GLP, a leading investor and developer of logistics buildings and warehouses, announced its new Warsaw II Logistics Centre has received its occupancy permit and leased a 6,000 sqm unit to Omida Group, one of the most recognisable TSL brands in Poland.
The 32,000 sqm logistics centre in Wypędy, near Warsaw, is GLP’s first project in the Polish market and was developed in accordance with the new GLP Design Standard, raising the bar for new warehouse space in Poland.
Warsaw II Logistics Centre is strategically situated just a few minutes from Warsaw’s southern border, next to Expressway S8 and the Wypędy Junction, which enables easy access to Expressway S2 and Motorway A2.
The logistics centre benefits from GLP’s new Design Standard which includes many market-leading leading features including an additional 2 metres of clear height (a total of 12 metres), loading spaces with a depth of 24 metres for efficient loading/unloading, a reinforced solar-panel-ready roof and reinforced floors in the entire facility. Beyond this, customers will enjoy substantial savings thanks to the LED lighting systems and DALI smart control and metering functionality to track their real-time energy consumption. The facility has also received a BREEAM “Very Good” certification. As of this month, the first company to enjoy those benefits is Omida.
“At just three minutes from the city limits, the location allows for more efficient logistics operations as well as happier employees – in addition to the new design standards, these are the main strengths of Warsaw II Logistics Centre. I’m happy to see Omida become the first customer to use dedicated space for companies that want to gain an advantage in this competitive market. Given the high demand for warehouse properties in the immediate vicinity of Warsaw, we’re ready to launch new projects soon: next to Expressway S8 in Kobyłka and near Motorway A2 in Grodzisk Mazowiecki. Both will comply with the high GLP Design Standard,” says Tomasz Arent, Business Development Manager responsible for the Warsaw region at GLP Poland.
“In response to the growing demand of our clients for logistics services, including those related to e-commerce projects, we decided to provide them with additional services. We will use this new space for the development of contract logistics and e-commerce logistics, as well as for servicing our clients who expect cooperation in the field of other warehouse logistics services, such as cross-docking, co-packing and customs warehouse management. Poland is one of the countries in Europe where the dynamics of this growth is the highest. The GLP logistics centre, including its location, above-standard height, and the possibility of expansion, perfectly meets our needs,” says Piotr Przybylski, Logistics Director, OMIDA Logistics.
