INBRIGHT signs long-term lease for approx. 11,600 sqm in Nuremberg with Metz Consumer Electronics

Nuremberg/Berlin, 5 August 2025. Berlin-based project developer and asset manager INBRIGHT has signed a long-term lease agreement with Metz Consumer Electronics GmbH for a light industrial property located at Sigmundstraße 189 in Nuremberg. The approx. 11,600 sqm facility will be fully occupied by Metz under a single-tenant arrangement with a term of 15 years. With this lease, the asset is now fully let. Acquired in 2023 in partnership with CONVALOR, the property forms part of INBRIGHT’s nationwide Transform-to-Green strategy, which focuses on the ESG-led redevelopment and decarbonisation of existing commercial real estate. Metz Consumer Electronics is a long-established German company with more than 85 years of experience in developing and manufacturing premium consumer electronics, particularly high-end televisions. In 2023, Metz expanded its portfolio to include photovoltaic systems in the German market. The newly leased space in Nuremberg will serve as the company’s new central hub for R&D, production, customer service, and administration—ensuring job continuity for all employees. "This new location lays the groundwork for securing the long-term future of Metz – technologically, operationally and financially. Our relocation is a strong commitment to sustainable growth and the ongoing evolution of our company," said Dr. Norbert Kotzbauer, CEO of Metz Consumer Electronics. Sustainable refurbishment with measurable ESG impact The comprehensive refurbishment aims to significantly reduce the building’s carbon footprint. Measures include insulation of the office roof, replacement of windows, installation of a sustainable heating system, and rooftop photovoltaic panels. Based on technical assessments, these efforts will cut CO₂ emissions by up to 62.43 kg per sqm per year. Green lease clauses ensure that sustainability goals remain enforceable over the full lease term. INBRIGHT also plans to pursue BREEAM certification for the property. “This long-term lease by Metz not only confirms the appeal of Nuremberg as a business location but also illustrates the significant value creation potential of ESG-led brown-to-green strategies. Our goal was to align the operational needs of a technology company with our sustainability standards. This partnership marks another important milestone in our Transform-to-Green portfolio,” said Katharina Mühlbauer, Project & Transaction Manager at INBRIGHT. The project is being executed by Fischer Planen und Bauen GmbH as general contractor. Dreyer & Kollegen is responsible for project management. Legal advice was provided by K&L Gates, while Multacon – multa consilia GmbH acted as the leasing intermediary.

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.
