Prologis, Inc., a global owner, operator and developer of distribution facilities, signed an agreement in the first quarter of 2013 for the construction of an 18,300 square meter build-to-suit (BTS) warehouse facility at Prologis Park Wrocław V for Tradis, a part of the Eurocash Group. This is the third BTS building to be developed since the park’s launch, less than 24 months ago.
– We are pleased that Tradis has chosen Prologis as its partner for the construction of its new facility. They are a very important client for us, and we hope that our mutual relationship will continue to strengthen – says Ewa Zawadzka, business development director at Prologis Poland. – This will be our third BTS at Prologis Park Wrocław V. This transaction underscores the strategic importance of this logistically key location and sends a positive signal to the entire Polish market.
In the first quarter of 2012, Prologis completed a 19,100 square meter building for UPM Raflatac, a leading supplier of pressure-sensitive label materials. Recently, an agreement was also signed for the construction of a 17,800 square meter BTS logistics warehouse for a leading wholesale and retail supplier of home appliances and electronic equipment.
At Prologis Park Wrocław V, which occupies a 70-hectare site, there is potential to develop up to 290,000 square meters of total warehouse space. The park is located directly adjacent to the Wrocław bypass, three kilometers southwest of the Wrocław-Bielany junction, between the A4 motorway from Berlin to Ukraine and the E261 route.
With four logistics parks (17 buildings) totaling more than 360,000 square meters, Prologis is the largest provider of distribution real estate in Lower Silesia.
