Panattoni received a BREEAM Outstanding in the International New Construction system for Panattoni Park Konin. It is already the fourth investment by the developer in Europe with the highest rating in this system. The total area of its buildings confirmed by an ecological certificate has already exceeded 12 million sqm, and another 4.5 million sqm is in the certification process, including five BREEAM Outstanding investments and DGNB Platinium.

P3 Logistic Parks has acquired a 30-ha plot of land in Dachowa near Poznań. The site will become the new P3 Poznań III park, which will enrich the developer’s current portfolio in the Wielkopolska region.

MLP Group has purchased an additional 6 hectares of land adjacent to the MLP Poznań West logistics centre. This will allow the construction of another 30,000 sqm of warehouse space. As a result, the target space of the complex has increased to more than 170,000 sqm. The existing plot of land has already been fully developed, with all facilities 100% leased.

According to the latest report from Cushman & Wakefield, gross warehouse take-up in Poland stabilized at over 1 million sqm in Q2 2023. Furthermore, at the end of June 2023, there was 2.1 million sqm under construction, with the relatively strong development activity being driven by higher rents encouraging investors to launch new projects. In addition, Poland entered the top three EU markets in terms of warehouse stock, jumping into third spot behind Germany and France.

The Polish Chamber of Commercial Real Estate (PINK) has published figures summarizing the warehouse market in Poland for Q2 2023.
