DB Schenker has signed a pre-let agreement for the construction of a high-performance transshipment terminal as part of a new SEGRO investment currently being developed in the Pomerania region.
At the end of February, SEGRO signed a long-term lease agreement with DB Schenker Logistics for the first facility within the SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk. One of the leading providers of integrated logistics services will occupy 4,500 sq m of warehouse space and an additional 850 sq m of office space in a new building being constructed on a nearly 3.5-hectare plot. The new investment will house a transshipment warehouse that meets the highest requirements of the logistics operator. DB Schenker Logistics has been cooperating with the developer since 2008, when it leased over 7,500 sq m in a warehouse and logistics facility at Tulipan Park Gliwice.
The British developer has begun work on the plot for the construction of a logistics center in the Pruszcz Gdański municipality. The new investment, SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk, is designed to meet the highest quality standards. The facility is located on a plot in Będzieszyn, directly adjacent to the Tricity bypass and the A1 motorway. The proximity to major national roads and Baltic ports creates favorable conditions for efficient logistics operations and facilitates access to locations throughout Poland and Northern European countries.
– SEGRO has proven to be a trustworthy partner, which is why we decided to entrust them with the demanding task of building a new transshipment warehouse. We are very pleased with the cooperation with our contractor and their team of specialists. We believe that SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk will provide us with excellent expansion opportunities, allowing us to consolidate our growing activity in a new, attractive location – said Igor Nowaczyk, Director of the Gdynia Branch of Schenker Sp. z o.o.
– A huge advantage of the investment is its location, which allows for the development of logistics activities by utilizing the proximity of the Baltic Sea and the potential of the over-one-million-strong Tricity agglomeration – said Magdalena Szulc, Business Unit Director SEGRO Central Europe, commenting on the development process of SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk. – We are very pleased that such a renowned and prestigious client as DB Schenker Logistics will be the first tenant in our new location and has decided to enter into a long-term partnership with SEGRO once again.
SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk will provide the market with 95,000 sq m of modern business space intended for warehouses and light industrial production. The smallest modules will be available from 2,500 sq m and can be designed according to the individual requirements of tenants. The convenient and functional communication layout planned in the Park includes wide internal roads, maneuvering areas, and parking lots for trucks. Convenient access to the investment will be provided by a 1.5-kilometer illuminated access road with a pedestrian and bicycle path. Along with the construction of the facility dedicated to DB Schenker Logistics, SEGRO plans to build a total of 10,000 sq m of warehouse space at SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk this year as part of Phase I.
