MLP Group has commenced construction work at MLP Business Park Schalke. This sustainable business park with a leasable area exceeding 72,000 sqm is being built on the site of the former Thyssen factory and has been designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises. The general contractor for the investment is the company Bremer.

MLP Group has officially begun construction of MLP Business Park Schalke in Gelsenkirchen, in North Rhine-Westphalia. The modern business park is being built in the Schalke-Nord district on the site of the former Thyssen factory, which has remained largely undeveloped in recent years. In cooperation with the City of Gelsenkirchen, modern spaces are being created, tailored primarily to the needs of small and medium-sized companies.

The new investment will make a significant contribution to the urban development of the region, supporting the goals of the Integrated Development Concept for Schalke-Nord and contributing to the revitalization of the district. On an area of approximately 12 hectares, more than 72,000 sqm of flexible leasable space will be created, meeting the high sustainability standards of MLP Group. The buildings will be constructed using resource-saving solutions and will be equipped with modern offices, social spaces, and attractive green areas that will provide comfortable working conditions and relaxation zones conducive to integration.

– The MLP Business Park Schalke project gives us another opportunity to demonstrate our competence as a general contractor in the implementation of revitalization projects. Thanks to a well-developed concept and harmonious integration into the surroundings, this space will be not only ecologically but also socially sustainable. We thank MLP Group for the fruitful cooperation and look forward to the further implementation of the project – said Florian Röhrs, authorized representative – Head of Acquisition/Calculation at Bremer.

– MLP Business Park Schalke is a project that will significantly contribute to the economic and urban development of our district. By revitalizing a previously unused industrial site, MLP Group is not only creating necessary space for new businesses but also opening up new perspectives for the northern part of Schalke. We are pleased that an investment will be created on this historic site that will become another pillar for the future of trade and industry in Gelsenkirchen – emphasized Karin Welge, Mayor of the City of Gelsenkirchen.

– The start of construction work marks a key stage in the development of MLP Business Park Schalke. We are pleased with the fruitful cooperation with all involved parties and look forward to the further implementation of the project, which will contribute to the revitalization of this area through modern industrial use. The modern business park will create new perspectives for small and medium-sized companies while making a lasting contribution to the development of the regional economy – said Martin Birkert, Chief Country Officer Germany at MLP Group.

Germany is our strategic direction for expansion. It is the largest market in Europe with still gigantic growth potential. Recently, we successfully conducted our first offering of green senior bonds worth 300 million euros. We will allocate a large portion of the acquired funds to further development in this very country – emphasized Radosław T. Krochta, President of the Management Board of MLP Group S.A.

Completion of the construction of the first warehouse with an area of approximately 30,000 sqm is planned for the fourth quarter of 2025.
