LIP Invest Expands Management Team with Appointment of Alexander Decker as Authorized Signatory

LIP Invest, a specialist in logistics real estate funds in Germany, has appointed Alexander Decker as Authorized Signatory, strengthening its management structure as part of its growth strategy. The management team, led by Managing Partner Sebastian Betz, now comprises five members, supported by additional new hires across the company.

Decker, who joined LIP in 2021, has served as Director of Asset Management for the past two years, leading an eight-member team overseeing a logistics portfolio valued at just under €2 billion. He will continue to oversee both technical and commercial asset management while taking responsibility for special projects, including the company’s photovoltaic strategy and the rollout of charging infrastructure and battery storage systems at logistics sites.

Betz praised the promotion, describing Decker as a driving force behind internal process efficiency and innovation in energy and mobility solutions. “His combination of commercial and technical expertise, along with his commitment and forward-looking approach, makes him an ideal addition to our management team,” Betz said.

The LIP Asset Management Team currently manages 63 logistics properties and recently expanded its portfolio with two acquisitions. For its ongoing Logistics Fund 5, the company aims to acquire between 10 and 15 properties with a minimum investment volume of €350 million.

Commenting on his new role, Decker emphasised the importance of continuous portfolio optimisation. “Our core properties must evolve to meet modern requirements. As specialists in logistics real estate, we are consistently developing our assets in line with user needs, from energy-efficient refurbishments to site expansions,” he said.

The expansion of the management team underlines LIP’s focus on both portfolio growth and adapting its assets to meet rising sustainability and user demands in the logistics sector.
