Panattoni Park Nadarzyn II construction begins
Panattoni has started construction of Panattoni Park Nadarzyn II. The development is being built on a site of almost 20 ha and will take up almost 100,000 sqm.
The company is to deliver two buildings that will provide a combined area of 91,000 sqm. Over half the space in the first of these is to be taken up by an international logistics firm, which will use the centre to run operations for a global leader in the interior furnishings sector. The tenant is to be granted early access to the facility from February 2023. The development is to be certified under BREEAM for a rating of ‘Excellent’.
“The strength of the Warsaw market are the numerous towns not far from the city that when combined with the possibilities provided by Warsaw itself give the region massive potential,” says Marek Dobrzycki, Managing Director of Panattoni.
