WDP has announced the development of a new 32,000 m² distribution centre in WDP Park Bucharest – Ștefănești for FAN Courier Group, one of Romania’s leading courier and logistics operators. The two companies already collaborate on a facility in Timișoara, and this new investment further strengthens their partnership. The project, valued at around €22 million, will be built on WDP-owned land in northern Bucharest. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2026, with completion expected later that year. FAN Courier will occupy the property under a 10-year triple-net lease. The facility is designed to support the company’s expanding delivery operations and will reinforce Ștefănești’s role as a key logistics hub serving the capital and surrounding regions. According to Jeroen Biermans, Country Manager of WDP Romania, this new project deepens the company’s relationship with FAN Courier and expands WDP’s footprint in northern Bucharest. He added that the development aligns with WDP’s cluster strategy and marks the completion of the park’s first phase, which highlights sustained demand for modern logistics space in the area. WDP Park Bucharest – Ștefănești has become the company’s largest logistics cluster, with more than 400,000 m² of leasable space. It accommodates both small units and large distribution centres and hosts tenants such as Decathlon, Auchan, LPP, and several industrial suppliers. The FAN Courier facility finalises the park’s first development phase and positions Ștefănești among WDP’s largest sites, alongside WDP Park Bollène in France. WDP is now working to expand its Bucharest cluster through additional land acquisitions. Within the current park, another 30,000 m² of space is planned for existing clients, while a new site north of Ștefănești is under development, beginning with a 54,000 m² project for the retailer Action. Beyond its logistics function, the park has become a model for sustainability and biodiversity in industrial real estate. It features over 12 MWp of solar panels, 10,000 trees, and 5,000 shrubs across 150,000 m², forming Romania’s largest biodiversity project of its kind. These initiatives reflect WDP’s long-term approach to integrating environmental goals into its logistics infrastructure.
