Panattoni has started the development of a new logistics centre in Warsaw for Toyota Logistics Services Poland. The project, which will be delivered in a build-to-suit (BTS) format within the City Logistics Warsaw Airport IV complex, will provide nearly 20,000 sqm of warehouse, logistics, office and social space.
Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2026, while operations at the new facility are expected to commence in June 2027.
Toyota Logistics Services Poland will relocate from its current premises to the new site while maintaining operational continuity and retaining its existing workforce. The facility will mainly support the Polish market and is intended to strengthen the company’s logistics capabilities and supply chain operations.
“Delivering a logistics centre for Toyota Logistics Services Poland is another example of the growing importance of BTS projects in a mature industrial real estate market. Well-established companies are increasingly opting for tailor-made solutions that allow facilities to be precisely aligned with operational processes, secure long-term business needs and improve the efficiency of the entire supply chain. Our cooperation with Toyota, a global automotive leader and one of the world’s most recognisable brands, is a strong sign of trust. We are pleased to support our partner in the further development of its operations in Poland,” said Michał Samborski.
The facility has been designed to meet the tenant’s operational requirements, including a warehouse layout that will allow for the construction of a mezzanine of around 4,000 sqm. The project will also include dedicated storage space for products requiring special handling, such as oils and airbags.
In addition, the building will incorporate energy-efficiency measures including air-to-air heat pumps and a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery.
According to Panattoni, the Warsaw warehouse market remained the largest in Poland in 2025, recording more than 1.4 million sqm of gross take-up, representing around 21 percent of total national demand. The developer noted that build-to-suit developments and pre-let agreements are becoming increasingly important as companies seek facilities tailored to specific operational and technical needs.
The City Logistics Warsaw Airport IV location was selected due to its proximity to Toyota Logistics Services Poland’s current headquarters and access to transport infrastructure, including major road connections and the airport.
JLL advised Toyota Logistics Services Poland during the site selection and lease negotiations process.
“The key to this project’s success was understanding that Toyota needed more than just additional space – it required the right location and a facility precisely tailored to the specifics of automotive operations. To achieve this, the advisory process involved a detailed analysis of the Warsaw market in terms of availability and location parameters. Building on these findings, the team then conducted in-depth work on the technical requirements. Ultimately, the build-to-suit formula made it possible to combine a strategic location with infrastructure designed exactly around the client’s operational processes,” said Karol Gajewski.
The Warsaw project follows Panattoni’s previous BTS developments for Toyota-branded operations in the CEE region, including a nearly 14,000 sqm facility for Toyota Material Handling at Panattoni Business Park Zdice in the Czech Republic.
