GLP, a leading investor and developer of logistics real estate, plans to complete projects in Poland in 2022 with a total area of approximately 240,000 sqm. The two newest investments started this year are the third stage of Poznań Airport Logistics Center and a new building next to the A2 motorway junction in Grodzisk Mazowiecki near Warsaw. Both projects will be ready in autumn.
The newest building in the GLP logistics park, located 5 minutes from the Poznań Ławica airport, has over 28,600 sqm and the new GLP Warsaw V Logistics Center investment 23,400 sqm warehouse, production and office space. Both facilities are being built in accordance with the requirements of the BREEAM ecological certification at the “Very Good” level.
The buildings offer the companies using them the possibility of storing them up to a height of 12 meters, as well as providing additional illumination of the dockside zone with natural light thanks to the above-standard number of skylights in the ceilings of the halls. The roofs of buildings are prepared for the installation of photovoltaic panels, which may have an additional effect on saving utilities. The pro-ecological solutions also include charging stations for electric cars, as well as parking shelters for bicycles.
In both projects, great emphasis was placed on biodiversity and care was taken to create green areas conducive to rest, and drivers delivering or collecting cargo will be able to use dedicated toilets.
“The commencement of the implementation of new projects in Poznań and in the vicinity of Warsaw results from the high interest of clients in both locations. In both cases, we are talking about buildings with very good access to key road routes, and at the same time in the immediate vicinity of the agglomeration with a base of several million end users. In both cases, we also focused on a full package of solutions in the field of sustainable development, thanks to which our clients can not only develop their business, but also record long-term savings related to the use of logistics space, ”comments Jarosław Czechowicz, GLP Country Manager in Poland.
At the same time, GLP is continuing the construction works started a year ago, including in Magnice near Wrocław (41,000 sqm in the first two halls) and in Gdańsk, where a fifth building is being built as part of the Pomeranian Logistics Center (39,000 sqm fully leased) – one of only a few buildings of this type in Poland certified by BREEAM for “Excellent” level.
