Peakside Starts The Construction Of City Park Okęcie
Property Forum
Peakside Starts The Construction Of City Park OkęcieThe cornerstone-laying ceremony at City Point Okęcie marked the official launch of the construction of the project. The event also provided an opportunity to formally announce Welcome Airport Services as the sole tenant of the warehouse. Jointly developed by Peakside Capital Advisors and Partners Group, the 11,000 sqm project incorporates sustainable construction practices alongside advanced technologies in energy efficiency and water management. The facility is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2025. The cornerstone-laying ceremony at City Point Okęcie was attended by representatives of the key stakeholders involved in the project, which is being developed jointly by Peakside Capital Advisors and Partners Group. The development has been pre-leased to Welcome Airport Services, a rapidly growing aviation company planning to establish an international Cargo terminal at the new site. Depenbrock Polska has been appointed as the general contractor. Throughout the planning and execution stages, the developers are supported by the team comprising ONE Architekci, an architectural studio specialising in industrial developments; City Corsite, responsible for pre-development advisory; and 2MPM, tasked with construction oversight and schedule management. City Point Okęcie is a Build-to-Suit (BTS) development, comprising more than 11,000 sqm of premium warehouse space and modern office accommodation. It has been designed to meet stringent environmental standards. “City Point Okęcie will undoubtedly set a new benchmark as one of Warsaw’s most technologically advanced city logistics parks, as well as being among the leading sustainable industrial developments globally. Sustainability lies at the heart of our strategy. Through our holistic approach, we have incorporated future-proof solutions into the design, ensuring optimal operational efficiency and resilience against the impacts of climate change”, said Roman SkowroƄski, Managing Director at Peakside Capital Advisors in Poland. “As a company operating in the aviation sector, we are acutely aware of air transport's environmental footprint. Therefore, our mission extends beyond delivering exceptional service and encompasses a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Our involvement in the City Point Okęcie project reflects our pursuit of these objectives. This development demonstrates how cutting-edge, environmentally friendly technologies and best practices can effectively support the dynamic growth of the aviation industry. As the tenant, we look forward to operating from a facility thoughtfully designed for the future, in accordance with rigorous environmental and energy-efficiency standards. We firmly believe this forward-thinking approach to industrial development addresses today’s environmental challenges while laying a strong foundation for future innovation in our sector”, said RadosƂaw Ć»uk, Vice President of the Management Board of Welcome Airport Services. “We take great pride, as the General Contractor, in contributing to a project that raises the bar for modern logistics facilities in Poland and across Europe. City Point Okęcie embodies our vision for innovative, sustainable construction underpinned by precision, advanced technology, and robust engineering solutions. From its inception, this development has demanded meticulous planning, exceptional coordination, and unwavering commitment from every stakeholder – from the developers and designers to our construction teams. Delivering this facility adjacent to a major international airport, particularly within an intensive schedule that includes winter construction works, presents significant logistical and engineering challenges. The project requires ensuring both operational excellence and the highest standards of construction quality”, said Marcin Popek, Project Manager at Depenbrock Polska. A key objective of City Point Okęcie is the reduction of operational carbon emissions through the integration of renewable energy sources. The building will feature an advanced Building Management System (BMS) designed to monitor and optimise energy and water consumption, as well as high-efficiency LED lighting to ensure both sustainability and occupant comfort. City Point Okęcie will incorporate advanced water management systems, including a rainwater harvesting solution intended to significantly reduce potable water usage by supplying water for sanitary purposes. The surrounding landscape will be planted with native trees, shrubs, grasses, and other vegetation selected specifically for resilience to local climate conditions, thereby eliminating the need for supplementary irrigation. The project is strategically positioned in close proximity to Warsaw Chopin Airport on Kinetyczna Street, adjacent to the Warsaw Southern Bypass (S2 expressway) and the S79 expressway (connected with Marynarska and Sasanki Streets), with access to the airport apron on its northern side.

Panattoni Completes 41,000 Sqm Project In Central Poland
Property Forum
Panattoni Completes 41,000 Sqm Project In Central PolandPanattoni has completed the expansion of Panattoni Park Koluszki and obtained an occupancy permit. Located in central Poland, the industrial park is now fully leased. "Panattoni Park Koluszki is another example of our strategy of delivering high-quality, flexible logistics and production spaces precisely where our customers need them most," commented Dorota JagodziƄska-Sasson, Managing Director at Panattoni.  The investment was expanded by nearly 15,000 sqm, occupied by two existing tenants of the park. Kamoka, a European automotive parts brand, operates a modern distribution centre at this location, which, after expansion, totals 26,500 sqm. The second tenant is Pet Republic, part of the multifood LipCo Foods group, a producer of wet pet food, which operates an automated production facility along with warehouse space totalling 13,700 sqm. "We have been growing dynamically since opening the plant in 2021. Within two years, we've maximized our production capacities. In Poland, we are already present in most retail chains, and we export to over 36 countries across Europe, Africa, and Central Asia. We continually attract new customers, which required increasing our production capacities by adding new lines for can and pouch production", said JarosƂaw Kowalewski, CEO of the Pet Republic, which develops the pet food segment within the multifood LipCo Foods group.  "We chose this location because of its central position in Poland, close to the major transportation hub connecting the A1 and A2 motorways. This allows us access to high-quality raw materials for our production, contributing significantly to our competitive pricing", said Anna Mystkowska, Production and Technology Director at Pet Republic. She added, "Quality and sanitary-epidemiological requirements for pet food manufacturing plants are as stringent as those for human food production facilities. We selected Panattoni because it was the only company willing to build a facility for us in this location."

