ALDI signs 43,000 sqm lease with CTP for new distribution centre near Warsaw

ALDI has signed a lease agreement with CTP, Europe’s largest listed industrial and logistics property developer, for a 43,000 sqm distribution centre at CTPark Warsaw Emilianów. The facility, currently under construction, will serve as ALDI’s third distribution centre in Poland and is expected to open in the first quarter of 2026.

ALDI expanded rapidly in 2024, opening nearly 60 new stores and reaching over 360 locations nationwide. The new distribution centre will support the company’s growing operations, particularly in central and north-eastern Poland, and is intended to improve the efficiency of its logistics network. ALDI will be the first tenant at CTPark Warsaw Emilianów, occupying almost the entire first warehouse.

The warehouse is designed to enhance ALDI’s supply chain operations. It will feature a refrigeration zone allowing around 25% of deliveries to be temperature-controlled, supporting the freshness of products. The facility will have nearly 90 loading docks to facilitate logistics processes. By easing the load on ALDI’s existing centres in Bydgoszcz and Chorzów, the new centre is expected to shorten delivery times to stores in several regions, including Mazowieckie, Warmińsko-Mazurskie, Podlaskie, Łódzkie, and Lubelskie.

The warehouse will include enhanced fire safety systems and measures to improve energy efficiency, such as reusing waste heat from the cooling system for underfloor heating and hot water.

CTPark Warsaw Emilianów is located near the S8 expressway, approximately 23 km from Warsaw. Once fully developed, the park will consist of three buildings with a total leasable area of over 119,600 sqm.

Wojciech Łubieński, President of ALDI Poland, said the new centre is a strategic addition to the company’s logistics network, improving flexibility and responsiveness in key regions.

Piotr Flugel, Managing Director at CTP Poland, noted that the agreement with ALDI builds on CTP’s experience in working with major retail clients and aligns with its expansion plans in the Mazovia region, where the company is developing over 840,000 sqm of industrial and logistics space, targeting one million sqm by the end of 2026.
