Panattoni has purchased a land plot where it is to build Panattoni Park Kraków East V. The launch of construction work is scheduled for October and the park’s first tenant – Highway Automotive – has already been found.


The developer continues to grow its portfolio of Kraków properties and has purchased a 9.6 ha plot in Zakrzów just 19 km from the centre of the city. Work is starting on a 30,000 sqm class A hall. The first tenant has already been secured with 8,000 sqm to be taken by Highway Automotive, a vehicle parts distributor for trucks buses, and heavy machinery, including components for air conditioning, engines and cooling systems as well as for controlling exhaust emissions. From this location, the company is to serve markets throughout the world starting from May 2025.

“Our company is growing rapidly, becoming bigger every year. To fulfil our plans, we need a centre that is ideally suited to the needs of our expected growth, but also optimised to meet the needs of our logistics operations and the work of our warehouse and office team. Panattoni Park Kraków East V 100% meets our requirements. The centre’s design is based on our needs and its superb location will be yet another extremely important advantage. We are extremely please with our future change in location as well as with our continued work with Panattoni,” comments Paweł Łysień, the COO of Highway Automotive.

The new park, in line with the developer’s standard, is to undergo BREEAM environmental certification for a rating of Excellent.
