Management to support German market growth

MLP Group, a leading developer active on the European warehouse property


market, is strengthening its German team. Taking on the role of Head of Asset &
Property Management, Sebastian Schiffer will oversee the management of MLP
Group’s property portfolio and administration of its facilities on the German
market.

Sebastian Schiffer will support MLP Group’s vigorous growth in Germany. His responsibilities as the
Head of Asset & Property Management will include managing the property portfolio, with a key focus
on coordinating the facility administration, providing support to tenants and leasing of space.

With 18 years of experience in asset management within the commercial real estate sector of
Germany and Europe, Sebastian Schiffer brings a wealth of expertise to MLP Group. His professional
journey includes roles at GPT Halverton GmbH, Apollo asset management chartered surveyors GmbH,
Goodman Germany GmbH and Provinzial Rheinland Versicherung AG. Most recently, he contributed

“MLP Group takes a well-rounded approach to growth, focusing on sustainability. What sets it apart
from other players is the ‘build and hold’ strategy with respect to the property portfolio. This approach
is highly valued by tenants, who receive comprehensive support throughout the lease term. In my
new role, I intend to maintain a client-centric mindset, driving continued strong growth of the
property portfolio," said Sebastian Schiffer, Head of Asset & Property Management.

“We've been actively growing our presence in the real estate market of the DACH region
(encompassing Germany, Austria and Switzerland) since 2017. Ongoing projects include five business
and logistics parks in Germany and one in Austria, with more developments in the pipeline. Strong
expansion of the scale of our projects is coupled with a reinforcement of our team. Sebastian Schiffer
brings with him extensive experience in asset and property management on the logistics and
commercial real estate market, making him a valuable addition to our team. His expertise will play a
crucial role in supporting MLP Group’s expansion in Germany, a market of strategic importance to us,"
stressed Martin Birkert, Country Manager Germany.

“Germany is the largest and most important market for warehouse property in Europe. Our approach
is to consistently launch new projects in that country. We are just about to commence work on MLP
Spreenhagen, our second development near Berlin. Further projects in the pipeline include MLP
Business Park Schalke in Gelsenkirchen and MLP Idstein. We are also in advanced negotiations for the
purchase of additional land in Hesse and the North Rhine-Westphalia region. This expansion solidifies
our position among the forefront of developers active in the European warehouse property market,”
stated Radosław T. Krochta, President of the MLP Group Management Board.

Germany is a strategic direction of MLP Group’s foreign expansion plans, with assets built in the DACH
region expected to represent approximately 50% of the Group’s overall property portfolio within
several years. MLP Group prioritises sustainable development, and its standard is to have all newly
built facilities on the German market DGNB certified as Gold or Platinum. The goal is to achieve
environmental sustainability and a net zero carbon footprint by 2026.
