JD.com is an e-commerce company headquartered in Beijing with approximately 570 million active users in China. It is the largest online retailer in the country and ranked 59th on Global Fortune 500 in 2021. It is well-known for its excellent logistics infrastructure – the company operates over 1,300 warehouses, covering an aggregate gross floor area of over 24 million sqm all over the world including 80 bonded warehouses and overseas warehouses, while its services reach 220 countries and regions. The company works closely with both local and leading international brands to be able to supply customers with a vast selection of products across every major category including FMCG, fresh food, clothing, household goods, baby products and many other goods. Despite this, it specialises in the sale of electronic equipment and the company’s international logistics warehouse in Nadarzyn is to be dedicated to this purpose.
The new JD International Logistics centre near Warsaw will be the company’s second in Poland. “The Chinese giant intends to expand its activities on the Old Continent. And so, its choice of location was carefully considered. The deciding factor was the superb location of our country in the centre of Europe and its great road, rail and flight connections with other countries. This is the first project we have undertaken with JD International Logistics, and we are convinced that this company highly values all of our previous e-commerce developments across Europe,” says Marek Dobrzycki, Managing Director, Panattoni.
Panattoni Park Nadarzyn comprises one modern warehouse building with an area of over 54,000 sqm. JD International Logistics will take up over 15,100 sqm within it, with the vast majority of the space comprising warehousing facilities. It includes the highest quality warehouse and office space tailored to meet the requirements of clients from different industries. The hall has modern loading docks, ground-level gates and large manoeuvring squares.
Panattoni has also completed the process of the building’s certification in the BREEAM International New Construction system at the level “Excellent”. The Park stands out in the area of efficient water and energy management as well as excellent care for high comfort levels and a friendly working environment for all of its users, both inside and outside the building, where relaxation zones have been equipped with, among others, ecological furniture made of phased-out wind turbines. In this way, Panattoni has been supporting the upcycling of the infrastructure producing green energy.
One of the advantages of the project is its superb location near Warsaw. The building is directly next to the S8 expressway between the Siestrzeń and Młochów junctions, which is ideal for distribution across Central Poland as well as across all of Europe. It is 25 km to the centre of Warsaw and 28 km to the city’s Chopin Airport.
