BTS warehouses are very popular with logistics companies and retailers, and e-commerce in particular, where time is of the essence. That’s why locations with convenient transport connections and proximity to motorways or expressways are clearly favoured. Jakub Kurek, Head of Industrial and Warehouse at Newmark Polska described the advantages and challenges of BTS facilities in the warehouse market.

Panattoni takes on another development for ESA Logistika in the Radzymin area. One of the leading logistics operators in the CEE region is to take up 30,000 sqm from the beginning of 2023.

Panattoni has completed an investment in the Warminsko-Mazurskie province. Almost all of Panattoni Park Elbląg's space has been leased to Flex, a global supplier of equipment and technology. The facility is also used by the courier network DPD Polska. 

Industrial and logistics developer CTP has announced the expansion of CTPark Bucharest South through the construction of a new warehouse set to almost double the total leasable area of the project to around 150,000 sqm. 

The Slovak industrial market slowed down slightly due to still rising energy prices and other costs. Developers are more cautious with new constructions and so are foreign investors. This will give an opportunity to local developers and larger companies with a stable background. At the beginning of 2023, 108 Agency Slovakia expects a cooling down of the market.

In Q3 2022, the Czech industrial market grew at a faster pace than at any time previously, adding 511,100 sqm of new modern industrial space to the market. The market stock overtook the level of 10.65 million sqm, further expanding after breaking the 10 million sqm milestone in H1 2022. The vacancy rate decreased to 0.99% for the first time in recorded history, plunging the national average just below 1% of all available space on the market, says Colliers.

C. Hartwig Gdynia, a leading Polish freight forwarding company of the global Rhenus Group, has expanded its lease to occupy a total of 16,100 sqm of warehouse and office space in the Pomeranian Logistics Centre.
