Mass Business Closures Loom in Stahnsdorf's Green Park as Prologis Plans Redevelopment

Approximately 100 businesses in Green Park, Stahnsdorf, face eviction due to lease terminations connected to plans by Prologis to construct a logistics center. The redevelopment involves demolishing existing structures that have housed these businesses, many of which date back to the 1960s.

Prologis intends to develop a logistics hub covering around 97,000 square meters, which has raised concerns among local business owners regarding the loss of affordable rental spaces. Olaf Binek, chairman of the regional business association, has indicated that over 500 jobs are at risk due to these closures, with local leaders anticipating legal disputes over the validity of the lease terminations.

A municipal meeting is scheduled to address the implications of this transition, with local politicians expressing reservations about whether the shift to a logistics center aligns with community needs. Additionally, concerns have emerged regarding the potential impact on local tax revenue, as many businesses delivering vital contributions to the economy are set to leave. Despite these concerns, some local officials argue that expected tax revenues from Prologis could surpass current figures. The final businesses are anticipated to vacate by summer 2026, leaving the future of the Green Park in question.
