Bank PEKAO SA has granted an €80m loan for the development of Panattoni Park Bytom – the first such park to be built in this location by Panattoni.
“Panattoni Park Bytom is a huge project that will comprise 130,000m2 in what is for us a new location where we see huge potential. Bank PEKAO SA can also see this and has granted us a significantly-sized loan of €80m. More and more centres in Silesia are attracting both national and international giants from dozens of different industries. We remain consistent in our support for the region and we are providing it with modern industrial space. The support of financial institutions is essential for further growth and so we want to thank PEKAO SA, who have teamed up with us once again having seen the value in our projects,” said Karina Trojanska, the Chief Financial Officer at Panattoni.
“Bytom is an attractive location for business because it has all the benefits of the region including good communications, access to highly qualified labour, and a wide range of pre-developed land. It is also worth pointing out the openness and the pro-business attitude of the local authorities. At the same time the city does not possess a large amount of modern industrial space right now, so we can see lots of development potential,” said Aurelia Rachtan, the Senior Development Manager at Panattoni
Panattoni Park Bytom I will provide space for logistics operations, warehousing and production, social and office space as well as other accompanying facilities to help the operations of its future tenants. Furthermore, the 130,000m2 development will meet the highest sustainable construction standards so it is to be environmentally certified under BREEAM for a rating of ‘Excellent’. The developer is to employ solutions to limit CO2 emissions as well as energy and water usage. Additionally, Panattoni is to ensure above-standard insulation in the walls and roofs. Intelligent lighting and HVAC systems are also to be employed. Furthermore, workers in the centre will be able to make use of green areas in front of the offices and will also have cycling facilities and electric vehicle charging stations at their disposal while also having easy access to public transportation.
