Panattoni will break ground in December on Panattoni Park Sosnowiec V, a new industrial park in Poland’s Silesian Voivodeship. The project will feature two modern buildings with a total area exceeding 52,000 square meters, reinforcing the region’s growing reputation as a hub for industrial activity.
The first phase of construction will deliver a hall covering more than 33,000 square meters, set for completion in the fourth quarter of 2025. A second building, planned for a later phase, will add nearly 19,000 square meters to the development. Hebe, the health and beauty retailer and a subsidiary of the Jeronimo Martins Group, will serve as the park’s first tenant, leasing 22,000 square meters for a decade. The facility will serve as a build-to-suit distribution center tailored to Hebe’s logistical requirements.
According to Marek Dobrzycki, Partner at Panattoni, the project underscores the company’s commitment to Silesia, a region attracting substantial interest from key market players. “We are extremely pleased that Hebe has chosen our location for its distribution center, a choice that will drive the brand’s continued expansion in Poland. The facility will include special features to optimize logistics processes and enhance operational efficiency,” Dobrzycki said.
Hebe’s bespoke distribution center will incorporate advanced technological features, including a pick-tower mezzanine for streamlined operations, internal transport systems to boost productivity, and ergonomic work environments. Employee comfort has also been prioritized, with thoughtfully designed social facilities.
Sustainability plays a central role in the park’s design, which aims for a BREEAM certification at the Excellent level. These sustainability features include energy-efficient lighting, water conservation measures, a leak detection system, and electric vehicle charging stations. The facility’s roof will be reinforced to support future solar panel installations, reducing both operational costs and carbon footprint.
The park is strategically located just 2.2 kilometers from the S1 expressway and 12 kilometers from the A4 motorway, providing seamless access to Poland’s major transportation networks. Situated only 16 kilometers from Katowice city center and 19 kilometers from Katowice Airport, the park is also well-positioned for international logistics, with the Czech border just 84 kilometers away.
Panattoni Park Sosnowiec V is poised to become a cornerstone of industrial development in the Silesian Voivodeship, offering tenants like Hebe cutting-edge facilities and an unmatched location to support their growth.
