P3, a specialized owner, developer, and manager of European logistics properties, will deliver 15,000 sqm of dedicated space to its existing client, InPost, at P3 Piotrków, a logistics park located in central Poland. The warehouse will serve as InPost’s main sorting center.
InPost is part of the Integer.pl capital group and is the largest independent postal operator in Poland. It provides both traditional and non-standard postal services to individual customers, businesses, and public sector institutions. It currently leases over 10,000 sqm of warehouse space at P3 Piotrków. Based on a recently agreed contract with P3, the company has decided to increase its occupied space in the park by over 50%. Preparatory work is underway for the construction of a dedicated facility that will house InPost’s central sorting center.
– The very dynamic development of courier services – we handled 2.8 million courier shipments in the first quarter alone – meant that we faced an urgent decision to expand our sorting capacity. In the completely new sorting center, we will be able to increase handled volumes by 60% compared to the current sorting center. We had not planned such a rapid expansion before, but the positive customer response to the courier services we launched just 10 months ago significantly accelerated the decision to lease a new location – said Sebastian Anioł, CEO of InPost S.A.
InPost has been a tenant at P3 Piotrków since 2009, where it has its main logistics base. The new warehouse intended for the postal operator has been fully designed according to its needs; it will have an above-standard number of docks (53) and a portion of the space designed in a “cross-dock” convention. The warehouse will also feature ecological solutions, including a solar system supporting domestic hot water heating, faucets with aerators and infrared activation, as well as a new type of sandwich panel with increased insulation. Both internal and external warehouse lighting will be in LED standard.
– We are very pleased that InPost has decided to develop its operations within our park. P3 Piotrków, thanks to its location in the central part of Poland, near two motorways, enables our clients to conduct nationwide operations. We always strive to support our clients and, as their business grows, offer them appropriate warehouse space. In this case, we proposed the delivery of a new, dedicated facility – said Piotr Bzowski, Leasing and Development Director at P3 in Poland.
The tenant was supported in the negotiation process by the international advisory firm Cushman & Wakefield.
– We are pleased that InPost has once again placed its trust in us and that we could support the company in finding the best solution combining cross-dock and warehouse space. The tenant will move into the dedicated facility, which will be built according to InPost’s requirements, later this year. This is undoubtedly a strategic project – said Joanna Sinkiewicz, Associate, Head of Key Client and Tenant Representation at Cushman & Wakefield.
The new facility for InPost will have approximately 5,700 sqm of warehouse space, 8,000 sqm of cross-dock space, and nearly 1,600 sqm of office space. P3 Piotrków currently offers 75,000 sqm of existing warehouse space and land allowing for the construction of an additional 410,000 sqm. The park’s location in central Poland offers excellent conditions for nationwide distribution, as evidenced by the presence of such clients in the park as: FM Logistic, Erontrans, Kuehne + Nagel, Piast Cargo, and LightInTheBox.
