Gewerbegebiete

What Gewerbegebiete does

Gewerbegebiete.de is a Germany-wide online settlement platform that catalogs commercial and industrial areas, individual logistics and production properties, and logistics service providers, and connects them with companies seeking new or expanded locations. Operated by Munich-based Logivest GmbH since its September 2015 launch, the platform aggregates more than 6,000 commercial areas, 1,300+ properties, and roughly 900 logistics providers, exposing standardized infrastructure, economic, and geographic data via web and native iOS/Android apps with map-based radius search. The customer base spans logistics, manufacturing, and retail/trading firms as demand-side users, with municipalities and economic development agencies acting as supply-side listers; secondary segments include craft businesses, real estate investors, and developers. The Logivest Group ecosystem adds adjacent services such as the Logivisor sub-brand for managed warehouse space across Europe and the annually held LogiVisor Award for contract logistics providers.

The platform's underlying technology is a cloud-hosted database with map-driven search, proximity filtering, geocoordinates, and a Lead Manager module that uses cookie-based tracking to identify profile visitors for paying listers. It is complemented by a quarterly Logistikimmobilien-Seismograph market report co-published with Fraunhofer SCS, mobile push notifications tied to saved search criteria, and integration with sister consulting entities (Logivest NRW, Stuttgart, Projektmanagement, Concept, and LogiVisor Institute) for offline site selection and due diligence.

Gewerbegebiete.de monetizes through a freemium-plus-subscription model: free Basis-Eintrag listings generate the database and funnel, while Premium-Eintrag subscriptions at €35 per month plus €1 per additional area unlock Lead Manager access, direct contact display, home page linkage, and downloadable marketing collateral on a 12-month auto-renewing contract. Supplemental revenue comes from Ansiedlungsberatung location consulting (a structured 5-step needs analysis to settlement advisory), the Warehousing Module for short-term managed capacity search, sponsored/award-related activities, and the marketing of municipal areas to nationwide investors. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (free self-serve signups) with an enterprise field-sales motion targeting municipalities and large logistics firms, supported by SEO, content marketing, and trade-show presence at Expo Real, transport logistic, BUILDINX, and BVL Supply Chain CX.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Fraunhofer SCS: Research arm of the Fraunhofer Institute specializing in supply chain services and a long-standing partner of Gewerbegebiete.de. Comparable as a producer of logistics real estate market intelligence that the platform monetizes through the Logistikimmobilien-Seismograph newsletter and LoGe study.
• Wirtschaftsförderung (German Economic Development Agencies): Regional and municipal economic development corporations in Germany that market commercial areas directly to investors. Comparable as the supply-side counterpart to Gewerbegebiete.de's demand side, and a channel partner via the platform's Vermarktung service.

Emerging players

• Flowfact: German CRM and marketing software vendor for real estate agents. Comparable as a B2B software enabler for the German real estate industry, intersecting with Gewerbegebiete.de's professional-listener customer base.
• Immobilienscout24: Germany's largest general real estate marketplace. Comparable as a portal/marketplace listing model for German real estate, though its core focus is residential and small commercial rather than industrial areas and logistics real estate.

Direct peers

• Logivest: Parent company of Gewerbegebiete.de and a Munich-based logistics real estate consultancy. Operates the same customer set (corporate site selectors, municipalities) with a service-led rather than platform-led model, making it the most direct comparable.
• Logivisor: Sister platform under Logivest GmbH for logistics provider and warehouse search across Europe. Highly comparable as a sister marketplace addressing the same buyer with adjacent data (warehouses instead of areas), and a potential cross-sell/expansion vector for Gewerbegebiete.de.

Broad incumbents

• Cushman & Wakefield: Global CRE services firm with an active industrial/logistics team in Germany. Comparable on customer overlap (corporate occupiers and investors) while offering a much broader advisory and capital-markets stack.
• CBRE Group: World's largest commercial real estate services firm with substantial German industrial/logistics presence. Directly competes for the same large-logistics-tenant site-selection mandates that Gewerbegebiete.de supports at the SMB end.
• JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle): Global commercial real estate services firm with a German industrial/logistics brokerage practice. Comparable because it targets the same corporate site-selection buyers with deeper advisory and capital-markets capabilities, though its offering spans the full CRE spectrum rather than a focused area-search portal.
• Colliers: International CRE advisory with a German logistics and industrial practice. Overlaps with Gewerbegebiete.de's logistics and production-company buyer base at the enterprise end of the market.
