Panattoni has begun construction of a new park in the region of Greater Poland's capital: Panattoni Park Poznań East II will be located near the A2 motorway and will comprise 37,000m². The first tenant will be logistics operator GEODIS, occupying 8500m². The facility will be developed in accordance with a very high level of environmental certification: BREEAM Excellent. Approximately 8500m² will be occupied by Geodis, a global leader in transport and logistics. The company has recently taken over a logistics operator -PEKAES - for whom Panattoni has previously completed 11 developments across the country. The company has been strongly associated with the Greater Poland region for years, and its local branch is located in Gadki, where the park is being built. Geodis will begin operations at the facility in October 2023.
"The decision to build a new park in the Greater Poland region is dictated by strong market data, which shows that this region is, for another quarter in a row, one of the most popular in terms of demand for industrial space in Poland," said Katarzyn Kujawiak, Development Director at Panattoni. "The experience gained from more than ten realizations for GEODIS, is proving invaluable during the current cooperation. We are providing dedicated space, which will mostly be a cross-dock warehouse with a covered side ramp for unloading. Years of cooperation confirm how much a proven developer means to understand the needs of a logistics operator."
“Growth, operational excellence, and customer focus are the DNA of GEODIS. New investments and the development of the distribution network are part of the company's long-term strategy and operating philosophy. The city of Poznan, together with the entire potential of the Wielkopolska region, play a key role on the map of GEODIS' logistical operations,” commented Olivier Royer, Executive Vice President of GEODIS European Road Network activity.
