ABG Real Estate Group is expanding its activities into the market for logistics real estate through its investment management entity ABG Capital.
ABG Capital will enter into a strategic partnership with Dietz AG based in Bensheim for this purpose. The partnership is being launched with the acquisition of the Kerpen Logistics Centre on behalf of a club of professional pension funds. The total investment volume is approximately €115 million ($115.31 million).

ABG Capital will acquire the majority of shares in the logistics center by way of a share deal – Dietz AG will continue to hold a minority stake in the company and will remain significantly involved in asset manage
