A landmark logistics development by Logicenters, GARBE Industrial Real Estate and Urban Partners at the Port of Straubing-Sand in Germany has been named a finalist for the MIPIM Awards 2026 in the category Best Industrial & Logistics Project.
The project – set to become Europe’s largest timber-built logistics facility – is one of four finalists in the category. The winners will be announced on 12 March 2026 during the MIPIM Awards ceremony at MIPIM in Cannes, France.
Designed with sustainability at its core, the project sets a new benchmark for low-carbon logistics developments. The building’s structural timber and façade materials are sourced from sustainably managed forests in Austria and Bavaria. The project also incorporates circular construction principles, with demountable structures that allow the building to be dismantled and potentially rebuilt elsewhere in the future.
Additional sustainability features include a green roof, photovoltaic installation and energy-efficient LED lighting. Heating will be provided by a climate-friendly air-to-air heat pump, enabling the building to operate without fossil fuels.
The development is targeting DGNB Gold certification from the German Sustainable Building Council.
Being named a finalist for the MIPIM Awards highlights the project’s ambition to combine large-scale logistics functionality with innovative and sustainable construction.
