Douglas distribution center at CTPark Warsaw South

CTP has signed a 10-year lease agreement for over 46,200 sqm of warehouse and office space at CTPark Warsaw South with DOUGLAS, the European leader in the premium beauty omnichannel segment.

DOUGLAS will use the new space at CTPark Warsaw South as its main distribution center in Poland and its third location globally to support omnichannel sales operations. The company will occupy the entire WARS 01 building, which will house 1,317 sqm of office space, as well as 44,940 sqm of warehouse space. In total, this is over 46,200 sqm in a strategic location for supply chain management. At the same time, it will be possible to store up to 8 million products here, and such a number of items could fully supply 350 brick-and-mortar perfumeries. Products stored at CTPark Warsaw South will be distributed in Poland, Central Europe, and the Baltic states: Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The warehouse will also supply European stores with private label products.

Since entering the Polish market over 24 years ago, DOUGLAS has consistently strengthened its position, not only by investing in opening or modernizing brick-and-mortar perfumeries but also by developing an e-commerce platform with a wide range of brands and products. Investing in modern, efficient warehouse and logistics solutions that fully meet the highest ESG standards is part of their approach to effective customer service and meeting their most demanding expectations.

The scale of capabilities offered by the new logistics and warehouse center attracted DOUGLAS to CTPark Warsaw South, as well as the park's outstanding ESG credentials. The DOUGLAS building is one of ten warehouse properties in Poland with a BREEAM certificate at the highest Outstanding level.

The facility has been appropriately adapted to the tenant's needs. The modifications applied include increasing the level of natural light penetration into the building, expanding DALI lighting with additional sensors and impact zones, raising the fire protection standard, and equipping the park with security and monitoring solutions. Furthermore, warehouse operations will be supported by robotic systems, and the collection, processing, and analysis of utility consumption data will be supported by Smart Metering System technology. Both heating and cooling will be powered by heat pumps, which CTP is increasingly installing as standard. A photovoltaic system with a capacity of up to 0.5 MWp will also be installed on the roof.

Piotr Flugel, Managing Director of CTP in Poland, commented:
“We welcome DOUGLAS to CTPark Warsaw South, which will provide an optimal environment for their main distribution center in Poland thanks to modern facilities, a strategic location, and top-class ESG credentials, as one of only ten warehouses in Poland with a BREEAM certificate at the highest Outstanding level. Following the signing of a 10-year lease agreement, we look forward to developing our relationship with DOUGLAS as part of our strategy of supporting and growing with our existing tenants, with whom we have signed two-thirds of our lease agreements.”
 
Michal Niechaj, Supply Chain Director for Corporate Brands and the CEE region at DOUGLAS, says:
“The new central warehouse for the CEE region is a milestone in achieving the strategic supply chain goals of DOUGLAS. The facility will serve two purposes: supporting the entire European market through the distribution of exclusive brands and meeting omnichannel delivery needs across all countries in the CEE region. This approach strengthens DOUGLAS's commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction across the entire region.”
