The Levi Strauss & Co. European Distribution Center in Dorsten, Ruhr area, has been recognised with the prestigious Logix Award 2025 for logistics real estate. Completed in October 2023, the LEED Platinum-certified building spans approximately 73,000 square meters and is a pioneering example of sustainable logistics development.
Delta Development Germany, the project's developer, expressed delight in winning the award. The winning project is the first logistics real estate development in Germany designed according to the Cradle-to-Cradle philosophy, focusing on the circular economy.
