Logistics developer Panattoni Europe has started construction of a new 12,400-m2 warehouse facility for Rudolph Logistik Group in Germany.

The project, which will expand Rudolph's existing presence in Lorsch, Germany, is being developed as part of the joint venture between Panattoni Europe and Pramerica Real Estate Investors.

The facility is scheduled for completion in summer 2012. Jones Lang LaSalle provided brokerage services for the transaction.

'We are delighted to expand our presence in Germany, which plays a key role in our overall European operating platform. We are in advanced stages of negotiations with several other German projects and look forward to additional announcements in the coming months,' said Jean van Hecke, managing director for Panattoni Europe.
