Prologis Fills Speculative Facility in Janki
- The first speculative facility built since 2009 fully let to Rohlig Suus Logistics - The only cross-dock located close to Warsaw
real estate, announced today that it has leased 25,500 square metres at Prologis Park Janki with Rohlig Suus
Logistics - one of the three largest logistics operators providing comprehensive services in Poland.
Rohlig Suus Logistics leased the full 18,500 square metres available in Building 3, as well as an additional
7,000 square metre extension of this facility. The additional area will be adapted to meet the customer’s
particular needs, become the market’s first cross-dock facility to support groupage handling in the process.
The entire area totalling 25,500 square metres will be the largest facility of its kind near Warsaw to be
occupied by a logistics operator providing comprehensive services.
The location is particularly favourable in the context of the company’s own groupage distribution system
which allows it to deliver goods across the entire country within 24 hours. As requested by the client,
environmentally responsible solutions have been incorporated into the design, which, for example,
significantly reduce the consumption of electricity.
“We decided to complete the third Janki facility due to the decreasing availability of industrial real estate in
southern Warsaw”, stated Kamila Pruk, Prologis leasing manager for Poland. “The park’s excellent
location close to major national and international transport routes, combined with Prologis’ expertise and
flexibility, created a compelling proposition for our new customer. We wish Rohlig Suus Logistics much
success in their new distribution centre and look forward to continuing our fruitful collaboration.”
“The scale and rate of development, as well as the quality of ROHLIG SUUS Logistics’ investment are
unprecedented in the industry. The agreement with Prologis is the fourth important change in the field of
real estate for us this year — we have already opened two build-to-suit logistic complexes in Czeladź and
Poznań, and we have moved the branch in Łódź to a larger, modern A+ class facility. This will significantly
increase our operating capabilities and will impact further development of our services” — said Daniel
Franke, board member responsible for contract logistics, domestic distribution and IT solutions at
ROHLIG SUUS Logistics.
“The decision to progress with our first speculative build in Poland since 2009 was guided by our deep
understanding of the market, and made possible by our considerable financial strength,” added Bartosz
Mierzwiak, vice president & market officer for Prologis in Poland. “By demonstrating genuine
industry leadership, we were able to anticipate our customer’s needs and lease this modern facility.”
