Panattoni Europe increases investment plans for logistics facilities in Europe – EuropaProperty

The investment plan recently adopted by Panattoni Europe for the German market, worth €200 million, has just gone up with another instalment added. It amounts to €150 million, earmarked for new facilities development in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, as well as selected projects in some other countries in the region. The plan may be expanded further by additional instalments, if market dynamics remain high and the supply-demand balance is maintained.

Robert Dobrzycki, Managing Partner Panattoni Europe reiterates that “Panattoni leads the market of logistics facilities in Poland and consistently improves its standing in the Czech Republic and Germany, capitalising on the fact that the centre of gravity for logistics in Europe is and will remain in this part of the continent. The demand for modern logistics facilities is enhanced by the super-fast growth of e-commerce, continuing supply chain streamlining and general improvement of the economic outlook in Europe. The relocation of manufacturing processes from Western Europe to Central Europe, mainly to Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, is an additional factor which keeps these markets in very good condition.”

In Poland, the company is now developing 374,000 sqm of modern logistics space, which reinforces its unparalleled leadership status in the market.
