Panattoni to build City Logistics Katowice

Panattoni is set to break ground on City Logistics Katowice. The investment will include four buildings on 14.4 ha totaling 70,000 sqm, of which 5,000 sqm will be dedicated to office space. The first phase will feature two halls, totaling 6,785 sqm and 21,359 sqm respectively. “City parks are principally intended to address the needs of customers keen to fulfill online orders within short timeframes due to the development of e-commerce,” said Marek Dobrzycki, managing director at Panattoni, “There are fewer and fewer available sites for warehouse development within city limits, hence the growing interest in land for reclamation and brownfield projects. In such projects, degraded post-industrial areas can be restored to a condition rendering them useful to new users, like in the case of the City Logistics Katowice site.”
