Panattoni has started construction of City Logistics Łódź V, a new urban logistics development in the eastern part of Łódź that will provide approximately 42,000 sqm of space.
The project is being developed on a brownfield site previously occupied by an ABB factory. PGC Polska Grupa Ceramiczna has signed as the first tenant, leasing nearly 15,000 sqm within the scheme.
The company will use the facility as its central warehouse for the Polish market and as its new headquarters. Around 70 employees are expected to work at the site.
Marek Dobrzycki, Partner at Panattoni, said the project represents another stage in the expansion of urban logistics infrastructure in Łódź and highlighted the regeneration of the former industrial site. He added that the agreement with PGC Polska Grupa Ceramiczna continues the long-term cooperation between the two companies.
PGC Polska Grupa Ceramiczna is a purchasing group operating in the bathroom fittings sector, bringing together 16 companies involved in ceramic tiles, sanitaryware and fittings distribution. The company works with more than 40 international suppliers and operates across wholesale, export and DIY markets.
According to Seweryn Kartkowski, CEO of PGC Polska Grupa Ceramiczna, the location in Łódź’s Widzew district was selected due to its transport accessibility for both employees and logistics operations. He added that the project will include customised solutions adapted to the company’s operational requirements, including a dedicated storage yard.
The facility will incorporate specialised racking systems for large-format products, a showroom for business clients, approximately 900 sqm of office space and a 2,000 sqm storage yard. The tenant is expected to begin operations at the site in the first quarter of 2027, with full operational capacity planned for the second quarter.
The transaction was advised by AXI IMMO. Hubert Wojtera, Director of Industrial and Logistics Space at AXI IMMO, said the project was designed to consolidate the tenant’s existing operations while maintaining a location within Łódź’s city boundaries to support workforce accessibility.
City Logistics Łódź V is located on Lodowa Street, around 10 km from Łódź city centre, with access to the A1 and A2 motorways and the S14 route. The development will target BREEAM Excellent certification and include energy and water efficiency solutions.
