The 86,400 square metre logistics centre, which was pre-let at the end of 2025, is intended to support Amazon's expansion in Germany and, with the help of modern robotics technology, serve as a location for small and medium-sized goods in the densely populated region of North Rhine-Westphalia. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2026, with completion planned for mid-2027.
SEGRO Park Dortmund is being built on the 60-hectare site of a former coal-fired power station between Dortmund and Castrop-Rauxel. It has excellent transport links and is only a three-minute drive from the Castrop-Rauxel-Ost motorway junction (A42 and A45). Once completed, the site will offer more than 200,000 square metres of storage space. It will comprise large-scale logistics, urban logistics and light industrial space, with units ranging from 8,000 to over 85,000 square metres.
SEGRO Park Dortmund is being built to the highest sustainability standards and offers customers state-of-the-art, energy-efficient space for their activities. The roof areas will be greened throughout and equipped with photovoltaic systems with a total output of over 10 MW. The well-being of employees is also being given special consideration in the planning to make it easier for future users to attract and retain staff. This includes, among other things, recreation areas and rest areas for truck drivers.
Julian Kux, Director of Logistics at SEGRO in Germany, says:
"The pre-letting to Amazon highlights how important quality, functionality and sustainability are for success in the market today and in the future. From SEGRO's perspective, this deal reinforces our strategic approach: maintaining dialogue with our customers on a partnership basis and with mutual respect even before the contract is signed. At the same time, it motivates us to continue creating innovative, needs-based spaces for our customers that make extraordinary things possible."
The commercial law firm GÖRG advised SEGRO on the lease agreement and property, while Ecovis acted as tax advisor. K&L Gates advised Amazon on the lease agreement. Goldbeck is the general contractor for the construction work.
