“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.
