The LCube warehouse developer plans to acquire at least 4 new locations for its portfolio in 2022. This will mean doubling the number of projects currently carried out by the company. At the turn of March and April, the company also plans to start the construction of LCube Logistic Park Szczecin Goleniów, where over 12,000 sqm of warehouse space and office facilities will be built.
LCube started operating in the middle of last year, and today it has 4 confirmed locations, of which the construction of the first – Logistic Park Rzeszów, at the Rzeszów Jasionka international airport has already started. Ultimately, the park is to have 24,400 sqm of A-class space, and the commercialization of the first stage of 5,700 sqm was completed before the acceptance of the investment, which took place at the turn of 2021 and 2022.
Another investment implemented by the developer is LCube Logistic Park Szczecin Goleniów, which has already been partially commercialized and construction works are to begin there at the turn of March and April. The project involves the construction of 12,000 sqm of warehouse space with office facilities. The largest facility in the company’s portfolio so far is LCube Logistic Park Wrocław Dobrzykowice, which has nearly 60,000 sqm. Currently, the developer is waiting for a building permit to be issued.
“Our advantage is quick access to financing, thanks to which we can make decisions flexibly, depending on the situation on the market. It is known that there are fewer and fewer easy investments in the warehouse industry, and market leaders compete for the best plots. As can be seen from the acquired projects, thanks to our very good knowledge of the market, we can, however, boast a really interesting portfolio, which for a company with such a short experience is certainly a success. However, we are not slowing down and we are looking for new challenges in a very competitive market. This year, we have an ambitious plan to acquire at least 4 new locations. And one of them – in the vicinity of Poznań, we have even pre-booked,” says Adrian Biesaga, member of the board, Head of Development at LCube.
LCube already has a confirmed location for a possible investment in Strzelce Opolskie and is working on acquiring another plot of land – this time in the western part of Poznań, which is approximately 60 hectares. At the same time, the company focuses on a diversified portfolio. Although the company is particularly interested in plots of land in the vicinity of Warsaw, Upper Silesia and Western Poland.
“We are currently focusing on the most developed markets, especially in the west of Poland, which is related to the trend of tenants moving from Germany to this region. In the future, however, we also want to be present on the eastern wall. We follow the construction progress of the Via Carpatia route, as well as the international situation. The final decision regarding involvement in that region will depend on these factors,” concludes Adrian Biesaga from LCube.
LCube, apart from the effective acquisition of new projects, wants the company’s trademark to be care for the environment and the implementation of the sustainable development strategy. As the developer emphasizes, all facilities built by LCube will be BREEAM-certified and will focus on ecological and energy-saving solutions.
