City Point Targówek sets new EU standard with triple-certified warehouse for DPD Polska

The City Point Targówek logistics complex in Warsaw has achieved a groundbreaking milestone, with its first warehouse securing BREEAM Excellent, LEED Gold, and WELL Health-Safety Rating certifications. This achievement makes it the only warehouse project in the European Union to hold all three prestigious certifications, setting a new benchmark in sustainable and health-conscious city logistics.

Designed specifically for DPD Polska, the warehouse spans over 7,000 square meters and integrates advanced sustainability measures, state-of-the-art environmental technologies, and a strong focus on tenant well-being. Developed under a built-to-suit (BTS) model, the facility demonstrates a commitment to high construction standards, resource efficiency, and environmental stewardship.

The project was meticulously managed by PM Services Poland, which provided certification consultancy from the conceptual phase through to completion. The general contractor, Kajima Poland, delivered the first phase of construction, while Colliers Asset Services now oversees property management.

According to Katarzyna Krześniak, ESG Project Manager at Peakside Capital Advisors, sustainability was embedded into every aspect of the project. “City Point Targówek is our flagship development, and each stage has been carefully planned to meet the rigorous standards required for triple certification. The industrial real estate sector, being a major contributor to carbon emissions and resource consumption, must adopt sustainable practices, and we are proud to lead the way,” she said.

Throughout the development, sustainability remained a guiding principle. An impressive 97% of waste generated during demolition and construction was recycled or repurposed. The warehouse also achieved a 65% reduction in potable water usage for sanitary purposes in compliance with BREEAM standards, while energy-efficient technologies helped achieve over 35% savings in operational energy costs as per LEED benchmarks.

Additional features enhancing the facility’s sustainability profile include an energy-efficient building envelope, water-saving sanitary fixtures, a 50kWp photovoltaic system, and 20 dual charging stations for electric delivery vehicles.

City Point Targówek continues to grow, with Building C2 currently under construction, set to provide over 25,000 square meters of additional space, with units ranging between 1,600 and 4,300 square meters.

The logistics hub is part of a larger portfolio acquired through a joint venture between global private markets investment firm Partners Group and Peakside Capital Advisors. The venture, which includes other strategic locations such as City Point Okęcie and Logistics Point Raszyn, aims to expand its city logistics footprint through strategic acquisitions and redevelopment opportunities.

With its pioneering triple certification and commitment to sustainability, City Point Targówek is poised to become a model for future urban logistics developments across Europe.
