- The VGP Park Hochheim is being built on a site of 25,000 m²
- Vicampo moves from Ginsheim-Gustavsburg to Hochheim
Düsseldorf, 28 September 2023 – VGP NV (“VGP”), a European owner, manager and developer of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial real estate, has announced the transfer of VGP Park Hochheim to the German online wine merchant Vicampo.
The industrial and commercial park is being built on a site area of around 25,000 m². It will serve as Vicampo's headquarters and modern distribution centre, enabling the company to continue its nationwide expansion and positive business development. The move of the online start-up from the VGP Park Ginsheim-Gustavsburg to Hochheim is planned for the end of the third quarter of 2023.
The VGP Park Hochheim is located in the west of the Rhine-Main region near the A3 federal motorway, which runs from the Dutch border through the Ruhr region, the Cologne area and eastern Bavaria to the Austrian border near Schärding. It connects the Dutch and Belgian North Sea ports with Southern and Eastern Europe and is considered one of the most important European main traffic routes. Furthermore, the logistics location is less than twenty minutes by car from the major German cities of Mainz and Wiesbaden, which, as a transnational double centre with a population of around 500,000, offer a lucrative industrial network and an excellent infrastructure.
Vicampo needs a larger area for its business activities. That is why VGP began developing the approx. 12,000 m² property last year. The building was planned and constructed as a customised solution specifically for Vicampo and provides space for optimised process flows and automation technology. The building is certified according to DGNB Gold. VGP's own teams supervised the project in every performance phase.
In addition to extensive storage space, Vicampo also rents office, social and technical areas, as well as 85 parking spaces.
Christian Fricke, Managing Director of VICAMPO.de GmbH, says: “We are all looking forward to moving into the larger and more modern logistics centre on 1 October 2023. This step will lay the foundation for further growth, as the customised automating technology will ensure even more efficient handling of our B2C wine logistics. With VGP, we have a reliable partner at our side with whom we have a long-standing, trusting relationship. This has also proven itself now with the construction of the new location.”
Darius Scheible, one of the two Germany Managing Directors of VGP, comments on the extended lease: “We are very pleased that the move of our long-time customer Vicampo to a larger space in the new VGP Park Hochheim could be implemented according to the wishes of the customer. We are proud to be able to support Vicampo in its growth and offer customised solutions. The technically state-of-the-art park was built specifically for customers who specialise in online retailing. It will further boost Vicampo's regional and nationwide export business due to its strategic location in the Rhine-Main area.”
