Global leader in logistics real estate, Prologis, has signed an agreement with Agata for the construction of a build-to-suit (BTS) facility at Prologis Park Piotrków II with a total area of 42,170 sqm. The real estate agency CBRE brokered the transaction.
Agata is one of the leading and oldest distributors of furniture and home furnishings, decorative items, lamps, and textiles in Poland. Currently, 19 large-format retail stores located in the most important cities in our country and two central warehouses operate under this name.
– Optimizing the processes and costs of our operations, which is a consequence of our company’s dynamic development, prompted us to create a single nationwide warehouse center in Central Poland, located at Prologis Park Piotrków II – said Grzegorz Ćwik, Vice President, Agata. – We chose the Prologis offer because we decided to entrust such an important element of our business to a proven and reliable partner. This agreement confirms our good cooperation, which dates back to 2010, when we signed our first lease agreement for warehouse space at Prologis Park Wrocław.
– We are pleased that Agata has chosen Prologis Park Piotrków II, located in Central Poland. The report “Development of Logistics Real Estate Networks in Europe,” which we prepared together with Eyefortransport (EFT), shows that Central Poland is the most desirable logistics location in Central and Eastern Europe – said Paweł Sapek, Senior Vice President, Country Manager of Prologis in Poland. – This agreement confirms our expertise and our fruitful cooperation with Agata to date. Additionally, we were able to offer attractively located land that we own and for which we have the necessary building permits. Thanks to this, we can deliver the warehouse to the client in the shortest possible time.
– The location of Piotrków Trybunalski and non-standard solutions tailored to the client’s needs ultimately decided the choice of the Prologis warehouse park. We congratulate both partners and are proud that we could contribute to the signing of the lease agreement – said Małgorzata Czepel, Senior Negotiator in the Industrial and Logistics Department, CBRE.
