GARBE Industrial Real Estate Poland

What GARBE Industrial Real Estate Poland does

GARBE Industrial Real Estate Poland is a Polish local subsidiary (founded 2021, headquartered in Warsaw) of the GARBE group (GuN Holding GmbH & Co. KG), a German family-owned real estate company founded in 1965 in Hamburg. The Polish entity operates as part of GARBE's pan-European logistics and industrial real estate platform, contributing to the group's coverage of 21 offices across 14 countries with approximately 600 professionals and more than EUR 15 billion in assets under management.

The broader GARBE group is organized into three business units: GARBE Industrial (logistics, light-industrial, and data center sheds), GARBE Reside (residential and commercial living), and GARBE Infrastructure (renewable energy and engineering services). Its underlying platform spans the full real estate value chain — development, ownership, asset management, and capital advisory — with GARBE Capital & Strategy providing institutional fund advisory. The technology stack is conventional real estate: site acquisition, planning, construction management, leasing, and fund administration under the proprietary "Sustainonomics" sustainability framework. The Polish subsidiary supports this platform by originating and managing logistics assets in Central Europe.

GARBE generates revenue through real estate development fees, asset management fees on EUR 15B+ AUM, transaction and leasing fees, institutional capital advisory mandates via GARBE Capital & Strategy, and energy services through GARBE Infrastructure. Customer segments are predominantly B2B: enterprise logistics tenants (Schenker, Amazon, Decathlon, IKEA, Alphabet/Google for the Hanau data center), institutional capital partners, and — increasingly — hospitality operators such as B&B Hotels. Pricing is bespoke and project-based for development deals and recurring (basis-point) for asset management mandates.
