Prologis is to develop a 11,740 m2 build-to-suit (BTS) facility for German logistics operator Geis in Central Poland.
The project, located at Prologis Park Stryków, is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The new cross-dock facility will feature a large number of loading gates on both sides of the building. At the request of the Geis, both the parking area and the picking area will be expanded, whereas the office space will be provided in the form of a pop-out office.
'We needed a trustworthy and reliable partner. We chose Prologis because of our long-standing relationship with the company in the Czech Republic, where we have our distribution facility at Prologis Park Ostrava,' said Michal Martinovic, managing director Central and Eastern Europe, Geis Group. 'We also took into account the excellent location of Prologis Park Stryków, which has access to the A1 and A2 motorways, as well as the fact that Prologis owned the land, which enabled the project to begin immediately.'
Prologis Park Stryków is located within one kilometre of the junction of two main motorways: A1/E75 (Gdansk-Vienna) and A2/E30 (Berlin-Moscow). The road infrastructure connects the Lódz Metropolitan Area with the entire country. At completion, the park will comprise 115,500 m2 of modern logistics space.
Prologis says it is the leading provider of distribution facilities in Central and Eastern Europe, with operations in four countries and a portfolio totalling 4.3 million m2 in the region.
