MLP Group, a leading developer of warehouse and production space in Poland, has signed a lease with BOS Automotive Products Polska sp. z o.o. for 6,300 m2 of warehouse and production space at the MLP Tychy park. Under the agreement, 3,700 m2 is space for which the lease has been extended, and about 2,600 m2 is new space for expansion of BOS Automotive Products Polska’s business at the MLP Tychy site. The new area is being adapted for delivery at the beginning of 2011. The lease was signed for 5 years.
As of the end of 1H 2010, there were 10 tenants in place at the MLP Tychy facility, who have leased a total of 66,169 m2 of warehouse and production space. Ultimately MLP Group plans to build facilities at the park totalling about 96,000 m2.
The newly leased space at the MLP Tychy park, about 2,600 m2, is currently being adapted for production purposes in line with the requirements of BOS Automotive Products Polska. Given the specific nature of the tenant’s operations, the technical specifications of the electrical, HVAC and fire-fighting installations will be updated in the building to meet applicable norms for industrial use. The area will also be provided with additional natural and artificial light, increasing the illumination level in the building to 650 lux (the standard for production work is 400 lux). In connection with the increased demand for electricity, the existing transformer station will be expanded in order to meet the requirements of BOS Automotive Products Polska.
BOS Automotive Products Polska is the Polish subsidiary of BOS, an international firm with a tradition stretching back 100 years, which has factories in Western and Eastern Europe, North America and Asia. The firm produces and distributes automotive accessories.
