- The Tube is a 14 ha industrial and commercial park with a total of 76,900 sqm of multifunctional space
- The park is 70% leased to customers Pharmaserv, Upway Germany and Woltu
- Frasers Property Industrial is seeking DGNB Platinum certification for the project and has recently received the Brownfield certificate from the German Brownfield Association
Frasers Property Industrial officially opened The Tube in Düsseldorf-Reisholz on 3 April 2025 with 100 guests in attendance including the City of Düsseldorf Economic Development Agency.
The Tube offers a total of eight hall sections spanning 76,900 sqm lettable area with a wide range of usage options for companies in the industrial, production, retail and logistics sectors. Only 30% of space remains available as leases have been secured with leading ecommerce businesses Pharmaserv, Upway Germany and Woltu.
The revitalisation of the former Vallourec site took 18 months to deliver in collaboration with general contractor Goldbeck International. The development has been awarded the Brownfield Certificate by the German Brownfield Association.
The demolition on site was an industry first, carried out by Prangenberg & Zaum GmbH and H. Herzog KG. It included recycling 70,000 tonnes of demolition material on site as well as 12,500 tonnes of raw material, mainly steel. This waste reduction led to a decrease of more than 6,000 truck movements, reducing CO2 emissions and minimising the environmental impact caused by noise, dust and vehicle movements. Frasers Property Industrial is targeting the first-ever Gold certification for Building Demolition by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) for its demolition.
Alexander Heubes, Managing Director Europe of Frasers Property Industrial, said: "We are delighted to open The Tube and welcome Pharmaserv, Upway Germany and Woltu to their new spaces. The Tube is setting new standards for sustainability for industrial developments and we’re pleased to be making an impact to the local region. With this development, we have preserved a slice of Düsseldorf’s rich industrial history while also breathing new life into the site by creating modern and sustainable spaces for companies to reach their goals.”
Annette Klerks, City of Düsseldorf Economic Development Agency, said: "The transformation of this industrial site is an impressive example of how a historical manufacturing location can be upgraded for modern and sustainable use. With the new development, the site remains a place of industrial and commercial value creation and secures jobs. The fact that it has succeeded in attracting new companies and further developing the site is an important step for the economic future of the city and region."
The project, which is also seeking the DGNB Platinum for New Construction certification, comprises a large-scale 6,039MWh photovoltaic system with 14,600 solar panels installed on the roofs of the halls, a modern heating system based on heat pump technology and a smart metering system, ensuring an energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly supply.
The design of the outdoor areas supports the modern working environment and social aspects, providing recreational areas as well as space for sporting activities, such as fitness and table tennis areas, all contributing to the value of the site for employees.
