MDC2 and its partner, Generali Real Estate, have finalized a lease agreement with InPost for a 11,000 m² custom-built facility at MDC2 Park Kraków South. The build-to-suit (BTS) facility will be tailored exclusively to InPost’s needs, furthering the company’s growth in the Kraków region.
The development, owned by Generali Real Estate as part of its European logistics investment portfolio, is being handled by MDC2. The project reflects both companies’ commitment to sustainability, with the facility designed in line with environmental best practices and set to achieve a BREEAM New Construction certification of at least ‘Excellent.’
InPost, a leader in e-commerce delivery across Europe, is well known in Poland for its Paczkomat® machines, which form the backbone of its automated parcel system. Research shows that 94% of Polish consumers prefer using Paczkomat® for parcel collection, and 85% use it for shipping. With its success in Poland, InPost has expanded to nine European countries, operating over 73,000 out-of-home points, including more than 40,000 Paczkomat® devices.
The new 11,000 m² facility at MDC2 Park Kraków South will serve as a bespoke transshipment terminal, designed to enhance logistics operations and expedite parcel delivery in the Kraków region. Located in Skawina, south of Kraków, the site offers strategic access to key transport routes, including national road 44 and the A4 motorway.
“InPost handles around one million shipments annually in Poland, and a reliable logistics infrastructure is crucial to our success,” said Rafał Brzoska, CEO of InPost. “This new facility will support our commitment to operational efficiency and environmentally friendly practices.”
Generali Real Estate’s Asset Manager for CEE & Nordics, Miroslav Nutil, expressed excitement about the partnership, noting the continued collaboration with InPost that began in Gdańsk and now extends to Kraków.
Katarzyna Dudzik, Development Director at MDC2, emphasized that the agreement highlights InPost’s trust in their innovative solutions, reinforcing MDC2’s position in the rapidly growing e-commerce market in Poland.
The facility at MDC2 Park Kraków South is designed to minimize carbon footprint and maximize energy efficiency, aligning with the shared values of sustainability between InPost, MDC2, and Generali Real Estate.
