HAVI to become first tenant in new industrial park on former Poldi Kladno Site

HAVI Logistics s.r.o. will be the first confirmed tenant in the newly developing Panattoni Business Park Kladno, located on the site of the former Poldi Kladno steelworks. The company will lease nearly 10,000 square metres in a new logistics hall with a total area of 55,500 square metres. The facility will be used for the storage and distribution of frozen and chilled goods. Construction began on 7 March 2025, with completion planned for 1 April 2026.

The industrial park is being developed by Panattoni, with investment provided by RSJ Group. The project aims to redevelop the former brownfield into a functional industrial zone that supports local employment and introduces modern infrastructure.

HAVI, which specialises in supply chain management and logistics services, plans to use the facility to expand its warehousing capacity and streamline distribution processes. The company also plans to incorporate sustainability measures into its operations at the site.

Panattoni Business Park Kladno is being developed as a facility that meets high environmental and technological standards. It is designed with adequate utility capacity to support production and logistics operations. The first building in the park is expected to achieve a BREEAM New Construction rating of “Excellent” and will feature elements such as photovoltaic systems, heat recovery, smart energy management, and rainwater collection.

Panattoni’s focus on transforming disused industrial areas continues with the Kladno site, which follows previous efforts to redevelop similar locations into functional, modern logistics and production centres. The location benefits from strong transport connections, including access to the D5, D6, and D7 motorways, and proximity to the Kladno-Švermov railway station. The planned high-speed railway linking Václav Havel Airport and Kladno is expected to further improve regional accessibility.

RSJ Group, the project’s investor, anticipates that the redevelopment of the former steelworks site will support broader economic activity in the area. The cooperation with HAVI is seen as a positive step towards the site’s revitalisation and its potential to attract other tenants seeking modern, strategically located industrial space near Prague.
