In the vicinity of Łódź, the construction of a hall with an area of 6,300 sqm, fully leased by DPD – one of the largest courier companies in Europe, has started.

In the logistics park in Lućmierz near Zgierz, financed by the Newport Logistics Fund, the construction of the first hall with an area of 6,300 sqm has started for the needs of DPD. One of the largest courier companies in Europe, whose sorting plants pass through 7.5 million shipments every day, will use the facility in the first quarter of 2023. The cross-dock building will house one of the largest and most modern sorters of this company in the country and functional office and social facilities.
The hall will be equipped with a number of sustainable solutions – incl. photovoltaic installation and electric car charging stations – and will be BREEAM certified at the Excellent level.
The logistics park developed by Newport Logistics Fund will ultimately cover two buildings with a total area of 32,000 sqm. The investment is being built in one of the main logistics centers in Poland and Europe, near the A2 motorway and the Emilia junction. 4 million people live here within an hour by car and as many as 180 million consumers within 6 hours. Excellent transport connections are complemented by the nearby Intermodal Container Terminal, connecting China with Western Europe.

It focuses on investing in the comprehensive implementation of high-quality logistics projects, located in strategic areas with good access to infrastructure. The financing of the Łódź warehouse is the first investment project in Poland for the NLF.