Panattoni Secures €26 Million For New Investment In Kraków
Property Forum
Panattoni Secures €26 Million For New Investment In KrakówPanattoni has secured financing from mBank for its latest project in the MaƂopolska region of Poland. The €26 million funding will be used to develop the new logistics complex, Panattoni Park Kraków East V. Panattoni’s new investment aligns with the growth of the MaƂopolska warehouse market, which recently exceeded 1 million square meters of total space. "We have delivered about one-third of the total supply to Kraków's industrial property market. This region is particularly challenging due to the limited availability of land. It also has one of the lowest vacancy rates in Poland, demonstrating significant tenant interest in modern warehouse spaces", said Emilia Taczewska-TrojaƄska, Head of Debt Finance Poland at Panattoni. She added, "Securing financing from mBank for Panattoni Park Kraków East, our latest investment in MaƂopolska, confirms the financial market's confidence in our projects and the stability of Poland's logistics real estate sector." Panattoni Park Kraków East V is being built on a 10-hectare site in Zakrzów, with construction work starting in October last year. The project includes a building of 39,000 square meters that will achieve a BREEAM Excellent certification. Flexible modular conditions will enable the facility to accommodate various processes, from typical logistics operations to light manufacturing. One of the first tenants is Highway Automotive, which will occupy 8,000 square meters. Starting in May, the company will supply global markets from this location with parts for trucks, buses, and construction and agricultural machinery.

Property Forum
Panattoni Finds Tenant For 56,000 Sqm In Lower SilesiaA leader in fashion retail has leased 56,000 sqm at Panattoni Park Legnica (Lower Silesia, southwestern Poland).  "Our leasing performance last year underscores Lower Silesia’s role as a key logistics hub in this part of Europe. It also demonstrates that e-commerce continues to drive demand for modern, well-located industrial spaces," says Marek Dobrzycki, Partner at Panattoni. He adds: "In a short time, we've signed two agreements in the region with a significant player in the fashion industry - first in GƂogów and now in Legnica. Combined, these leases cover 95,000 sqm dedicated to e-commerce operations. The tenant has already gained early access to the rented space in the Legnica park and is preparing to launch regular operations." Panattoni Park Legnica is the first modern logistics park near the city of Legnica. It is located along the S3 expressway, running along Poland’s western border - from ƚwinoujƛcie to Lubawka at the Czech border. The nearby A4 motorway connects the southwest and southeast regions of Poland. Ultimately, the park will encompass nearly 120,000 sqm. The space can be flexibly adapted to tenant needs, and the facility features spacious manoeuvring areas, ground-level gates, and convenient parking.

Arete Doubles Photovoltaic Panel Capacity In Industrial Park In Moravia
Property Forum
Arete Doubles Photovoltaic Panel Capacity In Industrial Park In MoraviaThe second phase of solar power plant installation at ARETE Park ValaĆĄskĂ© Meziƙíčí has been completed. Photovoltaic panels with a total capacity of nearly 1 MW have been installed on the rooftops of two buildings. This installation has increased the original capacity by 50%. The plant is connected to the transmission system and generates up to 950 MWh of clean energy annually, supplying power to the park’s tenant while selling any surplus electricity to the grid.  Each MWh of solar-generated electricity prevents the release of 370 kg of CO₂ into the atmosphere, based on the current average emission factor of electricity in the Czech Republic (370 kg CO₂/MWh). Annually, the park’s solar energy production prevents approximately 351.5 tons of CO₂ emissions from being released into the atmosphere. This reduced carbon footprint is equivalent to the emissions produced by 320 Czech households from electricity consumption alone. ARETE Park ValaĆĄskĂ© Meziƙíčí spans over 25,000 sqm of industrial space and is fully leased to DB Schenker. As part of its collaboration with DB Schenker, the park is equipped with EV charging stations for VOLVO FH AERO Electric trucks, which are used on regular international routes to Hungary. Charging stations have been installed at DB Schenker’s terminals across the Czech Republic (including ValaĆĄskĂ© Meziƙíčí, Brno, and Prague) and Slovakia (Bratislava) to support overnight charging or en route charging to the final destination.  "We always strive to support our tenants and adapt our industrial parks to best meet their needs," said Lubor Svoboda, Co-founder at ARETE Group. "The implementation of solar power and EV charging stations in this park is an example of our collaboration with DB Schenker, a company that prioritises sustainability and energy self-sufficiency."  ARETE INDUSTRIAL is among the first “light green” real estate funds in Central Europe, classified under the European SFDR regulation.
