The latest investment by Accolade in Poland will be located in Świdnik and provide easy access to the Lublin region. It will offer 54 000 sqm of modern warehouse space. The industrial park in Świdnik will consist of two buildings. The majority of the space was already leased to three companies from the manufacturing and logistics industries. The park will be located just 1 km from the border of the city of Lublin, where Accolade already has another warehouse park. Accolade has been present in the region since 2015, and their investment here will amount to over 130,000 square meters, with the total value of the investment in Lublin voivodeship amounting to €115 million.

Accolade Industrial Fund achieved a return of 9.33 percent in euros and 8.49 percent in crowns last year. It thus met the expected appreciation even in unpredictable economic conditions.

In the second and third quarters of this year, premium industrial and logistics real estate investor Accolade signed lease agreements for almost 460,000 sqm in the six countries where it operates.

Accolade came to Poland seven years ago and currently owns 26 of 45 parks in its portfolio, both those completed and under construction, spanning nearly 1.5 million sqm.
