ProLogis, a leading global provider of distribution facilities, announced the signing of a lease agreement for over 5,400 square meters of modern warehouse space at ProLogis Park Sochaczew with DHL Exel Supply Chain, a leader in the international express and logistics services market. At the same time, DHL has extended its lease agreements for over 16,000 square meters of currently occupied warehouse space within the same park.
DHL is part of the world’s largest logistics group, Deutsche Post, which connects over 220 countries and territories worldwide. Including this transaction, Deutsche Post, as ProLogis’ largest global customer, leases over 892,000 square meters of space in 67 ProLogis distribution centers across Europe and North America.
– Flexible and innovative real estate solutions were key to committing our future to this park – said Kevin Sey, Senior Development Manager at DHL Real Estate EMEA. – The experienced ProLogis team understands the industry we operate in, and that is what sets our cooperation apart.
– Today, acquiring a client is a difficult art, convincing them to extend a contract is even harder, and retaining a client while expanding the scope of cooperation is a huge success – said Wojciech Kosiór, Leasing Manager for Poland. – DHL is our global client, so we are proud that ProLogis warehouses located right here in Poland, in close proximity to Warsaw, constitute an important point in DHL’s international logistics network.
The transaction was brokered by the real estate agency CB Richard Ellis Poland.
Currently, ProLogis Park Sochaczew is a distribution center consisting of six buildings with a total warehouse and office space of over 100,000 square meters. The park is located on the eastern outskirts of Sochaczew, right next to the E30 national road (Warsaw – Berlin), approximately 50 kilometers west of Warsaw city center. The park has a direct connection to national road No. 50 (on the Germany – Lithuania route) and its own railway siding connected to the international railway line (Berlin – Moscow).
In addition to DHL, clients of ProLogis Park Sochaczew include companies such as: Procter & Gamble, Gepol, Euro Freight Logistics, and Pilkington Automotive.
