7R launches in Germany

7R, a leading developer of sustainable warehouse and industrial properties with an established position in the Polish and Czech markets, is taking its next step in business development by entering Germany. In 2025, 7R signed a binding agreement to acquire its first investment in Germany. Now, continuing its business strategy, 7R has entered into a partnership with a professional investor (Separately Managed Account – SMA), aiming to invest €200 million in the development of modern industrial, warehouse, and logistics projects in Germany.

“This partnership is a natural continuation of our consistent and effective activities implemented so far in Poland and the Czech Republic, and at the same time, a significant step in 7R’s development in key European markets. Entering Germany confirms the maturity of our operating platform and our readiness to further scale it. Thanks to the support of institutional capital and a consistently implemented, 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, owned by Nordic Strategic Fund V (NSF V). Urban Partners is a leading European investor in the urban real estate sector, managing assets worth €25 billion. Its portfolio includes over 2 million square meters of sustainable logistics and industrial assets and projects under development in Northern Europe, of which 250,000 square meters are located in Germany.

7R plans to expand into the German market by completing one or two land acquisitions and acquiring 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 lines of facilities—7R City Flex and 7R City Park—that is, properties located within or adjacent to city limits, designed to ensure efficient logistics near dynamically developing urban centers.

“Germany is one of the most attractive and largest warehouse real estate markets in Europe, driven by the strength of the country’s industrial base, its central geographic location, and its highly developed transport infrastructure. As the continent’s largest economy and a key logistics hub for European trade, Germany generates stable and long-term demand for modern warehouse space. The market’s scale, resilience to economic fluctuations, and potential for further growth make Germany a strategic destination for investors, developers, and tenants seeking exposure to one of the most important supply chain markets in Europe. We are fully prepared for this step and intend to leverage our business advantages and experience operating in an extremely competitive and dynamic environment in the German market.” We are currently finalizing preparations for our first project in Germany, and in parallel, we are conducting discussions regarding further investment opportunities,” said Magdalena Uler-Kłeczek, Member of the Management Board and CIO at 7R.

The German warehouse and logistics market will record a lease transaction volume of nearly 6.1 million square meters in 2025, representing a significant 14% increase compared to 2024. More contracts were signed in total than a year earlier, and above all, a greater number of large-scale transactions were recorded, which naturally have a strong impact on the overall market performance. Data shows that the segment of facilities with areas of 20,000 square meters and above grew by a staggering 30%. Logistics operators particularly stand out in this space category, accounting for almost half of the registered lease volume. This reflects the fact that many industries appreciate the flexibility offered by logistics operators, especially during periods of economic slowdown. The data also indicates a significant resurgence in market activity among e-commerce companies, which often outsource their operations in Germany to logistics operators.
