SEGRO TO DEVELOP BUSINESS PARK IN DÃœSSELDORF
SEGRO plc has entered into a purchase contract with Stora Enso for a prominent
industrial site on the outskirts of Düsseldorf. The site is in the south of
Düsseldorf, well connected to motorways and the major industrial areas, and
will be developed by SEGRO as an industrial and logistics facility.
SEGRO has acquired around 161,000m2 at a price of EUR 18.79m. Stora Enso will
close down its factory by the end of 2007, and will then demolish the
buildings.
SEGRO will start the first of four phases of the development in 2009. After
full completion of the four phases, Düsseldorf-Benrath will add around 80,000m2
of modern light industrial/logistic space to SEGRO's portfolio.
Dr Udo Titz, SEGRO's general manager in Germany, said: "I am pleased that we
have gained access to the Düsseldorf market through this acquisition, at a
realistic price, of a site well suited to development as a business park. The
total project envisages flexible business space, with a mix of speculative
units and tailor-built solutions."
