Logistics Region Cologne
Cologne is a junction of road, rail, Rhine shipping and air cargo at the heart of one of Europe's most affluent conurbations. Industry, retail and express logistics create broad demand for modern logistics space.
Location and access
Cologne lies on the Rhine in the European north-south corridor. The motorway ring and the A61 connect to the Ruhr, Rhine-Main, Benelux and France. Cologne/Bonn Airport is one of Germany's largest cargo airports. The Niehl and Godorf ports and the Eifeltor intermodal terminal complete the offer.
Demand
The automotive industry, the chemical parks in Leverkusen and Dormagen and the refineries south of Cologne form the industrial base. One of Germany's largest retail groups is headquartered here. E-commerce, parcel and express operators use the airport as a hub.
Clusters
In the north, Niehl port and adjoining industrial estates form a central cluster. The south concentrates on Eifeltor, Godorf and Wesseling. Porz, Troisdorf and Lohmar focus on air cargo. West of the city, Frechen, Hürth, Kerpen and Bergheim on the A4 and A61 have become locations for large-scale distribution.
Outlook
With the coal exit, new commercial and industrial land is emerging in the Rhenish mining area west of Cologne, adding capacity to a tight market. Air cargo and express continue to grow. Within the city, urban last-mile logistics is gaining importance.
„Cologne combines air freight, Rhine shipping and rail in one location, at the centre of one of Europe's strongest consumer markets. Structural change in the Rhenish mining area will create compelling opportunities for occupiers and investors in the years ahead.“
