EQT Real Estate signs BTS lease with DHL Supply Chain for dedicated logistics facility

EQT announced that the EQT Exeter Logistics Value Fund IV (“EQT Real Estate”) has signed a build-to-suit lease agreement with DHL Supply Chain for a dedicated logistics facility at EQT Real Estate Park Gliwice I.

Hall B, the new space being developed for DHL Supply Chain, will be tailored to the tenant’s operational processes, a key feature of projects delivered under the build-to-suit model. In this approach, the building is designed from the outset around the specific requirements of the occupier, its scale of operations and operational setup. Features of Hall B will include a clear height of 12 meters, heat pumps and a photovoltaic installation.

The project for DHL Supply Chain marks another important stage in the development of EQT Real Estate Park Gliwice I. EQT Real Estate has previously successfully commercialised Hall A, which was leased to a client from the logistics sector. The next planned phase of the park’s expansion is Hall C, which is expected to be developed as a single 63,000 sqm building.

EQT Real Estate Park Gliwice I is a modern logistics and industrial park located in the heart of Upper Silesia, one of the most important industrial and logistics regions in Central Europe. With direct access to the A4 motorway and proximity to the A1 motorway, the project provides efficient connections to Poland’s main economic centres and international markets. Once completed, the complex will comprise more than 120,000 sqm of warehouse and production space, offering both modern logistics modules and facilities delivered under the build-to-suit model.

Krzysztof Myśliwiec, Investment and Leasing Specialist, EQT Real Estate, said: “The project being delivered for DHL Supply Chain is a strong example of what the build-to-suit model means in practice. We are creating a facility tailored to the operational processes of a specific tenant, being delivered to an advanced technical standard and located in one of the most important logistics and industrial locations in Poland. Upper Silesia remains one of the leading hubs in Central Europe, and we are developing EQT Real Estate Park Gliwice I phase by phase.”
