MDC2 has announced the commencement of the development of an industrial and logistics park - MDC2 Park Gdańsk East in Koszwały near Gdańsk. It will offer 84,000 sqm in the first phase within a single building. The project is located on the S7 expressway, directly at the Żuławy Zachód junction.
"We are embarking on this investment with great enthusiasm. The completion of the S7 route renovation, the proximity to the Tricity agglomeration and the availability of labour from the Elbląg area and surrounding areas are what make MDC2 Park Gdańsk East attractive. In addition, the dynamic development of the maritime infrastructure and the growing demand for logistics services in the region make this location an ideal choice for tenants", says Wojciech Kosiór, Head of Development, MDC2.
MDC2 Park Gdańsk East will be built in the town of Koszwały, located 6.5 kilometres east of the Gdańsk border, near the Żuławy Zachód junction (S7 route). The built-up area will be 84,000 sqm within one building. The preparatory works on site are planned to commence in 2025. The storage height will be 12 metres, enabling the efficient use of space and optimisation of storage processes, which will contribute to increased operational efficiency.
As far as the operation of the building is concerned, MDC2 guarantees extensive energy-saving solutions for tenants i.e.: increased wall insulation, roofs suitable for the installation of solar panels, chargers for electric cars and systems responsible for monitoring utility consumption or rainwater retention. In addition, biodiversity areas, relaxation zones, and mini-sports facilities will be created around the buildings.
Tricity is one of the key regional logistics markets in Poland. Gdańsk, the coastal metropolis with Sopot and Gdynia making up the agglomeration, has great economic potential, offering favourable conditions for business development. The favourable geographical location and the dynamic development of port infrastructure make the region increasingly attractive for international trade and maritime logistics companies. The market is of interest to tenants, and its growth fosters global trade.
Logistics and industrial activity in the region are created by a strong local consumer market, a developing highway network and access to the Baltic Hub Container Terminal located just 18 km away from the project in Koszwały. The Gdańsk terminal handled more than 600 ships in 2023, including 105 ocean-going vessels, some of the largest in the world. In the past year, a total of more than 6,700 trains were handled on the siding at the Baltic Hub. Lorry traffic has also had a significant impact, reaching over 580,000 vehicles in 2024. The volume of goods handled is growing steadily.
The Tricity region holds significant potential for expanding warehouse and logistics infrastructure. In Q3 2024, the total warehouse space in the Tri-City was approximately 1.65 million sqm. Meanwhile, in Poland's largest market, Warsaw, space amounted to 7.12 million sqm.
