SEGRO has handed over around 50,000 square meters in its SEGRO Logistics Park Leipzig Airport to the online retailer Relaxdays, the largest e-commerce company in Central Germany, which reaches customers all over Europe with its web shop.
The company mainly offers products in the areas of living, garden and sport & leisure. It wants to use the new area as a logistics center. The now completed areas are the first phase that SEGRO is developing for its new tenant as a built-to-suit. Around 5,000 square meters of this is office and social space.

The areas offer space for 150,000 pallets and around 600 parking spaces were created, which can be reached via a sky bridge. The building has been awarded the DGNB Gold sustainability certificate and also offers a fitness and yoga area as well as a roof terrace for employees. The construction company Goldbeck was responsible for the construction measures as general contractor. In addition, SEGRO was supported in project management by the engineering office for construction management dörpinghaus & divisek.
“With these new spaces, we can continue our Europe-wide expansion while remaining true to our home region. The high-quality equipment of the areas is particularly important to us, with which we can offer our employees an optimal working environment," says Martin Menz, founder and managing director of Relaxdays.
"We are proud to be able to hand over the areas to our customer on time, despite the uncertainties of the pandemic. A special thank you goes to everyone involved in the project,” says Christopher Gigl, Associate Director Development Logistics at SEGRO.
