Panattoni Europe is expanding the park in Mysłowice, one of the largest and most highly regarded distribution centers in Poland by clients. The center’s five existing buildings occupied a total of 133,580 sqm of space. The new facility, which will be added to the existing building, measures 17,500 sqm and has already been fully leased. Its tenants are: press distribution market leader Ruch SA with 7,500 sqm of space, and the company Adesso – owner of the Textilmarket discount stores, which will occupy 10,000 sqm. Construction of the facility has already started, and upon its completion, Panattoni Park Mysłowice will total 151,080 sqm of space. Panattoni Europe’s cooperation with Ruch SA began back in May 2011, during the implementation of new investments at Panattoni Park Gdańsk and Panattoni Łódź Business Center. The press distributor then leased 10,700 sqm of Panattoni space. The signed agreement for the lease of 7,500 sqm at Panattoni Park Mysłowice brings the total to 18,200 sqm that Ruch SA leases from the developer.
– We devote a lot of attention to strengthening our greatest assets, which are undoubtedly our client and supplier base, logistics know-how in press distribution, and the largest sales network in Poland. It is for these reasons that we decided to cooperate with Panattoni Europe in as many as three of the developer’s strategic locations – said Maciej Karolak, Director of the Marketing Department at Ruch SA.
The second tenant of the new facility at Panattoni Park Mysłowice is the company Adesso – part of the Redan SA capital group, which is responsible for the Textilmarket clothing discount chain. The tenant will use the new 10,000 sqm investment as a warehouse, which will ultimately serve approximately 500 stores. The Textilmarket chain intends to begin moving into the new facility later this year.
– When choosing a new warehouse from among several available locations, we were guided by both the location and the proposed financial terms – says Bogusz Kruszyński, President of the Management Board of Redan SA. – The terms of cooperation agreed with Panattoni Europe are both cost-effective and sufficiently flexible for us to respond to changes that may occur in the future.
Panattoni Park Mysłowice is one of the largest distribution centers in Poland. The park, which will ultimately consist of 8 buildings, is located near the A4 motorway, along the S1 expressway. After the completion of the final construction phase, the park will total approximately 200,000 sqm. It is only 30 kilometers from the Pyrzowice airport. The park’s location provides ideal conditions for domestic and international distribution and easy access to a qualified workforce. As part of the investment, the traffic layout at the property was rebuilt. Panattoni invested in the construction of a road junction on the S1 expressway, which connects it with provincial road No. 934. Thanks to the investment, traffic in the heart of the Silesian agglomeration, at the junction of the A4 motorway and the S1 expressway, has been improved. It is worth adding that Panattoni Park Mysłowice is a laureate of many competitions, including the International Property Awards, a British competition organized in cooperation with Bloomberg television, where Panattoni Park Mysłowice won for Best Industrial Development 2010, and the “Eurobuild Awards” competition, in which clients themselves rated the park as the “Best Warehouse in Poland” in 2010.
