Warehouse Poznan to lease 7 000 sq m

Poznań belongs to the so-called the big five largest warehouse markets in Poland. It is one of the oldest logistic regions, which was formed along the 92 national road, and currently the A2 Highway. This route enables the distribution of goods from East to West Europe towards Berlin.

The total resources of the Poznań warehouse market at the end of the 3rd quarter of 2023 amount to over 3.32 million sq m. In the Greater Poland Voivodeship, the offer of warehouse space for rent was prepared by all key developers, i.e. Panattoni, 7R, GLP, WhiteStar, Logicor, Hillwood, CTP, MLP, Segro, Hines, Prologis, P3, CTP and many local smaller investors. In the period from January to September 2023, new supply in the region increased the available volume of space for rent by over 286,000 sq m and stabilized the vacancy rate at 7%. According to developers' announcements, we can expect another 254,000 sq m in the coming months, which will certainly find their tenants quickly. Apart from Poznań, the main industrial and logistics centers in the Greater Poland Voivodeship are the areas located along the S5 and S11 express routes, as well as within the airport. Therefore, a large offer of space for rent is located south of the capital of the region in such locations as Gądki, Żerniki, Jaryszki, Robakowo, Plewiska, Komorniki and Plewiska. Many companies are also considering development in Sady, Gołuski, Tarnowo Podgórskie or more historically known locations such as Swarzędz, Konin, Kalisz or Niepruszewo.

Poznań and the entire Greater Poland Voivodeship are characterized by high tenant activity. Gross demand in the first 3 quarters of 2023 amounted to over 330,000 sq m. The region offers all types of halls for rent, the so-called large-format warehouse buildings such as big-box or multitenant, exclusive investments such as BTO (built-to-own) and BTS (built-to-suit), and smaller urban warehouses such as SBU (Small Business Unit) to handle the so-called last mile logistics. An extensive offer of warehouse space for rent is chosen by both large international companies and local domestic suppliers. The most active tenants remain those representing logistics, distribution, e-commerce, the automotive industry, light manufacturing, manufacturing, retail chains, grocery chains, the furniture/DIY industry, and courier companies.
