MARKET TRENDS.

BOOMING INDUSTRIAL AND LOGISTICS

The Stuttgart Region is booming. The automotive industry

as well as mechanical engineering are back on track with

sustainable growth and excellent prospects.

This can be seen in high bonus-payments for automotive

employees, as well as a strong demand for industrial and

logistics property.

LOGISTICS IN THE WAKE OF INDUSTRY

The strong economic background of the Stuttgart Region

and the high density of logistics have intensified the

demand for modern logistics space. On the one hand,

industrial companies strive for highly-efficient supply chains,

on the other hand a continued trend for outsourcing of

production processes to logistics service providers can be

observed.

Such close ties between industrial and logistics are

characteristic for the economic Region of Stuttgart.

Despite these positive economic trends, not all communities

within the Stuttgart Region will benefit from a booming

industrial sector.

A survey by Bankhaus ELLwANGER & GEIGER has found a

widening gap between the counties of the Stuttgart Region

concerning the settlement of modern logistics between

2009 and 2012.

Especially counties along the A 81 motorway (Ludwigsburg,

Böblingen), continue to lead the way. By far the largest

growth in logistics space could be observed in these two

counties. This increase in logistics space was generated by

expansions of local companies as well as new settlements.

Proximity to major industrial estates of the Stuttgart Region,

in combination with excellent traffic links to nationwide

speed- and motorways, were strategic advantages for the

counties of Ludwigsburg and Böblingen. Furthermore,

these counties have adopted settlement and logistic-friendly

policies, which is reflected in a sufficient supply of suitable

plots at an adequate price.

Despite high demand not only for respective plots, but

also for flexible existing properties, the growth of modern

logistics property along the A 8 motorway (Munich –

Karlsruhe) has been lagging behind its potential. This

negative trend is the result of restrictive zoning policies

on the one hand, and above average land prices on the

other hand. As a consequence, all major new settlements

where either placed outside the Region of Stuttgart (Ulm,

Augsburg, Karlsruhe) or along the A 81 motorway.

ECONOMIC ATTRACTIVNESS IS NOT A GIVEN

The successful clustering of industrial and logistics

companies has generated sustainable economic growth in

the Stuttgart Region. To secure this positive trend for the

future, local authorities, companies and investors will need

to intensify their cooperation. The importance of industrial

and logistics settlements will need to be communicated

to the public and local residents will need to be involved

in all stages of the planning process.

SPACE TURNOVER

In 2011, the letting volume of industrial and logistics

space in the Stuttgart Region has reached 165,000 square

metres, compared with 195,000 square metres in 2010.

Approx. 79 per cent of the total space turnover resulted

from lettings of existing property. The remaining 21 per

cent of leases were placed in newly built properties, for

examples 5,000 square metres in weilimdorf or 25,000

square metres in Böblingen and Untertürckheim.

Of that space turnover, brokers marketed approx.

117,000 square metres, which corresponds to approx. 

71 per cent of the total volume. with a market share

of 25 per cent, ELLwANGER & GEIGER continues to be

market leader.

Counties with the largest space turnovers:

❚❚ Esslingen approx. 49,000 sqm

❚❚ Böblingen approx. 35,000 sqm

❚❚ Ludwigsburg approx. 33,000 sqm

In 2011 the transaction volume of developed plots and

industrial sites reached approx. 603,000 square metres.

TRANSACTION-STRATEGIES

❚❚ Owner occupancy

❚❚ Partial demolition/new development

❚❚ Demolition/new development

The largest transactions in this sector were the selling of

NXP-Areal in Böblingen with approx. 220,000 square

metres, the EllringKlinger commercial site in Ludwigsburg

with approx. 140,000 sqm, as well as the brick works of

winnenden with approx. 60,000 square metres and the

Coperions Areal in Stuttgart with approx. 45,000 square

metres.

RENTS

Average net rents for industrial and logistics space rose

significantly from € 4.50 per square metres in 2010 to

€ 4.70 per square metres in 2011. This increase is a result

of a continuous demand as well as shortage of industrial

and logistics space in the Stuttgart Region. The average

lease duration for existing properties lies between 3 to 5

years – 7 to 10 years for newly built property.

Like in 2010, peak rents reached € 6.20 per square metres

for newly built logistics space.

INvESTMENT.

INVESTMENT

A major trend from 2010 has been continued, as predomi-

nantly private investors were active on the market and

bought existing industrial sites with potential for new

developments. Demand of institutional investors for core

property has been high, but could not be met by suitable

investment opportunities. Only few institutional investors

were looking for brown fields with upside potential.

On the supply side, no suitable products where placed on

the industrial and logistics markets at all. New develop-

ments, no matter if initiated by private or institutional

investors were held in the portfolio of the respective

investor. Only one transaction, in the County of Rems-

Murr, with more than 10,000 square metres of logistics

space, reached an initial yield of 8 per cent.

Due to this lack of products and transactions, prime yields

cannot be forcasted at present. For any selling of core

products, ELLwANGER & GEIGER expects an initial yield

of less than 8 per cent.

OUTLOOK FOR 2012/2013

From the third quarter 2012 to the first quarter 2013

extensive newly built logistics properties will be completed

and ready to be listed. Currently more than 50 per cent

of these spaces are pre let. ELLwANGER & GEIGER will

exclusively market a total of approx. 45,000 square metres.

However, this will not be enough to satisfy the demand for

modern logistics space.

Against the backdrop of a continuously high demand in

combination with the completion of newly built logistics

property, we expect average rents to rise in 2012/2013

and forecast peak net rents for newly built logistics space

to the amount of € 6.50 per square metres

Top letting volumes are to be reached in Ludwigsburg

County, due to:

❚❚ Available plots

❚❚ Adequate ground values

❚❚ Excellent infrastructure

❚❚ Company friendly policies
