Barings acquires logistics portfolio in Frankfurt/Rhine-Main

Global real estate investment manager Barings has purchased three cross-dock logistics properties in the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main region from Dietz. 

Logistics

The portfolio comprises three modern logistics assets totalling 17,975 m2 of rentable space. These properties are currently fully leased to a single tenant, ensuring stable rental income and offering potential for future rental growth.
Located in the strategically important Frankfurt/Rhine-Main region, the assets benefit from their proximity to the Frankfurt interchange, Germany's largest transportation hub, and excellent access to Frankfurt Airport, a key centre for European air freight. This region experiences high demand for logistics services, serving a dense metropolitan area and attracting tenants from the retail, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
Barings considers logistics a preferred real estate asset class, having invested significantly in the sector in 2025 and planning further commitment through 2026.
Nikolas von Kleist, senior director, head of Transaction Management Germany at Barings Real Estate, said: “This acquisition was a highly attractive investment, providing our capital source with strategic expansion in the logistics asset class with an excellently managed portfolio in Germany, one of Europe’s most attractive investment markets. The logistics occupier market is strong in Germany, especially in such sought-after locations as this, and we will continue to look for similar opportunities across the region with the primary focus on Value Add opportunities.”
Gunther Deutsch, managing director, head of Real Estate Transactions Europe at Barings Real Estate, added: “This transaction underlines Barings’ strong commitment to logistics across Europe, something that will remain a strong conviction for us alongside the sectors residential and office as we go into 2026. We’re continuing to look for comparable opportunities in this asset class on behalf of our core, core-plus and value-add strategies across our preferred European markets the Nordics, Benelux, UK, Italy, France and Iberia.”
Barings was advised by Linklaters and TA Europe, while CBRE acted as the sell-side broker.
