According to a new report prepared by Newmark Polska, 2022 was a record-breaking year for new warehouse and industrial completions in Poland, with occupier activity remaining relatively strong amid a gradually shrinking development pipeline.

MLP Group is set to begin the construction of a new logistics centre in the southwestern part of Poland. The target space of the facilities to be delivered at the MLP Zgorzelec park, located right by the borders with Germany and the Czech Republic, will total approximately 50 thousand sqm.

Panattoni is extending the Panattoni Park Wrocław Logistics South Hub. The first stage comprising 120,000 sqm of speculative space has been fully commercialised during its construction. The developer is now to build a further 90,000 sqm on the same basis to be delivered in Q3 this year. 

Construction works have already started at MDC² Gliwice Park. The facility will consist of three buildings with a total area of over 57,000 sqm, located on a plot of 13.4 hectares. The first of the three buildings is scheduled to be commissioned at the turn of July and August 2023, and the opening of the other two at the turn of September and October 2023. The first tenants will move into the park in the third quarter of this year.

Take-up hits its second-highest on record as new supply sets an all-time high – that’s the story of the Polish industrial market in 2022 in a nutshell. According to the latest report from Cushman & Wakefield, development activity is expected to be more muted in the coming months, with the market entering a phase of stability. 

Polish warehouse developer 7R has appoin­ted Michał Białas as a Member of the Management Board. Michał Białas will continue to develop the company, expand the real estate portfolio, and support leasing.

Panattoni has sold its strategic Wroclaw Campus project in southwest Poland to P3 Logistic Parks. The project totals 185,000 sqm. The price has not been disclosed.

Panattoni has received an "Outstanding" rating under the BREEAM International New Construction system for Panattoni Park Szczecin III (halls A and B). This is the first such high level of certification in the industrial real estate market in Poland for a newly built investment. Its implementation was preceded by detailed life-cycle cost (LCC) and life-cycle analysis (LCA) of the facility for a period of 60 years. During construction, energy and water consumption were carefully monitored, harmful CO2 emissions were minimized, and thermal imaging was performed upon completion. The halls have been adapted to climate change and a possible change of use in the future. The project is located just 500 meters from public transportation and is accessible to people with disabilities.

Panattoni has fully commercialised another development – Panattoni Park Toruń. Stork, a company that provides logistics for clients from the food industry, has leased over 11,000 sqm and is to serve the Eastern European market from the centre. 

MLP Group has signed a new agreement with Santander Bank Polska. The bank has provided it with financing of more than €19 million and PLN 4 million. The funds will be used to refinance the existing warehouse facilities and finance the construction of new warehouse facilities within the MLP Łódź logistics park. The Kycia Legal law firm advised on the transaction.
