7R Begins Construction of Large-Scale Logistics and Technology Hub in Kraków

7R has started development of the 7R Hub Nowa Huta logistics and technology complex in Kraków, a project that will provide approximately 230,000 sqm of logistics, production and technology space upon completion.

The development is being delivered within the Ruszcza Logistics and Industrial Centre as part of the broader “Kraków – Nowa Huta Przyszłości” regeneration programme focused on transforming post-industrial areas in the eastern part of the city.

A cornerstone-laying ceremony for the project was attended by Aleksander Miszalski, Mayor of Kraków, Wojciech Warian, CEO of Kraków Nowa Huta Przyszłości, and representatives of 7R including CEO Andrzej Wroński and founder Tomasz Lubowiecki.

According to 7R, lease agreements for tens of thousands of square metres had already been signed before construction began.

The site is located near national road 79 and the planned S7 expressway junction, providing access to Kraków city centre and regional transport infrastructure.

“7R Hub Nowa Huta is a project that significantly strengthens the economic potential of Kraków’s eastern districts,” said Mayor Aleksander Miszalski.

“It demonstrates that urban growth can effectively combine the attraction of modern investments with the revitalisation and reuse of post-industrial land,” he added.

The project is intended to support logistics, manufacturing and technology occupiers. According to 7R, the development will include infrastructure prepared for automation systems alongside energy-efficiency and sustainability measures.

“7R Hub Nowa Huta is the largest project in our portfolio and a perfect reflection of 7R’s approach to delivering modern commercial assets,” said Andrzej Wroński, CEO of 7R.

“Today, a warehouse is far more than just space – it is a place where business grows, an entire ecosystem,” he added.

The complex will incorporate photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, ventilation units with heat recovery and intelligent building management technologies. 7R also plans to integrate energy storage and on-site renewable energy generation systems.

Environmental measures planned for the site include land revitalisation, planting of more than 2,200 plants supporting biodiversity, approximately 10 hectares of afforestation, rain gardens, wildflower meadows and cycling infrastructure.

The developer said the project is targeting BREEAM Excellent environmental certification.
