Fresenius Kabi Polska, which is part of a global healthcare company specializing in clinical nutrition, life-saving drugs and infusion and transfusion technology, has extended its lease at Diamond Business Park Strykow. In addition, the tenant has increased the used warehouse and office space within the complex to nearly 17,700 sqm. Diamond Business Park Strykow is being developed by White Star Real Estate. Consulting firm JLL advised on the transaction.
So far, Fresenius Kabi Poland has used more than 15,000 sqm of warehouse and office space. As part of the expansion and contract extension, Fresenius Kabi Polska, will have 17,183 sqm of warehouse space and more than 500 sqm of office and social space at its disposal.
According to Izabella Grabska Finance and Administration Director at Fresenius Kabi Polska, “The distribution center in Strykow supports the health care area in Poland – guaranteeing optimal fluidity of drug deliveries to Polish hospitals. We are steadily growing in strength, so the ability to efficiently expand the area of our center in Strykow is very important to us – it affects the comfort of our work, which involves effectively ensuring the security of the supply of medicinal products to medical facilities in our country.”
The location near Strykow is also an excellent business environment for both commercial and manufacturing companies. Within a radius of just 2-3 km, virtually all of Poland’s major courier companies have their facilities.
“Expansion of a company already present, in such a popular complex as Diamond Business Park Strykow, is always a big challenge for the whole team. Thanks to our close relationships with our tenants, we can successfully shape our strategy regarding the creation of space in which our partners can conduct their business,” says Urszula Rasmussen, Head of Industrial Leasing at White Star Real Estate. “The unquestionable advantage of the investment is its excellent location in central Poland, a dozen kilometers from Lodz and in the vicinity of the A2 highway junction,” Rasmussen adds. “Fresenius Kabi Polska is our long-term partner and currently the largest tenant in Diamond Business Park Strykow. Such case studies, are always a source of pride for us and proof that our strategy, favors our tenants, who gain space to develop their businesses,” adds Rasmussen.
Lodz’s close proximity, in turn, provides access to the local labor market. The Lodz market, according to CBRE’s latest report, is the second fastest-growing warehouse market in Poland, after Lower Silesia. In 2022, 635,000 sqm of warehouse space was added here, with 4.3 million sqm built for the whole country.
“The specific nature of Fresenius Kabi’s operations requires an individual and flexible approach, which has been successfully implemented for years by representatives of White Star Real Estate and Fresenius Kabi at Diamond Business Park Strykow. Considering these aspects and the attractiveness of the location, the decision to continue cooperation is a natural step. In the renegotiation and expansion process, we focused on working out the most favorable business conditions and acquiring more space for the further development of Fresenius Kabi’s business in central Poland. The decisions made will certainly translate, among other things, into maintaining and improving the quality of services offered and strengthening the company’s position in the region,” says Wiktor Lesiak, Consultant in the Warehouse Space Leasing Department, JLL.
