"I welcome Garbe Industrial Real Estate GmbH's takeover and development of the industrial site, which has been derelict for years. My Head of Building, Mr. Tacke, my Head of Economic Affairs, Mr. Bohling, and I personally were involved in the confidential talks between the investor and ALSTOM as the landowner from the very beginning and actively accompanied these talks and negotiations as the responsible building permit authority."

"What I find particularly positive about this major investment project is that, in line with the investor's corporate philosophy, the industrial brownfield site will be realized in compliance with ESG criteria and with the highest sustainability standards. A photovoltaic system will be installed on the entire roof area to generate renewable energy. Several green areas are planned on the site. In addition, fossil fuels will not be used to supply the logistics property. The revitalization of this industrial site, which has been derelict for many years, will greatly enhance the value of the land and increase previously unused land reserves without further land sealing. The landowner ALSTOM and the city of Salzgitter had been pursuing this goal together for a long time. So together we are creating another important settlement project. I would like to thank all those involved for bringing this project to completion in the shortest possible time in a consistent and targeted manner."
