Asian manufacturer of automotive parts to lease 23,000 sqm at MLP Poznań West
Asian manufacturers are increasingly establishing operations in Europe, and the newly signed agreement is an excellent example of this global nearshoring trend. The new partner has contracted 23,000 sqm of modern space at the MLP Poznań West logistics park, with approximately 1,000 sqm allocated for office and staff amenity areas. The agreement aligns with the strategic goals of MLP Group, which consistently support companies in relocating production closer to their target markets by offering them technologically sophisticated and environmentally friendly solutions.
The project to construct this advanced facility is already being developed, with a strong focus on applying state-of-the-art technological and environmental solutions. The building will be heated using heat pump systems, and a significant portion of its electricity demand will be covered by photovoltaic panels. The facility will undergo BREEAM certification of ‘Excellent’. Its handover is planned for the second quarter of 2025. Ultimately, it will comprise over 30,000 sqm, which means that the remaining 8,000 sqm will be developed on a speculative basis and will be available to other tenants.
“The increasing demand from Asian companies provides us with a solid foundation for further rapid growth. Establishing a partnership with a Chinese manufacturer of automotive parts is a strategic step towards implementing our vision of supporting the global nearshoring trend. Our new partner’s choice of MLP Poznań West confirms the excellent location of the centre and the highest quality of space that it offers, including in terms of meeting stringent sustainability standards. Achieving the BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification is the best proof of this,” says Agnieszka Góźdź, Member of the Management Board and Chief Development Officer of MLP Group S.A.
The logistics centre is being developed in line with the principles of sustainable construction, with the buildings featuring rooftop PV systems. In addition, infrastructure for cyclists, EV charging points and insect hotels have been built on the park’s premises. Extensive glazing has been incorporated in the office area, enhancing access to daylight and creating better working conditions for employees.
MLP Poznań West is a state-of-the-art distribution centre conveniently located on the western side of Poznań, at the S11 expressway and only 7 km from the A2 motorway and S11 junction. The target tenant group includes primarily e-commerce, logistics, distribution and light industrial manufacturing companies. MLP Poznań West, with a planned total area of over 170,000 sqm, is a key element of the Group’s expansion strategy in the European logistics property market as well as supporting global efforts to optimise supply chains through nearshoring.
In keeping with its build & hold strategy, MLP Group retains completed logistics parks in its portfolio and manages them. All projects undertaken by MLP Group are distinguished by very attractive locations of the logistics parks, application of built-to-suit solutions, and support given to tenants during the lease term.
