Panattoni Europe builds-to-own for Selgros Sp. z o.o. 10,200 sqm in Ożarów Mazowiecki

Panattoni Europe, leading developer of industrial space, has launched the construction of a warehouse facility for Selgros Sp. z o.o. The new 10,200-square-metre build-to-own (BTO) investment is going up in Ożarów Mazowiecki. Completion is anticipated in Q3 2015.

Panattoni Europe builds facilities for customers to own. A new build-to-own (BTO) investment is going up, commissioned by Selgros Sp. z o.o. - a cash & carry chain offering comprehensive supplies for professional customers, e.g. restaurants, caterers, hotels and retailers. The facility under development in Ożarów will feature total space of 10,200 sqm. In line with the business concept pursued by Selgros Sp. z o.o., the warehouse will take up 9,000 sqm, with a 1,500-square-metre freezer warehouse and 800-square-metre cold storage, while office space will take up 1,200 sqm. Project completion is planned for Q3 of 2015.

Build-to-own (BTO) project commissioned by the FMCG sector. Panattoni Europe has extensive experience in developing warehouse facilities commissioned by future owners. The company provides a comprehensive service - from finding the right site for development, through following all the legal and administrative procedures, to supervising construction, acceptance of the finished facility and delivery to the customer. Robert Dobrzycki, Managing Partner of Panattoni Europe offers a comment: "Developments of this kind invariably provide an interesting challenge for us, enhanced by the profile of the business sector of the customer for whom the investment is to be developed. In this case, we are responsible for the comprehensive development of a warehouse facility dedicated to fast-moving consumer goods, which calls for some special solutions. In fact, we are building an advanced distribution centre which, due to the diversity of the goods stored, including fresh, frozen and even non-food products, and their temperature requirements, will feature warehouse space divided into sections with variable temperature, including cold store and freezer warehouse."

The right location and accessibility of the transport network play a crucial role in the FMCG business. A strategic choice of location not only reduces the amount of time it takes to deliver products to the chain's stores, but also helps reduce transport costs. That is why the facility for Selgros Sp. z o.o. built in Ożarów enjoys one of the best locations in Poland. The centre will boast the proximity to the country's capital and the major transport routes - it is right next to the national road 92, linking Rzepin with Poznań and Warsaw, and also not far from the European route E30.

Panattoni Europe celebrates its 10-year anniversary in the European market. Since 2005, the developer has delivered 3.1 million square metres of space for more than 200 customers and together with Amazon closed a record-breaking lease transaction in the CEE region. The company now has more than 295,000 sqm of industrial space in the pipeline. The projects currently under development comprise the extensions of own logistics centres in Poznań, Łódź and Wrocław, Kraków, Sosnowiec, Bielsko-Biała and Rzeszów. In terms of BTS manufacturing investments, key projects that deserve a mention are the 45,000-square-metre Intelligent Factory for GE Industrial Solutions in Bielsko-Biała or another investment for Faurecia at the Kostrzyn-Słubice Special Economic Zone in Gorzów Wielkopolski, as well as the extension of the automotive glass factory for Pilkington Automotive Poland in Chmielów.
