The buyer was a commingled fund managed by Clarion Partners Europe.
The 29,000 m2 distribution property, developed in 2020, is strategically located south of Hanover. It boasts excellent access to the B6, A7, and A2 highways and is fully leased to a third-party logistics provider.
The asset is a modern, Grade-A building with a DGNB Gold certification, indicating strong sustainability. It features superior specifications, flexible divisibility into three separate halls, and robust ESG credentials.
Gunther Deutsch, managing director and head of Transactions Europe at Barings Real Estate, said: “This transaction represents our 11th European logistics sale in 2025. Our total 2025 logistics sale volume amounted to €500 mln across our European jurisdictions and marks our most successful year in terms of sales in the market. Germany remains one of Europe’s most resilient logistics markets, supported by structural demand from e‑commerce, industrial production and supply‑chain modernisation. Sarstedt is a standout location within the Hanover metropolitan region, offering exceptional connectivity and strong occupier fundamentals. We remain very interested in the acquisition of logistics developments or refurbishments in the risk spectrum from core to value add through JV´s or direct investments.”
Nikolas von Kleist, senior director, head of Transaction Management Germany at Barings Real Estate, added: “This transaction underscores the continued strength of Germany’s logistics corridors and the resilience of well‑located, high‑quality assets with secure income profiles. Sarstedt benefits from exceptional transport connectivity and sustained occupier demand, which have driven consistent market liquidity even in a more selective investment environment.”
