The international logistics provider DACHSER Czech Republic has signed a contract with the development company VGP for tailor-made construction in České Budějovice. New logistics and office space with a total area of ​​almost 7,000 sqm will be built in a newly emerging industrial park in the Světlík commercial zone on the outskirts of the city. Commissioning of the premises is scheduled for next spring.

The DACHSER branch in České Budějovice has been writing its history since 2006 and focuses on serving customers from southern Bohemia. The new building in VGP Park České Budějovice will include 2,000 sqm of transhipment and over 4,300 m2 of storage space with a capacity of approximately 7,000 pallet spaces. Part of the warehouse will be specially adapted for short-term storage of dangerous goods classified according to the ADR agreement. The building will have 14 loading ramps for various types of trucks, the administrative part of the building will then offer 650 m2 for modern offices. DACHSER also deals with the future use of alternative drives and also envisages the use of a charging station for electric vehicles, both freight and passenger.

"The new premises will allow us comfortable and high-quality handling of consignments as part of our collection service and faster check-in on ramps," says Ing. Jan Pihar, CEO of DACHSER Czech Republic and adds, “We are preparing modern office space for employees as well as pleasant daily rest rooms and facilities for warehouse operators. The advantage is then the location of the park, which meets our high demands both with regard to urban logistics and for our long-distance collection service lines."

VGP Park České Budějovice is established directly on the outskirts of the city in the Světlík commercial zone with excellent transport connections to the center and a direct access to the D3 motorway connecting Prague and Linz, Austria. After the completion of the approximately 37-hectare plot, an area with more than 126,000 sqm of leasable areas suitable for logistics or light production will be built. A total of seven buildings of a high standard with an emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability are planned, which target the green BREEAM certificate in the Very Good level.

"Thanks to its excellent accessibility to the city center and the proximity of the German and Austrian borders, the newly emerging VGP complex is ideal for building a logistics center. We are very pleased that we were able to agree with such a prestigious tenant as DACHSER that we will implement the new premises exactly to measure. At the same time, we are pleased that the correctness of our decision to build A-class industrial real estate in České Budějovice is confirmed, because before our entry into the site in this part of the Czech Republic practically did not exist, "comments David Plzák, VGP Country Manager for the Czech Republic.

The construction of the new building, where approximately 7,000 m2 will be built as a build-to-suit for lease to DACHSER Czech Republic, will start at the end of October. The building is expected to be completed in March 2022.
