Port of Gothenburg Logistics Park recieves two new tenants
Storage and distribution properties are being completed in rapid succession at the Port of Gothenburg Logistics Park. Bagaren och Kocken and Storex are two further tenants that will in the near future transfer their warehousing operations to the new logistics park directly beside the Port of Gothenburg. The park offers one million square metres of land that will be developed to meet the logistics needs of the future, Port of Gothenburg said in its press release.
Within a 500 kilometer radius, the Port of Gothenburg Logistics Park reaches three capitals and 70 per cent of the Scandinavian population and industry.
The kitchen utensils, kitchen machinery and design products retailer Bagaren och Kocken will be the first tenant to move into the Castellum building, which is due to be opened in April this year. The building will have total floor space of 30,000 square metres, 10,000 of which will be occupied by Bagaren och Kocken. The move will take place as soon as the building is completed. Bagaren och Kocken has expanded significantly in recent years, largely due to the increase in e-trade. In 2017, the company’s net store was named as one of the best e-trade outlets in Sweden.
Bagaren och Kocken also intend to open an on-site shop. This will give customers access to the whole of the net store range, and they can collect their goods within 30 minutes of placing an order.
In the middle of March, Prologis will commence construction of its new storage and distribution facility in the park, and the first tenant has already signed a lease. Storex AB is expected to move in at the beginning of 2019, which is when the building is due to be completed. They will occupy almost 11,000 square metres of the 25,000-square-metre building. The facility will be used primarily to house Storex products, ranging from clothes and shoes to awnings and replacement parts.
Castellum and Prologis are two of four companies that are working in parallel to develop the Port of Gothenburg Logistics Park, an entirely new logistics zone directly adjacent to the Port of Gothenburg. With its unique location along the Hisingsleden link road, just 10 minutes from the Port of Gothenburg and 15 minutes from the city centre, the enormous interest that has been shown comes as no surprise.
