Prologis, a leader in distribution real estate, has extended two lease agreements with Raben Polska, a European logistics service provider. The agreements cover 40,000 square meters of warehouse space in parks in Chorzów and Błonie.
The company has been a Prologis client in Poland since 2004. It currently leases a total of over 100,000 square meters of distribution space in eight Prologis buildings located across the country.
The transactions include:
• 25,000 square meters at Prologis Park Chorzów, a distribution center with a total area of 235,000 square meters, located on the western outskirts of Katowice, right next to the A4 motorway connecting Ukraine with Germany and 15 kilometers from the Gliwice-Sośnica junction – the intersection of the two largest international transport corridors in Poland;
• 15,000 square meters at Prologis Park Błonie II, a distribution center with an area of 112,000 square meters located within the Błonie-Pass Industrial Zone, by the E30 national road (Berlin-Poznań-Warsaw-Biała Podlaska), 25 kilometers west of Warsaw city center and 10 kilometers from the Tłuste junction.
– A major advantage of working with Prologis is the possibility of short-term leasing and the owner’s quick decision-making, which enables us to expand efficiently in the face of the company’s growing needs – said Łukasz Pełko, Regional Director at Raben Polska.
– Long-term cooperation with the Raben Group confirms that Prologis facilities meet the requirements of the largest players in the logistics market – said Michał Czarnecki, Vice President and Head of Leasing at Prologis in Poland. – To even better meet the client’s needs, the facility in Chorzów will meet elevated standards, including a permissible fire load of over 4,000 MJ per square meter.
With a portfolio of over 2.2 million square meters, Prologis is the leading provider of distribution facilities in Poland (as of March 31, 2015).
