Accolade completed the development of a new park in Elbląg - the second largest city of the Warmian - Masurian Voivodeship, Poland. This 20,000m² warehouse, consisting of 2 buildings, is situated on a 7 ha plot and is fully leased to two tenants: Flex (FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL POLAND SP. Z O.O) and DPD.
Elbląg Park is situated just five kilometres from the city centre, and a 35-minute drive from the port of Gdansk. Its proximity to the S7 expressway means it is also well-connected to Warsaw and Krakow. Elbląg, with a population of 120,000 inhabitants and two universities, struggles with a relatively high unemployment rate.
“The creation of our new industrial park brings with it 200 new jobs. Elbląg offers access to a wide range of potential employees, and we are looking forward to filling the gap on the local employment market," commented Jarek Wnuk, Managing Director of Accolade Poland. “Currently there are no other class A warehouses in the immediate vicinity, and this is not the first time that we have entered a logistically underserved region and thrived. Accolade’s strategy to choose locations that are not obvious choices at first glance is based on our years of experience and ability to identify the potential of smaller cities and grow them together. Elbląg is another example of this successful approach - the park is already fully leased.”
As with all the parks in Accolade portfolio, the Elbląg park is BREEAM certified (Very Good) and will soon be equipped with Accolade’s green solutions, such as e-waste containers, AEDs, and little landscaping on the plot surrounding the buildings.
