Neonet with a new central warehouse – 44,000 sqm at Panattoni Park Łódź-Pabianice
Panattoni, the market leader in industrial real estate in Europe, has completed a central warehouse for Neonet. The grand opening will take place in August this year. One of the largest electronics retail chains in Poland will utilize 44,000 sqm within Panattoni Park Łódź-Pabianice, with the option to expand by another 20,000 sqm. The space has been adapted to support omnichannel sales nationwide. With the handover of the space to Neonet, the first stage of the park in Pabianice has been completed, which will ultimately occupy 123,000 sqm across four buildings. The development will undergo BREEAM certification at the Excellent level. The lease transaction was brokered by the advisory firm Colliers International.
Panattoni has completed the construction of a central warehouse for Neonet, the owner of a chain of over 300 electronics stores in the country. The developer delivered 44,000 sqm, with the option to expand by another 20,000 sqm, and the lease transaction was brokered by the advisory firm Colliers International. One of the most important tasks of the new warehouse will be to support the company's e-commerce, which is constantly growing, reflecting global trends. As of March 2021, the global online electronics market was valued at 343 billion dollars, and it is expected to grow to as much as 511 billion by 2025. Changes are also noticeable in Poland, where in 2020, online sales of equipment such as phones and laptops increased by over 20 percent. More customers are becoming convinced of this form of purchasing, and its attractiveness grows with shorter delivery times.
- The electronics retail industry is growing rapidly, driven by a constant increase in consumption in the small and large electronics and home appliance market segments. We have already delivered over a million sqm for various chains. Our experience in serving this industry, as well as our activity in the strategically located Central Poland market, makes us an ideal partner for implementing supra-regional projects. We are pleased that the Neonet chain saw an opportunity for the next step in its development in the domestic market through cooperation with Panattoni, and we believe that this is not our last collaboration – says Katarzyna Kujawiak, Development Director at Panattoni.
The location in central Poland, proximity to the S14 road, and being situated approximately 35 km from the intersection of the A1 and A2 motorways create excellent conditions for serving Neonet customers and brick-and-mortar stores throughout Poland. The chain is constantly developing, which is why modern and adapted industrial space has become essential. The full range of Neonet products will be stored in the Pabianice facility. By delivering the space, Panattoni has completed the first stage of the park's development.
Panattoni Park Łódź-Pabianice will ultimately reach 123,000 sqm across four buildings, and construction of the second one will begin in Q4 2022. The facilities will create a modern complex offering a wide range of solutions for warehousing and logistics, distribution, as well as light production. Panattoni Park Łódź-Pabianice will undergo environmental certification using the BREEAM method at the Excellent level. The investment will incorporate solutions for water and energy savings. Furthermore, green zones with pocket parks will be created, office spaces will be tested for acoustics and undergo thermal comfort analysis, and an air quality plan has been prepared for the development.
