CBRE Romania announced that DHL Express will open a new logistics centre in VGP Park Bucharest North, located near Bucharest. The lease of the new centre’s space, with an area of 4,109 sqm, was facilitated by CBRE Romania.
The logistics centre will specialize in sorting parcels arriving by air, ensuring fast delivery to DHL Express customers in Romania. The strategic location of VGP Park Bucharest North, near the A3 Bucharest-Ploiești highway, facilitates quick access to the road transport network, thus optimizing the delivery process.
“We are delighted that we will be able to operate this new logistics centre in VGP Park Bucharest North, which will allow us to significantly improve our shipment sorting and delivery capacity, as well as ensure the safety & security of our customers’ goods and employees’ routes in Romania. This strategic investment reflects our continuous commitment to the Romanian market and strengthens our position as a market leader in the express courier industry”, highlighted Bogdan Enache, Managing Director of DHL Express Romania.
The new DHL Express logistics facility will operate in the third completed building in VGP Park Bucharest North, a modern construction with a total area of 26,966 sqm. This innovative building, rated BREEAM Excellent, uses heat pumps for heating, ensuring superior energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact, eliminating the need to use gas.
“VGP Park Bucharest North enjoys a strategic location, with direct access to the A3 and A0 highways, the latter simplifying access to the airport. This excellent connectivity was made possible thanks to significant investments in infrastructure, which have transformed the park into a first-class logistics centre. The development of road infrastructure, especially the highway, has played a crucial role in facilitating the rapid and efficient transport of goods to and from the park,” added Călin Badea, I&L consultant at CBRE Romania.
At a national level, CBRE data highlights an upward trend in the logistics sector, characterized by an increasing demand for modern and efficient logistics spaces, strategically located near airports and main transport routes. This growth is supported by Romania’s access to the Schengen area, which has simplified the transit of goods by eliminating controls at internal air borders, thus strengthening Romania’s role as an important logistics centre in the region.
