WARSAW (19 May 2016) – Prologis, Inc., the global leader in logistics real estate, today announced that it has signed four lease agreements totalling more than 32,700 square metres at Prologis Park Chorzów.

The transactions include:

  • a 16,770 square metre renewal with ArchiDoc, a leader in document management and back-office business services, in Building 4. Colliers International acted as the broker.
  • a 11,574 square metre renewal with Latex Opony SA, a leader in the tyre sector, in Building 4.
  • a 3,030 square metre new lease agreement with Ideus, a lighting company and sole distributor of Strühm and Horoz products, in Building 4. JLL facilitated the transaction.
  • a 1,397 square metre new lease agreement with Euro-Net, owner of nationwide electronics retail network RTV EURO AGD, at the Small Business Unit (SBU) facility, which is currently under construction. Cushman & Wakefield acted as the broker in this transaction.


“New lease agreements and renewals at Prologis Park Chorzów demonstrate that Chorzów is an important spot on Poland’s industrial real estate map,” said Piotr Brycki, leasing manager, Prologis Poland. “Customers are looking for high-quality distribution facilities within the city limits and close to major transport routes. Prologis Park Chorzów, totalling 235,000 square metres, is the largest of its kind in the Upper Silesia Region.”

“Prologis’ SBU building meets the needs of RTV EURO AGD primarily due to its optimal location that allows the company to serve the Silesian market. The technical specifications of the building, which exceeded the standard of Class-A industrial facilities, also had a great impact on the customer’s decision,” said Joanna Sinkiewicz, Associate, Head of Key Clients & Tenant Representation, Cushman & Wakefield.

Prologis Park Chorzów is a state-of-the-art distribution park on the western outskirts of Katowice, in the immediate vicinity of the A4 Motorway connecting Ukraine and Germany and 15 kilometres away from the Gliwice-Sośnica interchange, a junction of two of the largest international transport corridors in Poland.

With its active engagement in four CEE countries and a portfolio totalling 4.3 million square metres, Prologis is the leading provider of distribution facilities in Central and Eastern Europe (as of 31 March 2016).
