Eika Asset Management has acquired a 9-hectare plot of land in Skawina, with Panattoni, EAM’s long-term partner, responsible for the development. Construction is set to begin in summer 2026, with completion of the facility planned for July 2027.
“Our strategy of investing in logistics assets in Poland is clearly proving successful. We can see this from the strong tenant interest, even before the development phase has begun. This confirms to our partners and investors that we invest responsibly and create value for our fund participants. We are very positive about the prospects of this project,” says Paulius Stulgaitis, Fund Manager at Eika Asset Management.
“Małopolska, and the Kraków metropolitan area in particular, remains one of the most demanding logistics markets in Poland – primarily due to the very limited availability of investment land. At the same time, it is a region with strong business potential, attracting companies from the logistics, manufacturing and e-commerce sectors. The launch of Panattoni Park Kraków West IV is an important step in our continued expansion in this part of the country and a response to stable tenant demand for modern, operationally efficient warehouse space. Projects delivered in such locations and to such standards represent assets that generate long-term value for investors,” says Michał Samborski, Regional Managing Director & Head of Development at Panattoni.
The first tenant will use Panattoni Park Kraków West IV for warehousing and distribution of finished goods, including wholesale and retail sales. The decision to relocate was driven by the company’s growth and the need to scale up operations, which was no longer possible at its current premises. Maintaining the existing operational zone in the southern part of Kraków was also a key factor, allowing the tenant to preserve workforce continuity and reduce the risk of losing skilled staff. The high technical standard of the building will also enable optimisation of operating costs. Under the lease agreement, the tenant has also secured approximately 800 sqm of office and social space spread across two floors. Operations at the new location are planned to commence in the third quarter of 2027.
The park has been designed for companies in the logistics, e-commerce and light manufacturing sectors, as well as those operating in automotive, new technologies and FMCG. The flexible floor plates will allow modules to be tailored to individual tenant requirements, supporting operational efficiency and long-term growth. The investment will receive BREEAM Excellent environmental certification.
“The divide between high-quality and older logistics facilities is clearly widening. Tenants are increasingly making decisions not only based on price, but also on efficiency, energy performance, and sustainability. As a result, modern facilities that meet the latest technical and ESG standards and are located in strategically attractive areas are becoming not only more desirable but also significantly more resilient to economic cycles,” adds Paulius Stulgaitis.
