MDC2 has bought a new development site in the Upper Silesia region that will accommodate a warehouse and logistics project. Located in Gliwice on the intersection of A1 and A4 motorways, one of the main east-west and north-south junctions in Poland, MDC2 Park Gliwice will add 52,000m² of modern and environmentally sustainable warehouse and logistics space.
MDC2 Park Gliwice will feature a three-building complex with flexible modules responding to the needs of retail, e-commerce and manufacturing clients. The investment plot covers 13.4 hectares and is located in one of the most strategic sites in the Gliwice area. The property will be designed and built with sustainability and ESG as core principles. MDC2 construction team is aiming to ensure the site will be certified to BREEAM New Construction Excellent as standard. The design will give tenants an outdoor sports facility on site as well as innovative green areas.
“Upper Silesia is one of the most attractive warehouse regions in Poland with a growing interest among tenants. MDC2 Park Gliwice brings to this market a mix of key attributes desired by tenants - flexible space and great location offering good connectivity and access to the labour force. We are also pleased to have a well-established investor on board that will bring valuable know-how and market knowledge to this project,” said Katarzyna Dudzik, Development Director at MDC2 responsible for Southern Poland.
Commencement of construction works is planned for Q3 2021, with completion expected Q2 2022. MDC2 is building the entire project on a speculative basis, given their confidence in the project and market.
“We see great potential in the logistics sector which continued to thrive during the pandemic, boosted by such trends as the expansion of e-commerce and relocation of supply chains to the CEE region. All this leads us to believe in the success of this investment,” said Hadley Dean, Founder of MDC2.
