Panattoni Europe selected by Zelmer

Panattoni Europe, the leader in the industrial property market in Poland, has kicked off the construction of 32,500 m2 of modern industrial space for its new client, Zelmer SA. The build-to-suit (BTS) facility covers 28,500 m2 of production and warehouse space, while 4,000 m2 will consist of social and office space. The investment is being constructed in a Special Economic Zone in Euro-Park Mielec.

BTS for the biggest player

The ordering party is Zelmer Capital Group, the largest Polish small home appliance producer. The new investment will consist of three areas: production (ca 17,500m2), warehouse (11,000m2) and office space (4,000m2). The total space of the facility covers ca 32,500m2, in effect 5.7 ha of a land plot on the area of the Mielec-based Special Economic Zone, in the Glogów Malopolski municipality. This is the developer’s first investment both in the region as well as in a special economic zone. „The Rzeszów-based BTS for the Zelmer Group is the largest project of Panattoni Europe in the Podkarpackie region, as well as within a Special Economic Zone. Its erection best evidences the growing interest in constructing industrial facilities within the SEZ, which directly results from amended legislation, thanks to which e.g. Zelmer will benefit from expanding qualified costs, and will be entitled to 50% tax allowance”, said Marek Forynski, BTS Group Director, Panattoni Europe, adding: „this is probably the direction in which the industrial real estate market could develop.”

Key focus: optimization

The focal point of planning process of the BTS investment in Rzeszów was optimization – the existing production units will be replaced by one multi-functional industrial facility. This is why the new facility not only boasts good space management, whose differential exceeds 50% (standard 42-46%), but also eco optimization. The facility will have new technological installations, which will be responsible for power management. Thanks to them it will be possible to carry out a recuperation process, i.e. retrieve thermal energy, used for heating the facility.

Panattoni Europe’s BTS in Rzeszów is a modern industrial park located in Rogoznica and Wola Cicha, in the Glogów Malopolski municipality - 8 km north of the center of Rzeszów, 200m from the railway station, in close vicinity to Road no. 9 Radom-Rzeszów, 600m from the A4 „Rzeszów Centralny” node and 4km from the Rzeszów Jasionka airport.
