The new DHL Express logistics facility will operate in the third completed building in VGP Park Bucharest North, a modern construction with a total area of 26,966 square meters. This innovative building, which will be rated BREEAM Excellent, uses heat pumps for heating, ensuring superior energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact, completely eliminating the need to use gas.
"VGP Park Bucharest North enjoys a strategic location, with direct access to the A3 and A0 highways, the latter simplifying access to the airport. This excellent connectivity was made possible thanks to significant investments in infrastructure, which have transformed the park into a first-class logistics center. The development of road infrastructure, especially the highway, has played a crucial role in facilitating the rapid and efficient transport of goods to and from the park," added Călin Badea, I&L consultant at CBRE Romania.
At a national level, CBRE data highlights an upward trend in the logistics sector, characterized by an increasing demand for modern and efficient logistics spaces, strategically located near airports and main transport routes. This growth is supported by Romania's access to the Schengen area, which has simplified the transit of goods by eliminating controls at internal air borders, thus strengthening Romania's role as an important logistics center in the region.
VGP Park Bucharest North, with a total area of approximately 250,000 square meters, offers a leasable space of approximately 120,000 square meters, distributed in four buildings. The fact that the first two buildings are already fully occupied confirms the park's attractiveness for companies seeking modern and efficient logistics solutions.
