Joint study by Fraport AG and NAI apollo provides an overview of the CargoCity North and CargoCity South logistics centres at Frankfurt Airport
Frankfurt am Main, 28.06.2018 – A joint study by Fraport AG and real estate consultancy NAI apollo – partner of the NAI apollo group – found that CargoCity at Frankfurt Airport is an extremely strong logistics location. With a prime rent of more than €20 per sqm, rental prices for logistics spaces in CargoCity tend to be considerably higher than in logistics markets outside the airport. It comes as little surprise that the most important occupants within CargoCity are freight handling companies as well as cargo airlines. The biggest advantages of the location, and the reasons for the high rents, include access to the airport’s main customs office, direct links to the airport and the position of the logistics centre within the Rhine-Main region.
