Construction work begins on Panattoni Park Gdańsk City Airport with 18,400 sqm of speculative space

Panattoni, the world’s most active industrial real estate developer, has begun work on Panattoni Park Gdańsk City Airport, a new project in the district of Pomerania. The development is being built on a speculative basis and will comprise two modern distribution buildings with a combined area of over18,400 sqm.

Being located in the direct vicinity of Gdańsk Airport and within 3 km of the Tricity bypass, the centre has excellent connections to both local and international transport infrastructure. It is around 20 km from the seaport and the Baltic Hub Deepwater Container Terminal while being just 13 km from the centre of the city. Panattoni Park Gdańsk City Airport will comprise two buildings, one of 14,702 sqm and the other of 4,351 sqm.

“As its transport infrastructure continues to be developed and extended, Gdańsk has become a very attractive city for business where demand for industrial space remains high. This is due to its location near one of the largest seaports in Europe. However, for our latest project the neighbouring airport also plays an important role. Taken together with all of the other benefits of the location, this creates a unique combination of transport options for logistics operations,” explains Martyna Sochaczewska, the Leasing Director at Panattoni and she adds: “Up till now, we have developed almost 700,000 sqm of modern industrial space in the Tricity area. Panattoni Park Gdańsk City Airport is to be our latest park, which will not only take advantage of a superb location but will also contribute to the growth of the entire region by creating new jobs and strengthening the Tricity’s position as one of the continent’s important logistics points.”

Panattoni Park Gdańsk City Airport is to undergo BREEAM certification for a rating of Excellent to confirm that it meets the highest standards of sustainable development. The latest technology is to be used in the project to save both water and energy while solutions are also to be applied to enhance user well-being including improved access to natural light with office space designed to provide thermal comfort as well as better acoustics and air quality.

Development around the Tricity. Panattoni continues to develop its range of industrial properties in the Tricity area. This is one of the strongest urban areas in both Poland and Europe with a strategic location where the trade routes cross that join Scandinavia with Northern Europe and Poland with the Baltics. This is where many companies from different industries are based, which is undoubtedly partially due to the location of Poland’s largest seaport and to the largest container port on the Baltic sea with 81 mln tonnes of goods handled in 2023 (representing a 17% rise on the previous year). Additionally last year, Gdańsk’s airport handled over 5.9 mln passengers – an almost record high number – as well as 11,000 tonnes of cargo (13% more than in the previous year).
