Panattoni has already delivered almost 750,000 sqm in the Lubuski region with more than 165,000 sqm still under construction. The developer is responsible for almost half of the total volume of industrial space in the area. “After the first half of the current year, the Lubuski region found itself just behind the so-called big five. This just demonstrates the huge progress the region has made in recent years. The combination of being close to Poland’s western border with a growing stock of extremely high-standard industrial buildings is attracting modern businesses that can gain a base for international operations. It is exactly such locations as Zielona Góra that have the potential to become a hub for companies expanding into new markets”, states Dorota Jagodzińska-Sasson, the Managing Director at Panattoni.

So far, two parks with a combined area of 137,000 sqm have been completed and fully commercialised. The construction work on Panattoni Park Zielona Góra III has also been completed and the 30,000 sqm space is almost fully leased. The centre is used by a global manufacturer and distributor of distilled spirits as well as by logistics operator ECE Logistics, which from November this year has been operating from 11,500 sqm of fully leased space. This is the largest area leased by the company in a single location. 

Panattoni’s centre is undergoing BREEAM certification for a rating of Excellent and the construction of Panattoni Park Zielona Góra III was preceded by a comprehensive report drawn up by a qualified ecologist who identified the challenges to biodiversity and for improving the ecology of the grounds. Panattoni is planning not only to fulfil the ecologist’s guidelines but also to go beyond them by for example creating around 1,000 sqm of green space, twice as much as the recommendation.  As part of the project, the developer is also to provide shelters for invertebrates, insects and birds as well as to reduce CO2 emissions by improving the insulation of the walls and the roof. Furthermore, workers will be able to make use of facilities for cyclists as well as charging stations for electric vehicles.

The last 5,000 sqm section of Panattoni Park Zielona Góra III remains to be leased. The space is suitable for logistics, e-commerce and manufacturing operations. The future tenant will benefit from the park’s good location, which is close to the A2 motorway providing a fast connection to the most important cities in this part of Europe including Warsaw, Poznań, Łódź and Berlin. The S3 road also runs nearby, connecting Western Pomerania with Poland’s southern border.
