Construction of Panattoni Park completed on the site of the former Clouth facility, yet logistical challenges persist
The Panattoni Park Offenbach, a new logistics development, is set to transform a former industrial site in the Offenbach district of Bieber-Waldhof. The project, which will be developed in close coordination with the city of Offenbach, is strategically located near the B448 federal road and approximately 5 kilometers from the A3 motorway[1][3].
The development aims to cater to companies in the Light Industrial, Last Mile, Logistics, and E-Commerce sectors, providing approximately 10,600 square meters of rentable space, divided across two buildings, each with approximately 4,428 square meters of hall space[1]. The project's central location and excellent transportation links make it an ideal choice for economic growth, as emphasized by Bohne[1].
The land for the project was brokered by PrimeLog Real Estate GmbH, and the development was discussed at the MIPIM 2025 real estate trade fair in Cannes. During the fair, Panattoni representatives held talks with Mayor Schwenke and Bozica Niermann, head of economic development, reaffirming the importance of the project for Offenbach's economic future[1][3].
The Panattoni Park Offenbach will be constructed on the site of the former Alfred Clouth Paint Factory, with demolition of the old buildings scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025, and construction starting in the first quarter of 2026[3]. Although specific sustainable features of the Panattoni Park Offenbach have not been detailed explicitly, Panattoni's commitment to sustainability is evident in its other recent projects, which have included heat pumps, rainwater management systems, green roofs, bicycle shelters, and solar panels[2].
In line with this commitment, the Panattoni Park Offenbach will feature a large photovoltaic system, fossil-free heating using heat pumps, smart metering systems, and electric vehicle charging stations. The development will also include a wildflower meadow and the preservation of trees in the front area of the site, as part of its ecological concept[3].
The Panattoni Park Offenbach offers convenient public transportation connections via a nearby bus stop and Offenbach-Waldhof train station, ensuring easy access for both employees and visitors[1]. Frankfurt city center is 14 kilometers away, and Frankfurt Airport is 22 kilometers away from the Panattoni Park Offenbach, providing excellent connectivity for businesses[1].
The development is well-connected to the region's transportation network, offering a strategic location for companies in the Rhine-Main region. Both sides emphasize the constructive cooperation between the city of Offenbach and Panattoni for the development of the Panattoni Park Offenbach, marking an exciting step forward for economic growth and sustainable real estate solutions in the region.
