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.

Panattoni has laid the cornerstone for the construction of a domestic appliance component factory in Łódź. The cornerstone-laying ceremony marks the launch of an investment valued at over PLN 100 million.

The 15,000-square-meter facility, located just 8 kilometers from downtown Łódź and 4 kilometers from the A1 motorway, is designed as a build-to-own project tailored to E.G.O.’s technological and operational needs. Construction began in July and is set to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2025.

The ceremony was attended by senior representatives from E.G.O., Panattoni, and local authorities. Dr. Karlheinz Hörsting, CEO of the E.G.O. Group, emphasized the significance of the new facility. “Today’s groundbreaking marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the E.G.O. Group here in Łódź. This building is a testament to our commitment to this location and our drive to innovate.”

Panattoni’s leadership echoed this sentiment, highlighting the partnership’s impact on the region’s growth. “A build-to-own facility is always a tremendous vote of confidence in the developer. We are proud that E.G.O. has entrusted us with such an important project. By delivering ambitious developments for market leaders, we contribute to the economic development of the entire region,” said Marek Dobrzycki, Partner at Panattoni.

Katarzyna Kujawiak, Development Director at Panattoni, added, “The location near the city center provides excellent accessibility for employees and space for future expansion. The facility has been meticulously designed in collaboration with E.G.O.’s team to meet their technological requirements and support their continued growth.”

Panattoni has been instrumental in transforming the Łódź region into a hub for industrial and logistics development, with over 2.3 million square meters of warehouse and production space completed. This includes the Central European Logistics Hub, one of the largest industrial complexes in Europe.

The new facility in Łódź reinforces Panattoni’s leadership in industrial real estate and underscores the strategic importance of the region for global manufacturers like E.G.O. The project is expected to further strengthen Łódź’s position as a center for innovation and economic growth.
