Panattoni Europe, the leader of the warehouse space market in Poland, summarizes the year 2009. Last year, the developer leased a total of over 250,000 sq m of warehouse and office space.
Despite the crisis and economic slowdown in 2009, Panattoni increased its market share to 44.5%. It bases its excellent result solely on new contracts. Panattoni has become the leader in the BTS segment by signing agreements with the largest investors from the FMCG and pharmaceutical industries. Torfarm SA, which supplies pharmacies throughout Poland, signed an agreement with Panattoni Europe for the construction of 35,000 sq m of warehouses in the Warsaw and Poznań regions. Among the build-to-suit agreements, there are as many as three contracts related to finding land for the client, including for Torfarm SA and Farmacol. In 2009, the park in Mysłowice enjoyed the greatest interest from tenants, where Panattoni leased almost 50,000 sq m. Clients joining the center included Intermarché, which launched its logistics center in Mysłowice, and PartnerTech, which located its production unit there. There was also a lot of activity in the Warsaw region. Agreements for approximately 70,000 sq m were signed there. The end of last year was particularly abundant in new transactions covering over 23,000 sq m, which contributed to reducing the share of vacant space to 4% across the entire portfolio of built buildings. New clients of the parks near Warsaw included: Henkel, Mode Com, Mercator Papier, Teoma, and representatives of the pharmaceutical industry: Astellas Pharma, Hand Prod, and Poltraf. Also in the Poznań area, a number of agreements for over 56,000 sq m were signed. Clients joining Panattoni in this region included: C. Hartwig Gdynia, Newell Rubbermaid, and Farmacol. The crowning achievement of Panattoni’s successes are two prestigious awards in the CIJ Awards competition, in which the developer’s flagship investment was recognized.
