Panattoni has started construction of Panattoni Park Katowice Airport in Silesia, with logistics operator FIEGE signed as the first tenant. The company will occupy more than 42,000 sqm of space in the new development.
The project is planned to deliver approximately 240,000 sqm of industrial space at full build-out, making it one of the larger logistics schemes in the region. According to Marek Dobrzycki, Partner at Panattoni, the development forms part of the company’s ongoing expansion in Silesia, where it has already delivered close to 3 million sqm of space.
FIEGE operates in 15 countries with more than 130 locations and provides logistics services to sectors including FMCG, fashion, industrial, retail, healthcare and e-commerce. The new facility in Katowice will support logistics and warehousing operations for one of the company’s clients.
Piotr Kohmann, CEO of FIEGE Poland, said the location near Katowice Airport was a key factor in the decision, alongside the flexibility of the planned space and the inclusion of energy-efficiency measures such as photovoltaic panels and an energy storage system.
The leased space will be fitted with automated logistics technologies including AutoStore systems, very narrow aisle (VNA) storage and vertical lift modules (VLM). The building will have a clear height of 13.8 metres and will be designed to meet FM Global fire safety standards. FIEGE will also occupy 646 sqm of associated office and social space.
The tenant is expected to receive early access to the facility in mid-2027, with full operations scheduled to begin in January 2028. The site is expected to employ around 120 people.
Panattoni Park Katowice Airport is located approximately 3 km from Katowice International Airport in Pyrzowice, at the intersection of the A1 motorway and the S1 expressway. The park is intended to accommodate a range of logistics, e-commerce and light manufacturing operations.
The development is planned to pursue BREEAM Excellent certification and will incorporate measures aimed at improving energy efficiency, reducing water consumption and lowering CO₂ emissions.
