Hillwood Polska and LCube have signed an agreement to develop a logistics facility on the eastern outskirts of Wroclaw. Spanning over 60,000 sqm, the Hillwood & LCube Wroclaw East industrial and warehouse complex will offer Class A warehouse space and meet 'Excellent' BREEAM certification standards. LCube will serve as the Development Manager, working closely with Hillwood through the construction and commercial phases.
In recent days, the inaugural lease agreement for the Hillwood & LCube Wroclaw East complex has been finalized with an international logistics firm. The tenant will occupy 22,869 sqm of warehouse space along with 285 sqm of office and staff facilities, accounting for some 40% of the facility's overall capacity. The remaining space will be developed on a speculative basis.
“Lower Silesia stands as a key player in Poland's warehousing landscape. The region is especially advantageous for the growth of e-commerce, logistics, and light manufacturing companies serving both domestic and Western markets. Hillwood is steadily expanding its investments in this location, and the planned warehouse park in cooperation with LCube aligns seamlessly with our broader development strategy.” - says Damian Słaby, member of Hillwood Polska Management Board.
The new Hillwood & LCube Wroclaw East industrial and warehouse park will be well connected to the local and national road network. A key asset of the investment is its proximity to a section of Wroclaw's Eastern Bypass, completed last December, providing direct access to the S8 expressway to Warsaw, and the A8, Wroclaw’s Motorway Bypass. Additionally, the project's location in Dobrzykowice provides convenient rail connections to Wroclaw, a further advantage for tenants in employee recruitment.
“For LCube, this 60,000-square-meter facility represents our largest investment in Poland so far. The chance to collaborate with a demanding investor like Hillwood Polska and attracting a powerful partner offers a strong foundation for future well-designed projects. We're gearing up to commence construction works having signed a contract with general contractor Rex-Bud, and we aim for Hillwood & LCube Wroclaw East to be tenant-ready by next July," - states Michał Stachura, a management board member of LCube.
