The industrial and logistics real estate developer Panattoni again leads the ranking of the most active developers in Germany, according to the market analysis “Logistics and Real Estate 2025” by the analysis firm Bulwiengesa. No company has developed more logistics space during the period under consideration, the developer said in a press release on September 11. Compared with the previous year, the lead over the runner-up could even be doubled. Panattoni thus secures the top position for the fourth year in a row.
In the market analysis, Panattoni recorded a completion volume of around
2.1 million square meters in the period 2020 to 2025. If one looks at the pipeline volume for the coming years, Panattoni leads with just under one million square meters also for 2025 and 2026. In 2025, by the early August cut-off of the survey period, 284,000 square meters of space had already been completed. Overall, a large portion of the current developments is accounted for by revitalizations: 3.5 million square meters of brownfield space have been successfully redeveloped in Germany to date.
“Especially in an environment shaped by uncertainties, it is our task
to move forward with reliable quality, sustainable concepts, and customer-centric solutions,” said Fred-Markus Bohne, Managing Partner at Panattoni Germany and Austria. “The top position shows that our strategy is on the right track – and that we are making a big difference together with our partners.”
Since entering Europe in 2005, the company has realized around 24.5 million square meters of new space. In Germany, Panattoni—with over 150 employees and a focus on brownfield revitalization, ESG-compliant real estate solutions, and collaborative partnerships—counts among the market's key players.
At the international trade fair for real
estate and investments EXPO REAL in Munich, Panattoni provides a first glimpse of a new product solution in the segment of flexible commercial spaces that strategically complements the existing portfolio. The solution targets users with a smaller space requirement than is typical in the industrial and logistics real estate asset class, combining compact construction with scalability and ESG compatibility. In addition, the company is presenting a new initiative for building data center infrastructure in urban locations — a move by Panattoni to respond to the growing demands for digital provision and site connectivity across
