Hogan Lovells advises Cain on the acquisition of a development site in Germany

The site will be redeveloped on a speculative basis to encompass approximately 57,000 sqm of Grade-A logistics space built to a DGNB Platinum standard. Construction is scheduled to commence in mid-2026 with project completion targeted for 2027. This acquisition represents Cain’s tenth speculative logistics development in Europe and fourth in Germany, further enhancing its growing logistics portfolio valued at over €1.5 billion across core European markets.

The development will be delivered by NVELOP Real Estate, a specialist in logistics, industrial, and data centre properties.

Hogan Lovells provided legal counsel on the transaction and contractual negotiations, ensuring a smooth acquisition process.
