Vienna [13.06.2025] – VGP, a pan-European owner, manager and developer of highquality logistics and semi-industrial properties as well as a provider of renewable energy solutions, has handed over the key to the new site at the newly built VGP Park Laxenburg to Toyota Material Handling Austria. Construction work on the new Toyota Material Handling headquarters began in summer 2024 and the company will officially open its new headquarters
for Austria there in mid-2025.
The unit, built according to the “built-to-suit” principle, includes storage areas, a workshop, an experience center as well as office, social and technical areas on three levels. This means that VGP Park Laxenburg already has a 90 percent occupancy rate. "We can adapt our properties individually to the needs of our customers. This flexibility is requested and appreciated," says Markus Gollob, Country Manager of VGP in Austria.
For Toyota Material Handling Austria, in addition to this flexibility, the convenient location and modern facilities were decisive factors. Great importance is also attached to sustainability and energy efficiency: "Toyota Material Handling Austria is breaking new ground in the area of power supply: the entire site is supplied with 100 percent green electricity, which is generated from wind and solar energy in Burgenland and provided by Ökostrom AG. Thanks to a comprehensive energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001, all major consumers can be monitored and energy efficiency can be continuously improved,“ explains Oskar Zettl, Managing Director of Toyota Material Handling Austria, and continues: ”This system makes it possible to record energy consumption at 15-minute intervals and develop optimization programs based on this to further reduce consumption each year. The Austrian headquarters is thus committed to reducing CO2 emissions as part of Toyota Material Handling Europe's Net Zero program."
Focus on sustainability: EU taxonomy, ÖGNI Gold and photovoltaic system
VGP Park Laxenburg is strategically located in the prime industrial area of Lower Austria South, conveniently situated 25 km from the center of Vienna and with direct access to the A2 motorway. VGP Park Laxenburg consists of two halls, with Hall A completed and handed over to a tenant in summer 2024. Hall B is divided into four units, three of which have already been let and handed over. Tenants in Laxenburg include companies from the retail, pharmaceutical and logistics sectors. One unit with around 4,700 m² is currently still available. The site area of the park is around 120,000 m², with a built-up area of 49,000 m². VGP's aim is to implement all properties in accordance with the EU Taxonomy Regulation. In addition, the park has been awarded the ÖGNI Gold sustainability certificate. VGP also attaches great importance to the design of the outdoor area: Around 300 trees will be planted in VGP Park Laxenburg and numerous new green areas will be created - creating a total of almost 39,000 m² of green space on the site. In addition, a photovoltaic system was installed on Halls A and B at VGP Park Laxenburg in cooperation with Nikko Photovoltaik from Baden, which ensures an environmentally friendly and economical energy supply. The collector areas each cover 680 m² and have a peak module output of 146.2 kWp. Around 150,000 kWh of solar power can be generated each year.
