Comprehensive ESG and TDD Advisory for Ofi Invest. Real Estate | DHL Portfolio

For the acquisition of two modern logistics assets in Cologne (approx. 6,800 sqm) and Kleinmachnow (approx. 8,100 sqm), both completed in 2016, TA Europe delivered a Technical Due Diligence combined with an integrated ESG scope.

The assignment included, among other elements, an assessment of alignment with the EU Taxonomy, a climate risk and vulnerability analysis, a BREEAM-DE-In-Use rapid check, a stranded-asset assessment including optimisation pathways, and an integrated review of CAPEX and OPEX implications. By closely aligning technical due diligence and ESG analysis, the technical condition of the buildings, regulatory sustainability requirements, and the assets’ future resilience were assessed consistently within a single advisory framework.

Following the transaction phase, TA Europe also supported the BREEAM-DE-In-Use certification process for both properties. This approach demonstrated how value-enhancing sustainability measures can be identified as early as the due diligence stage and subsequently transferred efficiently into implementation. In 2025, TA Europe further supported the full execution and submission of the BREEAM certification process, ensuring that the measures developed during due diligence were applied directly and seamlessly translated into formal certification.
