Goodman Group, an owner, developer and manager of industrial property, has signed two lease agreements for a total of 12,000 sqm at Poznań Airport Logistics Centre. The new customers are Victaulic, a leader in mechanical pipe joining systems, and an exporter of food products. With these new agreements, the first warehouse at Goodman’s Poznań Airport Logistics Centre, totalling 16,500 sqm, is now 100 percent leased. Additionally, Goodman has begun construction of a new 17,000 sqm logistics facility, scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2016.
“With these new agreements, we have successfully leased the first stage of the Goodman Poznań Airport Logistics Centre. We see significant potential in the Poznań market, which benefits from a great geographical location and excellent infrastructure. Therefore, we decided to commence the construction of a speculative facility of 17,000 sqm, comprising the second phase of this investment,” said Maciej Madejak, Goodman Head of Business Development for Poland.
Victaulic has leased 4,200 sqm of warehouse space and 500 sqm of office space at the logistics centre. The facility will be used for the warehousing and distribution of couplings, fittings and valves, manufactured at Victaulic’s foundry in Drezdenko.
“The products manufactured in Poland are delivered mainly to European customers, but also distributed around the world to supplement products made at other Victaulic foundries. In order to ensure effective logistics for our production, we needed a modern facility at a prime location. Goodman Poznań Airport Logistics Centre provided the perfect solution,” said Pascal Fiers, Operations Manager at Victaulic.
The second new customer at the logistics centre is a company specialising in the distribution of food products to foreign markets. It has leased 6,800 sqm of warehouse space and 500 sqm of office space.
In the Victaulic transaction, the customer was represented by advisory firm JLL. “Warehouses in Poznań are generating strong interest not just from domestic customers but also those from Western Europe. The success of investments, such as Goodman Poznań Airport Logistics Centre, is determined by convenient road infrastructure, strategic geographic location and a dynamic business environment, making the region one of the most attractive markets in Poland,” said Tomasz Mika, Head of Industrial Department Poland at JLL.
Goodman Poznań Airport Logistics Centre, with a target lease area of 52,000 sqm, is located in close vicinity to Ławica Airport, with a direct connection to the A2 motorway via the S11 expressway connecting Poznań with Germany, Central Poland and Warsaw. At the logistics centre, Goodman offers modern logistics space for warehousing or light production, which is available for immediate development. The logistics centre is managed by Goodman’s team of in-house property experts that ensure that all facilities are maintained to the highest standard.
