The hub will feature 50 loading docks for trucks and 83 parking spaces for passenger and transport vehicles. The construction of the transshipment center is closely linked to the implementation of this year’s OPEK strategy, which involves a significant increase in the company’s warehouse space. OPEK considered a number of locations across Poland. Łódź was chosen due to its central location on the country’s map and excellent connectivity to the main road network. Several companies participated in the tender for the project. SEGRO submitted the most favorable offer. The British developer will be responsible for every stage of the investment, and after the building is commissioned, also for property management.
– We are pleased that we were able to settle the tender and select a partner for this project in such a short time. This will be our first opportunity to work with SEGRO, but we know that it is an experienced company with a rich portfolio of similar investments, and this factor was particularly important to us – said Marek Opiński, CEO of OPEK. – Thanks to this investment, we will be able to increase our reach and operational capabilities as early as next year, as well as further streamline the handling of line-haul and courier vehicles. The investment in Łódź is a new, important stage in our company’s development.
– SEGRO’s Łódź investment is one of the best-located distribution parks in the region. The proximity to major transport arteries and the central location on the map of Poland are undoubtedly some of the greatest assets of Tulipan Park Łódź. I believe that for the services provided by our new client, the strategic location of the distribution center will have a positive impact on ensuring efficient, high-quality service – added Waldemar Witczak, Regional Director at SEGRO.
