Panattoni has begun construction in Sulechów of nearly 90,000 sqm for BestSecret – a European members-only online destination for premium and luxury off-price fashion.
Panattoni Park Sulechów III will have 88,500 sqm and the possibility of expanding by another 42,000 sqm. BestSecret supplies goods to 27 countries in Europe, and the Sulechów location will be a key link in the company’s supply chain. BestSecret will serve all of its markets from the facility and will be an employer for a significant number of people in the region.
“At present, more than 30 percent of industrial facilities in Poland are dedicated to the e-commerce sector, and Panattoni, as a market leader, is leading the way and setting trends in this area. Our experience and capabilities translate into further developments, such as the commenced construction of a facility for BestSecret, which will be a further significant leasing client in the region going forward. Western Poland, and especially the Lubuskie region, once again confirms its potential for serving international companies, and I am sure that more than one more cornerstone will be laid in the near future precisely in the region of the western border. We are ready for further customized realizations”, said Aleksandra Kucharek, Development Director, Panattoni.
In addition to warehousing and distribution space, the facility will also include offices, which will occupy more than 10,000 sqm. The developer will also prepare the space for the use of multi-level racks (Pick Towers) and provide an elevated part of the building. The project will pass BREEAM certification at the Excellent level.
“The new investment in Sulechów is first and foremost a venture that allows BestSecret to develop its brand and the inhabitants of the municipality to find employment. I am convinced that many Sulechów residents will find work here, as well as residents of neighbouring municipalities who have so far been forced to commute many kilometres to their factories. I hope that this symbolic foundation stone is the beginning of fruitful cooperation and that the economic development of our municipality will have a positive impact on the development of the entire region”, commented Wojciech Sołtys, Mayor of Sulechów.
A key advantage of Sulechów is its proximity to the German border, which is just over an hour’s drive from the facility under construction. In addition, 30 minutes separate the locality from the region’s capital, Zielona Góra, which is an important advantage in terms of access to workers. Less than 7 km from the investment is the S3 road, which runs along the western border, and the Zielona Góra-Babimost Airport has located 11 km from the facility.
