7R, a developer specializing in high-quality warehouses, is preparing to start construction of 7R Park Bytom I. The project will be built in the spirit of ESG: it marks the revitalization of 25 ha of neglected land and will have numerous pro-environmental solutions, at the same time the developer has established cooperation with local authorities and actively supports the local community.
7R Park Bytom I will be built just 4.5 km from the centre of Bytom, near the highway and railroad junction, and close to Pyrzowice International Airport. There are bus, streetcar and train stops near the warehouse location, which will be a major convenience for the facility’s future employees.
New developments will be built on previously neglected and devastated land. 7R will revitalize as much as 25 ha. of wasteland. The investment will generate new, attractive workplaces. 7R Park Bytom I will have a well-being area for employees, which will be equipped with ergonomic seating designed by young artists selected in the “7R Warehouse of Art – Young Art for the Planet'” competition, which the developer organized in cooperation with the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts.
Moreover, as part of its ESG strategy commitments, the developer has supported the local community by installing modern water dispensers equipped with filters and UV lamps in 13 Bytom educational institutions. It provides children and young people with access to fresh water.
“Combining business, ecology and social responsibility is one of 7R’s priorities. 7R Park Bytom I will have well-being areas for employees and installations to reduce water and energy consumption. These are important solutions for our tenants, as they help them implement their ESG strategies,” said Joanna Ociepka-Wojciechowska, Regional Leasing Director at 7R.
The warehouse park will be built using environmentally friendly materials. Among other ecological solutions, the building will be provided with photovoltaic panels, energy-saving LED lighting and destratifiers to reduce heat loss, which, combined with the increased insulation of the buildings, will reduce operating costs.
There will also be a bicycle path and provided charging stations for electric cars near the 7R Park Bytom I complex. The project will be certified under the BREEAM system. 7R intends to achieve an Excellent level.
“Tenants are looking for functional warehouse space to support the growth of their business. 7R Park Bytom I will provide a product that meets the most sophisticated expectations of tenants,” said Maciej Krzyzak, Development Director at 7R.

The total area of the four buildings will be more than 121,000 sqm. Construction of the first warehouse is expected to start in the second half of 2023.
