The site is located directly off the major east-west A4 motorway and close to the Hermsdorfer Kreuz, a crossing with the A9 north-south motorway.

"We are very pleased to announce the start of this major project at one of Germany’s up and coming logistic hubs," said Ingo Steves, Director at Gazeley Germany. "Due to its strategic location and the growing number of new businesses that are moving to the area, this site offers excellent conditions for a distribution centre."

The building will be designed to achieve the sustainable “Silver Certificate” of the German “DGNB” (Sustainable Building Council).
