DOUGLAS secures 46,200 sqm lease for distribution centre at CTPark Warsaw South

CTP has signed a 10-year lease agreement with DOUGLAS, the European leader in the omnichannel premium beauty segment, for 46,200 square meters of warehouse and office space at CTPark Warsaw South. The new facility will serve as DOUGLAS’ main distribution centre in Poland and the company’s third global logistics hub, supporting its omnichannel sales operations across Central Europe and the Baltic states.

DOUGLAS will fully occupy the WARS 01 building, which includes 1,317 square meters of office space and 44,940 square meters of warehouse area. This strategic location will enable the beauty retailer to store up to 8 million products at a time, capable of fully supplying 350 physical perfumeries. The facility will play a pivotal role in distributing products within Poland, as well as to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, while also catering to other European markets with private label products.

Having entered the Polish market more than 24 years ago, DOUGLAS continues to expand its presence by investing in both physical store expansions and digital growth. The company’s investment in modern logistics infrastructure reflects its commitment to meeting growing customer expectations through efficient and sustainable supply chain solutions.

The decision to establish a distribution hub at CTPark Warsaw South was influenced by the park’s outstanding ESG credentials and its ability to provide tailored warehousing solutions. The DOUGLAS building is one of only ten warehouse properties in Poland to achieve the BREEAM Outstanding certification, the highest rating in sustainability standards.

The facility has been customized to meet DOUGLAS’ operational needs, incorporating features such as enhanced natural light penetration, advanced DALI lighting systems with additional sensors, and state-of-the-art fire protection standards. The site will be further equipped with security and monitoring systems, robotic automation, and a Smart Metering System to optimize utility consumption. To support sustainability goals, the facility will rely on heat pump technology for heating and cooling, while a 0.5 MWp photovoltaic system will be installed on the roof to enhance energy efficiency.

Piotr Flugel, Managing Director for Poland at CTP, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating: “We are pleased to welcome DOUGLAS to CTPark Warsaw South. This facility offers a strategic location, modern infrastructure, and leading ESG standards, making it an optimal environment for their central distribution centre. With a 10-year lease in place, we are committed to supporting DOUGLAS in achieving their supply chain objectives.”

Michal Niechaj, Supply Chain Director Corporate Brands & CEE Region at DOUGLAS, highlighted the strategic importance of the new facility, saying: “This distribution centre represents a significant milestone in our supply chain strategy. It will not only support our omnichannel delivery model across Central and Eastern Europe but also serve the broader European market by distributing our exclusive brands. This reinforces our commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction.”
