Panattoni Europe opened Panattoni Park Białystok, featuring in excess of 41,000 sqm of Class A logistics and industrial space. The park is a multi-tenant facility suitable for a range of industries – from logistics to production. The complex is currently 60% leased.
Rohlig Suus Logistics is a long-term client of Panattoni Europe, pursuing a strategy of developing contract logistics capabilities in key locations all over Poland. To date, the company has leased a total of 85,000 sqm in the developer’s facilities, including 3,000 sqm at Panattoni Park Białystok. Rohlig Suus Logistics is the first comprehensive logistics operator to enter Podlasie with contract logistics services, i.e. operations related to storing and custom packaging of goods.
“The dynamic growth of e-commerce and the development of infrastructure in Poland make locations such as Białystok a natural choice for the logistics sector, and therefore for Panattoni Europe. Today, Podlasie is a dynamically growing part of the country, in the vicinity of its eastern border. The region attracts many investors, from both Poland and abroad, and Białystok itself has a lot to offer, too. The presence of universities here, access to a qualified labour pool and the investments undertaken by the City are just a few of its advantages. The new north-south Via Carpatia route will not only consolidate Eastern Poland and remote regions that have been difficult to access, but will in the future act as an important transport route along the eastern border of the European Union. It will make possible the flow of goods between the Baltic States and the south of Europe,” said Marek Dobrzycki, Managing Director at Panattoni Europe.
Panattoni Park Białystok is made up of three buildings, featuring approx. 3,530 sqm, approx. 22,320 sqm and approx. 14,480 sqm, respectively. The complex is situated within the administrative city limits of Białystok, near the city bypass and 60 km from the border crossing in Kuźnica. The site is approx. 1 km away from the European route E67 (road S8), connecting Wrocław, Łódź, Warsaw and Białystok, which guarantees a very good connection with major markets at home and abroad. Once the upgrade of the S8 expressway is completed, the city will grow in importance on the logistics map, and following the completion of the S19 road (Via Carpatia), running through the main cities of Eastern Poland and ultimately connecting Klaipeda in Lithuania with Thessaloniki in Greece, it is set to become an crucial industrial centre not only within its region.
