Christian Fricke, MD of Viva eCom Group comments: “We acquired the logistics and fulfillment center in Butzbach in 2020 as part of a larger M&A transaction within our buy-and-build eCommerce strategy. We are happy to hand-over ownership of the real estate to an experienced investor who will be able to further develop the asset. The proceeds of this transaction will be used to strengthen our balance sheet and finance new growth opportunities.”

Colliers International has been exclusively mandated to conduct the sale process.
