Panattoni is to open up a new warehouse market in Central Poland. The developer has purchased a site in Pabianice, where it plans to deliver a park with a total area of ​​95,000 sqm. The first building is to be completed this June and has already been leased by one of the leading electronic store chains in Poland. Panattoni Park Pabianice will be situated close to the S14 expressway, just 35 km from the junction of the A1 and A2 motorways, which means efficient distribution to markets across Poland. The three-building complex is to undergo BREEAM certification at the ‘Excellent’ level.

Industrial developer CTP reported a net profit of €1 billion in 2021, up 306% year-on-year over expansion across the Central and Eastern Europe markets and increasing demand for warehouse space. 

Panattoni Park Košice Aiport has expanded by a second hall. The first tenants have already taken over the area of around 6,300 sqm. The nearly 20,000 sqm hall was built by developer Panattoni in cooperation with investor Accolade. Erik Ivaničko, Panattoni's director for Slovakia, told the TASR news agency that the investment in the construction of the new hall is about € 17 million.

The logistics arm of Biggeorge Property will start a huge project on the outskirts of Budapest, the company announced on LinkedIn. The complex is aimed to serve different clients with different needs. 

Warehouse developer LCube is planning to acquire a minimum of four new sites this year. This will mean it will double the number of its current projects.

The pan-European real estate investment manager will invest in the logistics sector in partnership with White Star Real Estate.

Polish warehouse developer MLP Group signed 48 contracts last year to lease a total of nearly 300,000 sqm of warehouse space, approximately 50% more than in the preceding year. The property portfolio managed by MLP Group has already exceeded 1 million sqm, with a further 2 million sqm under development.

A new 21,000 sqm logistics park is under construction in the town of Valašské Meziříčí, located in the east of the Czech Republic. The third fund of the Arete Group is now starting construction with an investment of over €15 million. According to the investor´s plans, the first tenants will move in by the end of this year, the company reports on logistikadnes.

Panattoni is developing its fourth park in Bydgoszcz. The new complex will eventually comprise three buildings with a total area of more than 110,000 sqm. One is to be entirely occupied by Belma Accessories Systems, a Polish company owned by the Kurkus Holding capital group.

The warehouse and logistics space sector in Poland maintained its high growth rate in 2021. The results included, among others, record amounts of new space delivered to the market, a record number of square metres under construction, as well as a record demand. Summing up last year, experts from BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland highlight the influence of e-commerce on the situation of the whole sector, the increasing interest of logisticians, developers and investors in ecological issues. They also point out the bottlenecks such as rising construction costs, difficulties in materials supply, limited land availability and increasing shortage of qualified workers.
