Panattoni revitalises former test site in the Bavarian city Eltmann

Where cars and motorcycles were once tested starting in the mid-80's, the Panattoni Park Unterfranken will be built in the coming year. The project developer, Panattoni Germany will realise a modern, sustainable and multifunctional commercial property with a high degree of flexibility and third-party usability on the approximately 39,700 m² property in Eltmann in the Lower Franconian District of Haßberge, Bavaria.

With a direction connection to the A70 motorway, the new Panattoni Park Unterfranken is conveniently located between Schweinfurt and Bamberg. The property also has good connections to public transit. The driving time from the Ebelsbach-Eltmann regional railway station to the main station in Würzburg is around 60 minutes and, to Bamberg, 26 minutes. The commercial property is particularly suited for companies from the light industrial and logistics segments as well as contract-based logistics, automotive, eCommerce and trade.

The design plans for approx. 19,500 m² of hall space, 880 m² of office and social spaces and approx. 1,400 m² of mezzanine space. The hall offers space for up to 80 employees and can be flexibly subdivided into two self-sufficient sections. There will be 48 passenger vehicle and 4 lorry parking spaces.

To be able to utilise the Brownfield for the planned Panattoni Park, the surface has to be unsealed. Panattoni aims to obtain at least the DGNB gold standard for the new construction project. As is the case with most Panattoni projects, a photovoltaic system is installed on the 19.500 m² roof. In addition to a smart metering system and the fossil-free heating of the entire building via a heat pump, rainwater will be collected and used to irrigate the outdoor premises and as toilet flushing water. Well-being areas for the well-being of the future employees and a natural design of the exterior premises with wildflower meadows and beehives are planned. There will also be charging stations for eMobility.

“We see great potential for economic growth in Eltmann. That is why it is particularly important to us that the fallow Brownfield be transformed in a profitable manner for the region and local companies,” says Fred-Markus Bohne, Managing Partner Panattoni Germany and Austria. We are building a state-of-the-art property for sustainable entrepreneurship on the former test strip.”

Michael Ziegler, Mayor of the City of Eltmann, adds: “It was important to Panattoni from the start that the city and region’s interests be taken into account. That is why intensive and constructive discussions were conducted with us in advance. This way, we can ensure that the new commercial property project will constitute a benefit to our district - financially, socially and ecologically.”

Construction is slated to start in the first quarter of 2025, completion in the end of 2025. BNP Paribas Real Estate, which brokered the property deal, will also handle the marketing of the property.
