Prologis is launching the speculative development of a 37,000 m2 logistics facility next to the sea port in the western Swedish city of Gothenburg.
Construction of the facility at Gothenburg Logistics Park is scheduled to start on 18 April, with completion due in the first quarter of 2017.
The new facility, Prologis Park Gothenburg II, will be built on a 130,000 m2 area of land acquired by Prologis from the City of Gothenburg. Phase one of the project includes 37,000 m2 in two buildings, but there are plans to develop a number of logistics facilities totalling approximately 65,000 m2.
'Gothenburg is the Nordics鈥� logistics hub, and the need for modern logistics properties continues to increase,' said Allan Lav茅n, regional director of Prologis Nordic. 'Our existing logistics facility of 70,000 m2 in Gothenburg is fully leased and we are already in advanced discussions with tenants for the new facility.鈥�
The facility will offer logistics space starting at 5,000 m2. The larger of the two buildings, at 27,000 m2, can be subdivided into three parts to accommodate multiple tenants.
Prologis Park Gothenburg II is located 10 minutes from the city centre and the same distance from the Port of Gothenburg.
