Panattoni has started construction of an additional 102,000 sqm at its Wrocław Campus 2 logistics complex in Krzyżowice, near Wrocław. DSV – Global Transport and Logistics will lease 45,000 sqm in the new phase, with the remaining space developed speculatively.
Poland continues to attract logistics operators expanding their contract logistics operations. DSV’s decision to increase its presence in Krzyżowice reflects ongoing demand for distribution capacity and the steady performance of the Polish economy.
“High service quality and flexibility combined with competitive costs and an excellent geographical location are Poland’s key advantages. From Lower Silesia, we can deliver shipments to customers in Germany and other Western European markets within 24 hours,” says Piotr Wojtkowski, Sales and Marketing Director at DSV – Global Transport and Logistics. “At DSV, we respond to both current and future expectations of our clients and the market. The investment in new space in Krzyżowice is a perfect example of this approach. We continuously analyse opportunities for further warehouse investments – both through leasing and self-developed projects.”
Wrocław Campus 2 is the second stage of one of Panattoni’s larger developments in Lower Silesia, where the company has completed 2.36 million sqm of industrial space. The first phase of the project, totalling around 54,000 sqm, is fully leased. Construction of the final phase is now underway, with DSV expected to begin operations in 2026.
“Following its recent acquisition of Schenker, DSV has become the world’s largest logistics operator. In Poland, the company has long been one of the key players in the logistics services market and continues to strengthen its offer,” says Damian Kowalczyk, Regional Managing Director, Lower Silesia, Panattoni. “Over the past 20 years, we have provided DSV with more than 300,000 sqm of space. This latest collaboration in Wrocław once again confirms that we are a trusted partner for the world’s largest players.”
The property will be developed to BREEAM Excellent standards, with systems supporting insulation performance, heating and cooling management, and additional technical adaptations for DSV’s operations.
DSV was advised by JLL during site selection and lease negotiations. “When developing the concept for DSV’s new space, the main focus was on tailoring the facility to the pace of operations and the scale of handled shipments,” says Mateusz Iłowiecki, Senior Director at Industrial Agency, JLL. “Wrocław Campus 2 will deliver on these expectations, thanks to numerous solutions customised for the operator’s needs.”
According to JLL, Poland’s position as a warehousing and manufacturing hub continues to support demand for logistics facilities, driven by supply-chain diversification and foreign investment.
Wrocław Campus 2 is located in an established industrial zone 20 km from central Wrocław, with access to the A4 and A8 motorways. When completed, the complex will total around 160,000 sqm. The previously developed Wrocław Campus 1, comprising 185,000 sqm, was sold in 2023.
