Global leader in logistics real estate, Prologis, has signed an agreement for the construction of a build-to-suit (BTS) facility with a total area of 11,740 square meters for the German logistics operator Geis PL at Prologis Park Stryków. The completion of the investment is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2016.
The cross-dock facility will be equipped with a large number of loading docks on both sides of the building to further optimize the client’s logistics operations. At the request of Geis, both the parking area and the transshipment area will be expanded. Furthermore, the office space will be constructed as an external block.
– For the realization of our new project, we needed a reliable and proven partner. We chose Prologis due to our long-standing, successful cooperation in the Czech Republic, where we have our warehouse at Prologis
Park Ostrava – said Michal Martinovic, Managing Director for Central and Eastern Europe at Geis Group. – The excellent location of the Park in Stryków, with access to the A1 and A2 motorways, and the fact that Prologis had land prepared for the investment, which enabled a very efficient start of work, were also significant factors.
– When executing BTS projects, the key to success is understanding the business partner’s needs. Our dedicated project team thoroughly analyzed the client’s operational processes and proposed construction solutions that will ensure their optimization – said Ewa Zawadzka, Vice President, Head of Land & Development at Prologis for Poland.
Prologis Park Stryków is located 1 kilometer from the intersection of two major motorways: the A1/E75 (Gdańsk-Vienna) and the A2/E30 (Berlin-Moscow). The road infrastructure provides excellent connections to the Łódź metropolitan area and the entire country. The park will ultimately cover 115,500 square meters.
Operating actively in four countries in CEE with a portfolio of 4.3 million square meters, Prologis is the largest owner and manager of logistics facilities in Central and Eastern Europe (as of June 30, 2016).
