Panattoni secured 80 million EUR from PEKAO SA.

Panattoni, the most active industrial real estate developer in the world, with financing for the implementation of its first investment in Bytom. Bank PEKAO SA granted a loan of 80 million EUR for the construction of Panattoni Park Bytom.

The volume of industrial space in the Silesian Voivodeship is growing continuously, and in Q1 2023 it exceeded 5 million sq m, while just 5 years earlier it slightly exceeded 2 million sq m. The rapid development of the industrial real estate industry is driving the metamorphosis of Silesia from a mining basin into a modern industrial center of Poland, where technologically advanced factories, distribution centers, and logistics centers are being built. Financial institutions recognize the huge potential of the voivodeship. Bank PEKAO SA granted a loan of 80 million EUR for the implementation of Panattoni Park Bytom – the developer's first park in this location, having already delivered 2.5 million sq m in the region.

- Panattoni Park Bytom is a huge project, covering as much as 130,000 sq m in a new location for us, where we see great potential. Bank PEKAO SA also recognizes it, having granted us a loan of a significant amount of 80 million EUR for its implementation” – says Karina Trojańska, Chief Financial Officer at Panattoni – „Subsequent centers of the Silesian Voivodeship attract regional and international giants from dozens of industries. We consistently support the development of the region by providing modern industrial space, and the support of financial institutions is essential for further growth, which is why we thank Bank PEKAO SA, which is cooperating with us once again, recognizing the importance of our investments – she adds.

- Bytom is an attractive location for business because it combines the region's strengths, such as good transport connections, access to qualified staff, and rich resources of serviced land. It is also worth emphasizing the openness and pro-business approach of local authorities. At the same time, at this moment, the city does not yet have a large amount of modern industrial space, which is why we see huge potential for development – says Aurelia Rachtan, Senior Development Manager at Panattoni

Panattoni Park Bytom I will work perfectly for handling logistics, warehousing, and production processes, additionally offering social and office spaces and accompanying infrastructure adapted to the activities of future tenants. Furthermore, the 130,000 sq m investment will meet the highest standards in sustainable construction and will obtain environmental certification using the BREEAM method at the Excellent level. The developer will apply solutions reducing CO2 emissions or energy and water consumption, and will also ensure increased insulation of walls and roofs. It will also implement an intelligent lighting system and HVAC devices. Moreover, the facilities' employees will benefit from, among other things, green zones in front of offices, infrastructure for cyclists, charging points for electric cars, and very good access to public transport.
