multicube Berlin – the first Brownfield multicube on the outskirts of Berlin
Not far from the German capital and the production site of a renowned electric vehicle manufacturer, the multicube Berlin was established in 2023. This logistics center is the first Brownfield multicube of the pfenning group and represents an important milestone in the company’s history. Located just minutes from Grünheide, an existing hall, which was used for powder coating for years, was restored and expanded into a state-of-the-art multicube. The result is a logistics center that combines the USPs of the past with modern facilities.
With a total storage area of 18,500 m² and various industrial features such as double-girder overhead cranes and hoists for heavy loads, the multicube Berlin is ideally suited for the automotive and industrial sectors. However, customers from other industries can also benefit from the storage potential: WGK areas (water hazard class) ensure that chemical or pharmaceutical products can also find a new home in Berlin-Herzfelde. And sustainability in a Brownfield project? By upgrading already used areas, soil sealing is minimized, and the environment is actively protected. The standard photovoltaic system on the roof, used for the production and self-consumption of green electricity, completes the overall picture.

Past and Future
Where multicube is on the label, multicube is inside: The first Brownfield multicube was also developed true to the multicube concept. Brownfield facilities are decommissioned areas or structures that were often previously used for industrial purposes and are repurposed for a new use. In contrast, Greenfield facilities are newly developed areas that require sealing off previously untouched land. The first Brownfield facility seamlessly fits into the sustainability concept of the pfenning group. Together with the rooftop solar system and the production of self-generated green electricity, the location in Berlin-Herzfelde is a flagship for new logistics constructions.
Strategic logistics space for automotive and industrial sectors
What makes the multicube Berlin so special is its location and equipment. Just a few minutes away from the factory of a globally renowned electric vehicle manufacturer, the first Brownfield multicube of the pfenning group is strategically positioned. With excellent connections to highways, waterways, and an airport, all modes of transportation are within a few minutes’ reach in Berlin-Herzfelde. Particularly interesting for the automotive and industrial sectors is the specialized equipment, which is unusual for a logistics hall. A total of four double-girder overhead cranes, which can be operated in tandem, as well as five hoists with a lifting capacity of 32 tons, provide ideal conditions for handling heavy loads.

What makes the multicube concept so special?
Each multicube is divided into several hall modules, allowing different product and trade sectors, such as chemicals, food, or pharmaceuticals, to be consolidated at a single location. This is made possible by individual modules that are completely separable from one another. This design enables us to offer our customers fully customized cost accounting. Additionally, the multi-user concept ensures significant cost optimization. Multiple customers with different product sectors can share the spaces, meaning they are not the sole cost bearers. Moreover, the logistics spaces impress with a high degree of customization as well as efficient and state-of-the-art IT management. Whether you are looking for a central location for your warehouse or an alternative space for promotional or seasonal goods, your concepts have a place in our multicubes.
