a wide variety of solutions supporting employees’ well-being and comfort. The property is expected to be awarded an ‘Excellent’ rating under BREEAM’s sustainable building certification scheme. It is strategically located in Goleniów in the Industrial Zone adjacent to the S3 express road and, due to the extensive road infrastructure, provides great accessibility to Szczecin city centre – just 30 km away – as well as the cargo terminal at Solidarity Szczecin Goleniów Airport. 7R previously announced that FIEGE is the main tenant of the facility. The property has been built in BTS (Build-To-Suit) format.
The increasing penetration of e-commerce across the continent has enabled the logistics sector in Poland to flourish. With its strategic location close to the German border and strong transport links, we believe this property is well-placed to help respond to growing demand in the years ahead.
Christian Goebel, Co-Head of Macquarie Asset Management’s Core/Core-Plus Real Estate strategy at Macquarie Asset Management
We are excited to continue our cooperation with Macquarie Asset Management. The divestment of 7R Park Goleniów II is another great example of our partnership and the best evidence of the high quality of our assets. It also proves that each of our projects stands out with a great added value not only for tenants but for investors as well. Szczecin and its surroundings offer excellent exposure to regional logistics operations and e-commerce business activities. These features are highly important both for our anchor tenant and now for the new owner of the property.

To ensure that the logistics building is both environmentally friendly and comfortable for employees, a 50 KWp photovoltaic installation will cover the roof. The building's energy efficiency is also positively influenced by using air temperature equalization destratifiers in the hall and LED lighting through a DALI system. Outside, there will be a recreational zone for employees, flower meadows, bird and insect boxes, and charging stations for electric cars. Rainwater will be used to water the green areas. The general contractor for the construction works is Goldbeck. 7R Architects made the conceptual design of the building. The entire investment is realized in the design-build format by Goldbeck.
