Panattoni Europe is to build another distribution centre for Castorama Polska. The project, one of the biggest in Poland, will be delivered in Stryków. Contruction works will commence later this April. The lease was mediated by experts from JLL.


The developer will build a 100,000-square-metre distribution centre for the DIY/home improvement company. Warehouse space will account for as much as 98.5 per cent of the entire space, while office and staff facilities will take up 1,450 sqm and will be adapted for the planned headcount of 300 employees. The investment will be delivered in Stryków and will proceed in two stages – with the first accounting for 50,000 sqm to be completed by the end of 2017. Construction works will commence later this April. The project was defined with the concepts of sustainable development in mind, e.g. in order to reduce energy consumption it will feature innovative LED lighting with motion sensors.
 
The most recent investment for Castorama Polska is the second to be delivered by Panattoni Europe – the first, with 50,000 sqm, was also built in Stryków.
