Logicor starts construction at prime logistics location in Gothenburg

Logicor, an owner, manager, and developer of European logistics real estate, has begun the construction of a state-of-the-art logistics facility in Backa, Gothenburg, Sweden. The new facility is part of Logicor’s strategic expansion within the Swedish market.

The groundbreaking took place in collaboration with the contracted builder Johansson & Rehn, property developers, the project team from WSP and Arris, and other distinguished guests.

The former industrial site is situated just six kilometres north of central Gothenburg, directly adjacent to the E6 which connects Gothenburg with cities including Stockholm, Oslo, and Copenhagen.

The new building in Backa, Gothenburg will be developed to meet high environmental standards, targeting BREEAM Excellent certification.

“We look forward to developing a state-of-the-art logistics facility in one of the best locations in Gothenburg. We know our customers want to be close to rapidly growing logistics hubs so they can deliver to their customers in the most efficient way, which is the demand this site, once developed, will meet,” said Christoffer Walljaeger, Director of Asset Management at Logicor, Sweden.

In the past year, Logicor’s property portfolio in Sweden has grown significantly, with the acquisition of prime sites in Nykvarn in Stockholm South, Staffanstorp in Malmö and the development of the facility in Rosersberg. Additionally, the construction of its development in Länna, south of Stockholm, is near completion.

This expansion will meet the ongoing demand for modern and sustainable logistics properties in prime locations, which continue to outstrip supply.

“This is a great and important location with the E6 nearby, connecting Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, as well as the proximity to the Nordic region’s largest port, the Port of Gothenburg. Logicor’s development in the area is gratifying and shows that Gothenburg remains the main gateway to the rest of Europe and a strategically important place for logistics and transportation,” said Mattias Tykesson, Chairman of the Gothenburg Moderates and member of the Gothenburg City Council and the City Property Committee.
