Panattoni Park Poznań West Gate nearly fully commercialised. DFDS is the latest logistics operator to enter the complex

Panattoni, the European industrial real estate market leader, has demonstrated how attractive the Tarnów Podgórny location and the Wielkopolska region are. The developer has leased out around 58,000 sqm of the total 61,000 sqm of Panattoni Park Poznań West Gate. DFDS, a company that offers comprehensive transport and logistics services across the whole of Europe, is to use almost 10,500 sqm.

Wielkopolska, Panattoni and the debut of large space. In Q3, of the previous year, the Poznań region with 300,000 sqm found itself among the top three most attractive markets by demand for industrial space. The superb location with excellent connections to key economic centres both in Poland and Europe attracts a host of industries, including logistics. The demand is met by companies such as Panattoni, which has supplied over 2 mln sqm of space in the region.

An example of the interest logistics companies show in the Wielkopolska market would be Panattoni Park Poznań West Gate in Tarnów Podgórny, where space is leased by two international operators. One of these is DFDS, for whom the developer has supplied a through-flow warehouse with an area of 10,500 sqm and a net storage height of 12m. DFDS specialises in comprehensive logistics and transport solutions via road, rail and sea. It has terminals in many European countries including Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK. The Tarnów Podgórny project is the company’s first large space warehouse development in Poland. The modern centre, which is adapted to meet the company’s needs, will allow for the efficient running of operations and the fulfilment of a full range of logistics services.

“The experience we have acquired through developing numerous projects for the logistics industry – including both bespoke solutions and projects within our industrial parks – is once again paying back dividends. DFDS has come to us for the first time and straight away it is with a project of strategic importance for its presence in the region. By choosing us, the operator not only gains an individual approach with the highest quality space, but also a superb location with huge prospects for further development as well as for finding new clients,” says Przemysław Musiał, Senior Leasing Manager at Panattoni.
