7R, a leading developer of sustainable industrial and logistics real estate with a well-established presence in Poland and the Czech Republic, is entering the next stage of its development by expanding into the German market. In 2025, 7R signed a binding agreement to acquire its first investment in Germany. Continuing its business strategy, the company has now established a partnership with a professional investor (Separately Managed Account – SMA) aimed at investing €200 million in the development of modern industrial, warehouse and logistics projects in Germany.
The partnership is a natural continuation of the consistent and successful activities we have carried out in Poland and the Czech Republic, while also representing an important step in 7R’s expansion across key European markets. Our entry into Germany confirms the maturity of our operational platform and our readiness to scale it further. With the support of institutional capital and a disciplined investment strategy, we are well prepared to deliver high-quality, modern industrial and logistics projects that meet the growing needs of the German market - commented Andrzej Wroński, CEO of 7R.
7R is a portfolio company of Urban Partners, which belongs to the Nordic Strategic Fund V (NSF V). Urban Partners is a leading European investor in the urban real estate sector and manages assets worth €25 billion. Its portfolio includes more than 2 million sq m of sustainable logistics and industrial assets as well as projects under development across Northern Europe, including 250,000 sq m located in Germany.
7R plans to expand in the German market through one or two land acquisitions and the purchase of one or two existing assets in 2026. The company’s strategy focuses on operations in the so-called BIG 7 cities: Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf. In these locations, the company will develop two property lines – 7R City Flex and 7R City Park – located within city limits or in their immediate surroundings and designed to provide efficient logistics close to rapidly developing urban centres.
Germany is one of the largest and most attractive warehouse real estate markets in Europe, driven by the strength of its domestic industrial base, its central geographical location and its highly developed transport infrastructure. As the continent’s largest economy and a key logistics hub for European trade, Germany generates stable, long-term demand for modern warehouse space. The scale of the market, its resilience to economic fluctuations and its growth potential make Germany a strategic destination for investors, developers and tenants seeking exposure to one of Europe’s most important supply chain markets. We are fully prepared for this step and intend to leverage our business advantages and experience gained in a highly competitive and dynamic environment. We are currently finalising preparations for our first project in Germany while simultaneously exploring further investment opportunities - said Magdalena Uler-Kłeczek, Board Member and CIO at 7R.
The German warehouse and logistics market recorded leasing transactions totalling nearly 6.1 million sq m in 2025, representing a significant increase of 14% compared with 2024. Overall, more agreements were signed than a year earlier, particularly a larger number of large-scale transactions, which strongly influence total market performance. According to available data, the segment of properties with an area of over 20,000 sq m grew by as much as 30%.
Logistics operators stand out particularly in this category, accounting for nearly half of the recorded leasing volume. This reflects the fact that many industries value the flexibility offered by logistics operators, especially during periods of economic slowdown. Data also indicate renewed and clearly stronger activity from e-commerce companies, which often outsource their operations in Germany to logistics operators.
