Patron Capital and INBRIGHT lease more than 16,000 sqm in Ludwigsfelde to Schnellecke

Berlin/London, 29 September 2026 – Patron Capital, the pan-European institutional investor focused on property-backed investments, and INBRIGHT, the specialist investor, developer and asset manager for light industrial and logistics properties, have signed a long-term lease with Schnellecke Transportlogistik GmbH for a logistics property in Ludwigsfelde, south of Berlin.

Patron Capital and INBRIGHT acquired the logistics property at Rudolf-Diesel-Straße 2 in March 2026 from Logtrans Spedition, a subsidiary of the Schnellecke Group, as part of a short-term sale-and-leaseback. The new lease secures Schnellecke’s long-term use of the site.

The lease covers around 16,310 sqm. Of this, around 10,000 sqm is warehouse and storage space, including offices. The remaining leased areas are IOS (industrial outdoor storage) areas, which Schnellecke uses for its logistics and transport processes. The international family-owned company operates in twelve countries across logistics, transport and production.

INBRIGHT and Patron Capital will continue to develop the property alongside ongoing operations. Planned structural and energy-related measures aim to improve the building fabric, energy efficiency and long-term usability. A key measure is the refurbishment of the roof, which will also create the conditions for a future photovoltaic system.

“In Ludwigsfelde, we are systematically developing the existing structures to position the site optimally for the current requirements of the logistics industry. The combination of existing warehouse, storage and outdoor areas provides a very good foundation for this. In close dialogue with our tenant, we are creating the conditions for long-term use of the site,” says Kilian Rendelmann, Project Manager at INBRIGHT Development GmbH.

“Ludwigsfelde is a strategically important site for Schnellecke. The long-term lease gives us the planning security we need to continue our operations here sustainably and to align the site with our future requirements. At the same time, it is important to us to have a reliable partner who purposefully develops the property alongside our ongoing operations,” says Torsten Colditz, Site Manager Ludwigsfelde at Schnellecke Transportlogistik GmbH.

The joint venture between Patron Capital and INBRIGHT invests in logistics, warehouse and distribution properties at established industrial and logistics locations in Germany and Portugal. INBRIGHT is responsible for the development, asset management and property management of the properties. The focus is on the step-by-step structural and energy-related upgrading of existing buildings and their adaptation to the long-term requirements of occupiers.

Our Contribution to the sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015 by the member states of the United Nations.
They set a road map for the sustainable social, economic and environmental transformation of our world by 2030.

The SDGs also offer us as a company a framework for contributing to a positive future for the world. Our ESG strategy is our contribution to tackling the greatest worldwide challenges, especially to achieving the following SDGs:

We respect diversity, a fair pay and participation structure and the indivdual promotion of out team members, thus contributing to equality of opportunity.

Economic success and a profitable investment strategy are for us the foundation for securing attractive jobs in the long term and contributing to healthy economic growth.

We promote a low-emission infrastructure by locating our properties close to existing residential areas, offering our tenants access to public transport. We modernise and reposition old industrial and commercial properties to make their use lower in emissions, cleaner and more flexible, thus making a noticeable contribution to sustainable industry.

When building and repairing our properties, we are careful to use innovative and engery-efficient systems so as to aviod unnecessary environmental pressures on the surrounding area. Wherever compatible with legislation and the comfort demands of our users, we reduce technical equipment to a minimum to promote the longevity of our properties.

We align both our company and our property projects to ESG criteria. This includes planning our properties in a way that is sparing of resources and ensures them a long useful life with maximum flexibility. We also maintain open interactions in the spirit of partnership with all those involved – from planners and building firms through to the eventual user.

Reducing emissions, especially CO2 emissions, has a high priority for us within our ESG strategy. We as a company aim to reduce and compensate for our CO2 footprint to make the most effective contribution we can to protecting the climate.

How we derived Our ESG strategy

In an initial workshop, we first developed core values for our company. The development of an ESG strategy for INBRIGHT is based on this: main topics were determined and validated based on a fixed evaluation scheme in a two-day workshop. On the one hand, the topics result from the requirements of national and international industry standards and frameworks, such as DGNB, LEED and GRESB, and, on the other hand, from general sustainability standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Sustainable Development Goals. The list of topics was ultimately supplemented by specific industry requirements from the Light Industrial area. The collection of topics was classified based on a fixed evaluation scheme in a materiality assessment using a two-dimensional matrix with the dimensions “Relevance to business” and “Effects on the government and society”. The topics with the highest values in both dimensions, and hence being above the materiality threshold, form the basis of our ESG strategy or our sustainability programme. The materiality assessment is revalidated annually with the participation of internal and external stakeholders and the assessment of the topics is adjusted accordingly.
