Solago expands in Düsseldorf with 18,000 sqm logistics lease brokered by Logivest

Solar start-up Solago is continuing its rapid growth with a move into a new logistics facility in Düsseldorf-Reisholz. Real estate consultancy Logivest has brokered the lease of approximately 18,000 square metres of combined warehouse and office space within “the tube”, a recently completed industrial and commercial park developed by Frasers Property Industrial.

Founded in 2022 by Janik Nolden, Julian Dienst, and Kevin Malek, Solago has quickly positioned itself as a leading online provider of solar energy systems. The company offers a range of products, from compact balcony solar kits to full-scale rooftop photovoltaic installations.

In response to rising demand, Solago sought a larger and strategically located site near its current base in Hilden. Logivest identified a suitable unit within “the tube”, securing roughly 17,000 square metres of warehouse space, including a mezzanine level, and 1,100 square metres for office and social use.

The site is located on the grounds of the former Vallourec Röhrenwerke and benefits from strong transport connectivity. Situated near the Düsseldorf Süd motorway junction, it offers access to the A46 and A59 motorways, and is also served by the local S-Bahn network—an important factor for Solago’s current workforce of around 100 employees. The facility supports efficient logistics operations with features such as ramps, ground-level loading bays, and sprinter gates.

Sustainability was a key criterion in the decision. The building aims to achieve DGNB Platinum certification and is equipped with a rooftop photovoltaic system, a modern heat pump-based heating solution, and smart metering technology for precise energy monitoring and optimisation.

“We found in ‘the tube’ a location that not only supports Solago’s expansion plans but also reflects the founding team’s values: sustainable, flexible, and forward-looking,” said Thomas Schmidt, Managing Director of Logivest NRW GmbH. “With its strategic position in Düsseldorf – a key junction between the Ruhr region and wider North Rhine-Westphalia – the site offers strong access to national and European markets.”
