In the first half of the year, Poland ranked second in Europe for net leased warehouse space. Demand for warehouses is steady and further investments continue to be made on our market. A new 7R City Flex Last Mile Logistics project will be built at Graniczna Street in Wrocław. PIKA, a company which specializes in the outsourcing of document management, processing and distribution, has chosen 7R which will prepare a high-bay warehouse space adapted to the strict standards of document storage. The general contractor of the 7R City Flex Wrocław Airport facility is Atlas Ward Polska.
PIKA chooses 7R City Flex
For several years, our company has been operating in 7R’s logistics park in Kowale near Gdańsk. We decided to rent new warehouse space from 7R due to the development of our business in Poland. Our company offer includes a wide range of services related to modern outsourcing connected with document management for our clients. Consequently, we select locations which are prepared for the comprehensive and professional organization of these processes. We decided to choose 7R’s urban warehouse because of its attractive location in Wrocław and the customized space that the developer can provide us with,
says Karolina Kalkowska, Quality Management Director at PIKA Sp. z o.o.
Literally a high technical standard
We had no hesitation in undertaking the preparation of space for the company, even though it requires storage conditions that are above the norm. The facility, at almost 18 m in height will be almost twice as tall as the average warehouse. Additionally, we will make shelf racks, which will accommodate almost 400,000 cartons of 30x40 cm. We will also prepare a mezzanine with access provided via staircases and a freight elevator. The whole project will comply with fire prevention regulations that are applied to the storage of archives. PIKA is a client who bases its business on the security of information and document warehousing, as well as the use of modern storage standards, all of which are of crucial importance in this industry. I am glad that the company has, for the second time, put their trust in us,
Maciej Krawiecki, Head of Leasing, 7R.
Strong partnerships
7R City Flex Wroclaw Airport will be executed in the "Design and Build" model. It is a great responsibility, but also illustrates the investor’s trust in Atlas Ward Polska. We have been working on this 7R investment from the very beginning, through multi-disciplinary design and construction works, to the start of operation of the facility. The warehouse will be BREEAM certified at the Very Good level. The "Design and Build" formula eliminates inaccuracies that often appear when architectural and executive projects overlap. This type of cooperation is an ideal solution for investors who care about fast realization - 7R City Flex Wrocław Airport will be built in five months,
adds Mariusz Wandzel, Director of Contracts and Production at Atlas Ward Polska.
Last mile near the city center
The project in Wroclaw has great potential, because the capital of Lower Silesia is still developing and can attract major investors. Plots of land which are located less than 30 minutes away from the city center are smaller, less accessible, and thus more expensive. That’s why it is worth building upwards to gain additional storage space. Thanks to high-bay warehouses, each square meter of the ground is used more effectively, and meterage costs do not increase, which is of course a benefit for our tenants,
explains Bartłomiej Krawiecki, member of the board, Head of Development in 7R.
