REWE

When REWE expanded its reach, we stocked the shelves before they arrived.

At several VGP Parks in Germany and Austria, we provide all the ingredients the grocery retailer REWE needs. From cold storage to offices and social spaces, the sites nourish REWE’s long-term growth. On this page, we zoom in on two of the REWE projects. In the video, you can see REWE’s operations in VGP Park Laxenburg, in Vienna, Austria. And further on you can read about the challenges and solutions of the development of REWE’s premises in VGP Park Magdeburg, Germany.

VGP Park Magdeburg

Challenge

Balancing size, site, and speed

This project showed that the construction of a site for one of Germany’s leading grocery retailers poses special challenges. In addition to its sheer size, the site itself also contributed to the project being particularly challenging. During construction, we had to ensure close coordination with all stakeholders. This went beyond the reconciliation of interests we are used at VGP. Entering a new area with a large-scale project on a short planning horizon required us to bring in all our experience.

VGP's Response

Engineered for complexity, delivered with precision

We delivered REWE’s fully customized, move-in-ready facility just in time, demonstrating VGP’s capacity to deliver on demanding projects with speed, resilience, and attention to operational detail. Through the provision outside rest areas and a furnished terrace, we ensured employee well-being. It testifies our approach of accounting not just for the environment, but for people.

Sustainability anchored in every detail

Regarding sustainability, we are proud to have merited a DGNB Gold certification through a variety of measures. Among them are its rooftop photovoltaic system, rainwater infiltration on the plot and DGNB-compliant materials ensuring good indoor air quality. As well, biodiversity implementations and support throughout the process of greening the area were provided.

The park demonstrates a commitment to biodiversity conservation, aligning with EU Taxonomy objectives. Integrated ecological measures include 28 hectares of destinated habitat for European field hamster protection, wildlife corridors built with native trees and shrubs, permeable surfaces in the park to enhance rainwater infiltration and pollinator and habitat support for birds and insects.
