Goodman, an expert in logistics real estate, has leased an additional 3,300 sqm to Gestamp, an international group involved in the design, development, and manufacturing of metal components for the automotive industry. In total, Gestamp will lease 22,700 sqm at the Goodman Wrocław IV Logistics Centre. Within the logistics centre, 16,700 sqm of ready-to-lease space, which was built speculatively, is also available.
From the new production facility, Gestamp will serve its key clients in the automotive industry sector in Western Europe. Approximately 300 people will find employment here. The Goodman logistics centre provides Gestamp with the opportunity for future expansion of the facility up to 44,000 sqm.
– During the construction of our new production plant in Wrocław, Goodman supported us with their experience in adapting the facility to our operational needs. Goodman also offered us the opportunity to lease additional space in response to our growing needs. Thanks to this, we now have a modern facility that will allow us to expand our operations and deepen our existing cooperation with car manufacturers from Western Europe – says Jose Rogel Sanchez, General Manager of Gestamp Polska.
Goodman completed the construction of the first building at the Goodman Wrocław IV Logistics Centre in October last year. Gestamp signed a lease agreement for nearly half of the 40,000 sqm area, and the remaining part of the facility was built speculatively. Even before the completion of construction, Gestamp leased an additional 3,300 sqm, while the remaining 16,700 sqm of space is available for lease and can be tailored to the individual needs of new clients.
– Wrocław is one of the most attractive regions on the Polish warehouse map. Fully convinced of its potential, we have expanded our land bank in the region to 230,000 sqm. Taking into account the low vacancy rate and high demand from clients, we also decided on speculative construction at the Goodman Wrocław IV Logistics Centre, which has already brought positive results in the form of the first lease agreements – says Błażej Ciesielczak, Regional Director of Goodman for Central and Eastern Europe.
The Goodman Wrocław IV Logistics Centre, with a target area of 64,000 sqm, is located 0.5 km from the A8 road (Wrocław West junction of the Wrocław Motorway Bypass), providing a good connection to Wrocław, Upper Silesia, Central Poland, and Germany. The location within the city limits ensures easy access to qualified employees. Furthermore, the logistics centre is situated within the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone, which will allow tenants to benefit from grants and provide access to attractive training for employees.
