Warsaw, 30th June 2014 – PointPark Properties (P3), the specialist investor, developer and asset manager of warehouse properties, has started work on a complete build-to-suit “fit-out” of its 11,130 sqm DC1 temperature-controlled warehouse at PointPark Mszczonów, to the southwest of Warsaw. FM Logistic has taken a new lease and the works will bring the building up to the highest modern standards of fresh products’ storage and distribution. The general contractor is a Japanese construction company – Kajima Poland.
Piotr Wąs, Leasing and Development Director for P3 Poland said: “P3 has a long-standing and close relationship with FM Logistic at PointPark Mszczonów. We’ve taken the opportunity, as an important part of signing a new lease with them, to also begin a major modernization of DC1 – which was the oldest building on the park – and install cutting edge refrigeration equipment for storing fresh products and their distribution in line with FM Logistic´s sophisticated technical requirements.”
FM Logistic is a major international logistics contractor, with its headquarters in Phalsbourg, France. The company is engaged in a 10-year business strategy to double in size through internal growth and external development.
