After delivering 400,000m² of warehouse space in 2021, 7R continues to pursue its expansion strategy with 800,000m² currently under construction throughout Poland. The company is developing a number of projects including a production and warehouse facility 7R City Park Katowice I, which will deliver over 49,600m² to the market. The project will be ready in Q4 2022.
Experts predict that in the first six months of 2022, the total warehouse space stock in Poland will exceed 25 million m². According to JLL, Upper Silesia stood out among the Big Five markets with the largest increase in new supply in the first three quarters of 2021. Developer activity in the region continues to grow.
"The construction of 7R City Park Katowice I is related to the revitalization of post-industrial space. By taking up this challenge, we have a chance to restore the usefulness of the place which once housed Poland's largest copper and brass rolling mill. Brownfield investment is also an important element of the smart city concept and regional development, of which we want to be a part. Using urban brownfield locations, we can contribute toward sustainable construction, and provide facilities that support last-mile logistics processes and product development," said Bartłomiej Krawiecki, Vice-Chairman of the Board and COO of 7R.
