Construction of Panattoni Park Poznań East II begins

Panattoni has started construction of a new park in the capital region of Greater Poland: Panattoni Park Poznań East II will be built in the vicinity of the A2 motorway, and its area will amount to 37,000 sq m. The first tenant will be the logistics operator Geodis, which will occupy 8,500 sq m.

Panattoni has started construction of a new logistics park, Panattoni Park Poznań East II, which will include one warehouse hall with a total area of 37,000 sq m. The facility will be developed in accordance with a very high level of environmental certification: BREEAM Excellent. Approx. 8,500 sq m will be occupied by Geodis – a global leader in transport and logistics. The company recently acquired the logistics operator – PEKAES – for whom Panattoni previously completed 11 projects across the country. The company has been strongly associated with the Greater Poland region for years, and its local branch is located in Gądki, where the park is being built. Geodis will begin operations at the facility in October 2023.

“The decision to build a new park in Greater Poland is dictated by strong market data, which shows that this region has been one of the most sought-after in terms of demand for industrial space in Poland for another consecutive quarter,” says Katarzyna Kujawiak, Development Director at Panattoni. – “The experience gained from over ten projects for GEODIS proves invaluable during our current cooperation. We are providing dedicated space, which will mostly be a cross-dock warehouse with a covered side ramp used for unloading. Years of cooperation confirm how much a proven developer means for understanding the needs of a logistics operator,” she adds.

“Growth, operational excellence and a focus on customer needs constitute the DNA of GEODIS. New investments and the development of the distribution network are part of our organization's long-term strategy and operating philosophy. Poznań, along with the entire potential of Greater Poland, plays a key role on the map of GEODIS logistics operations,” said Olivier Royer, Executive Vice President of GEODIS European Road Network.

The location of Panattoni Park Poznań East II ensures easy communication with the most important regions in Poland. Furthermore, it is an excellent point for distribution towards Western Europe and Scandinavia. The facility is located near the A2 motorway, which connects key centers in Central and Eastern Europe – Warsaw, Łódź, Poznań and Berlin. In addition, near the investment, the motorway intersects with the S11 expressway (“Poznań Krzesiny” junction), which will allow travel from Silesia to Pomerania, and the S5 (“Poznań Wschód” junction) – connecting the capital of Greater Poland with Wrocław in the south and Bydgoszcz in the north.
