Panattoni Hungary has managed to sign two contracts to build 30,000 sqm of industrial space for a leading German automotive supplier. The new facilities will be opened in Kecskemét and Debrecen where Daimler and BMW already operate. The name of the supplier was not announced.


Panattoni Hungary has successfully secured a dual built-to-suit contract for 30,000 sqm from a top-tier German automotive supplier, to develop two manufacturing facilities in Debrecen and Kecskemét, respectively. Paanattoni entered the Hungarian market two years ago.

The Debrecen project involves a state-of-the-art 13,700 sqm factory, with construction commencing in September 2023 and an anticipated handover by October 2024. The tenant is scheduled for early access in Q2 2024. The Kecskemét facility, spanning 16,600 sqm, will see its ground-breaking in October 2023, adhering to a similar completion and early access timeline. 

The strategic proximity to major automotive manufacturers was a key consideration for the supplier, emphasizing the location’s role in the supply chain. Both sites are on track to BREEAM Excellent certification.
