Build-to-suit

A build-to-suit (BTS) investment is a warehouse facility designed and constructed specifically for a dedicated user. 

BTS projects, in contrast to available speculative space, are highly flexible in terms of: 

  • Location - facilities can be developed on real estate tracts within a developer's land bank or on the client's own land. The most advanced form of BTS projects are those executed based on the purchase of land accepted by the client as suitable for conducting their business activity.
  • Industrial space -depends on the client's operating needs
  • Office space- depending on the client's operating needs, the typical standard provides 2m² of floor space and 13 m³ of cubature per one employee;
  • Type of cooperation - the possibilities are either to lease, or to construct with a view to selling the investment to another client or investor;
  • Purpose – whether for a warehouse-sorting plant, light production, heavy production, or any other activity taking place on the real estate as the object of the investment, in keeping with the client's wishes we prepare and coordinate the technological and technical infrastructure used for operating processes. 

The aim of the cooperation is the execution of an investment after assessing the specific needs of prospective tenant or tenants in order to maximize storage space, optimize production and adapt the space to the technical requirements of the conducted business (e.g. specialist technical space, conveyer belts, sorting devices, technological production lines, non-standard needs for electricity or specific location). 

The client has the possibility of shaping the space from the very beginning. Thanks to the BTS system the client defines the plans according to their own needs and the project can be executed exactly in keeping with their requirements. The tenant is able to create office or warehouse space modules, providing as much space as is needed, designed in a way that achieves the most efficient use of the space. The construction of BTS projects takes place in an optimal timeframe, adjusted to the type of project and the client’s preferences. 

Advantages of BTS Schemes: 

  • choice of convenient location and investment form
  • cooperation with a dedicated BTS team
  • savings in terms of investment and operating costs
  • consulting on the scope of optimizing logistic processes
  • solutions adjusted to the client's industry profile

Property Management

The product we offer our client as a developer is not only high-standard space for lease, but also includes a package of professional management services. Property management experts are engaged in the cooperation with clients as early as the initial phase of the investment, upon contract conclusion. They familiarize themselves with the needs of tenants and adjust the building management systems accordingly. The whole management system is very flexible.

The Property Management Department focuses on managing existing facilities, as well as forecasting client needs and solving problems in the operation of the facility on a day to day basis. The key tasks fulfilled by the department consist of:

  • Technical maintenance of buildings and infrastructure - maintaining the appropriate condition of buildings, access roads to warehouses, conducting technical and maintenance checks in keeping with construction law, preparing operation and maintenance documentation of machinery as well as meeting the individual needs of tenants in order to ensure maximum user safety and machine efficiency;
  • Performing lease contract provisions - daily customer care arising under individually agreed lease contracts;
  • Financial settlements – Panattoni is responsible for maintaining detailed financial documentation of the costs of the park's functioning and consumption of utilities. The documentation is accessible for tenants;
  • 24-hour security - access to the park is secured including procedures of admitting clients, employees or counterparties individually agreed with tenants and tailored to their needs;
  • Branding - Panattoni enables customers to brand the facilities with their logos. The park's branding concept is executed in accordance with a coherent identification system, created by the our marketing department, which ensures the warehouses always look professional.  One of the main tasks of the Property Management department is the selection of reliable subcontractors, which deal with the following issues: machine maintenance, upkeep, etc. Panattoni puts emphasis on informing its clients about payment for utilities, the status of raised issues and the dates of maintenance checks.
