We believe it is important that we continue to work to ensure that there is land available on which companies can establish themselves; something that we believe will generate more jobs and increase employment in our municipality. In addition, this establishment is proof of the advantages of Örebro’s strategic location and we believe that this could be the first of several collaborations in the future,” says John Johansson (S), mayor of Örebro municipality.

The region is one of the country’s most important logistics hubs and we are proud to further strengthen our presence in Torsvik. Our modern properties were in line with the tenant’s wishes, so we saw potential to develop our partnership with Padel United. During this process, it also became clear that we share the same focus on environmental issues and a great deal of thought has been put into achieving Padel United’s sustainability goals,” says Fredrik Nygren, Commercial Manager at Logicenters.
Before Padel United moves in, the logistics facility will be further equipped to meet the tenant’s needs. The facility will be fitted out with 14 padel courts, with both single and centre courts. Logicenters will also install a sauna overlooking the courts.
“We at Padel United are very excited to be opening our Jönköping site. So far, Logicenters has catered to all our needs and during this process we have put a great deal of energy into everything from soundproofing to ventilation with the aim of creating the most open and comfortable environment possible for all padel players. We also see enormous potential in the facility’s location, which is in the centre of Torsvik, close to good transport links and close to everyone in the area.

The terminal will have an area of 6,700 m2 and is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2022.
During 2021, it was announced that Danish transport and logistics company BHS Logistics will be the first tenant at Logicenters’ new facility in Køge, just south of Copenhagen. At the Skandinavisk Transport Center logistics park, where the BHS Logistics terminal is located, Logicenters will develop additional logistics space of 60,000 m2. The new facilities will be developed in line with Logicenters’ ambitious sustainability goals with the opportunity to install solar cells to generate renewable energy.
“We are very proud to announce that development of the terminal for BHS Logistics is now under way. Like us, BHS Logistics has ambitious sustainability goals; the terminal will be adapted to meet these goals and to streamline its logistics operations. We look forward to welcoming our first tenant into the facility in Køge, Denmark,” says Thomas Petersen, Commercial Manager at Logicenters.
The facility in Køge is strategically located for logistics and transport with close proximity to the port of Køge and major motorways such as the E20, E55 and E47.
“It is gratifying that the groundbreaking ceremony for our new terminal has now taken place. This terminal will contribute to our efforts to develop and streamline our logistics in the Copenhagen region. We would like to thank Logicenters for its excellent collaboration so far and we look forward to taking possession of our new property in early 2022,” says Morten Studsgaard, CEO at BHS Logistics.

Vi er opptatt av å knytte til oss vekst sepskaper og har som strategi å være en vekstpartner for våre leietakere. De skal blant annet levere logistikken til Lokalbrygg AS og flere av Norges mindre vin og øl grosister. Fra innflytting er ca halvparten av lokalet fylt opp. Lokalbrygg AS hadde det første året en omsettning på 1mnok i 2020.

Vi valgte Vestby pga det ligger 35 min fra Oslo og man kommer stort sett inn og ut av Oslo uten å sitte fast i kø. Vi så på lokaler i andre områder, men en helhetsvurdering på reise tid, avstand fra Oslo og pris, gjorde at Logicenters sitt bygg i Vestby ble det beste alternativet. Vi har også nærhet til Asko, Vinhuset og Vinmonopolet sitt e-lager.Vi ønsker å takke Logicenters for et godt sammarbeid.. Dette er svært viktig for vår satsning videre og vi gleder oss til å samlokalisere virksomhet fra alnabru og Langhus, i et nytt lagerbygg av topp kvalitet”. sier Marianne Frydenlund som er Styreleder i Malomo 3PL AS.

Logicenters har rekruttert Søren Rodian Olsen i rollen som daglig leder i Polen. Søren har lang erfaring fra det polske eiendomsmarkedet, senest som rollen som Head of Capital Markets i Cushman & Wakefield. I Logicenters kommer han til å lede og utvikle selskapets portefølje i det polske markedet, der selskapet har planer om å øke sin tilstedeværelse betraktelig de neste årene.
Tidligere i sommer ble det kunngjort at Logicenters, sammen med NREPs spydspiss innen kundeorienterte boliger, ekspanderer forbi de nordiske grensene til Nord-Europa – med Polen som første land. For å støtte ekspansjonen til det polske markedet har Logicenters nå rekruttert Søren Rodian Olsen for å lede logistikkselskapets virksomhet i landet. Han kommer senest fra Cushman & Wakefield og har 19 års erfaring fra det polske eiendomsmarkedet.
«Jeg vil ønske Søren velkommen til Logicenters-teamet, der han blir vår første rekruttering til Polen. Søren har sine røtter i Norden, som innebærer at han har forståelse for at bærekraft er et tema som skiller oss fra mange andre deler av Nord-Europa. Det, kombinert med hans mangeårige erfaring fra å jobbe med det polske eiendomsmarkedet gjør meg sikker på at han er den rette til å etablere Logicenters tilstedeværelse i landet og sikre vekst de neste årene», sier Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO i Logicenters
En million kvadratmeter logistikkareal innen tre år
Logicenters har ambisiøse planer om å påvirke det polske logistikkmarkedet gjennom ESG og bærekraft. Gjennom de neste tre årene har logistikkselskapet som målsetning å eie og utvikle opp mot 1 000 000 m2 logistikkareal i Polen. Og på samme måte som i Norden kommer Logicenters eiendommer i Polen til å være fremtidsrettede og kjennetegnet av bærekraft og kvalitet.
«Det skal bli veldig spennende å lede Logicenters etablering og vekst i Polen. Jeg er stolt over å få ta del i et så suksessfullt og verdi-drevet selskap som Logicenters. Jeg ser frem til å hjelpe Logicenters med å bli det åpenbare førstevalget innen logistikk gjennom å finne gode løsninger for nye kunder og hjelpe våre eksisterende kunder til å vokse sammen med oss», sier Søren Rodian Olsen, Managing Director i Logicenters Polen.
Logicenters utvider nå sin tilstedeværelse utenfor Norden med en første etablering i Polen. Som en ledende logistikk eiendomsaktør i Norden, vil Logicenters bringe sitt vellykkede konsept med sterkt fokus på langsiktighet, kvalitet, fleksibilitet og bærekraft til et av Europas største logistikkmarkeder.
Logicenters fortsetter å vokse. Nå tar selskapet sitt vellykkede logistikkonsept til Europa med Polen som det første markedet utenfor Norden. Polen er det femte største logistikk eiendomsmarkedet i Europa og er også et av de raskest voksende markedene på kontinentet. I 2019 ble det utviklet til sammen 2,7 millioner m2 med logistikk i landet. Til sammenligning ble det i samme periode utviklet rundt 650 000 m2 logistikk i Sverige – som er det største markedet i Norden. Fra et geografisk perspektiv er Polen også godt egnet for god kommunikasjon rundt om i landet, opp til de nordiske landene og ut til resten av Europa.
I et første trinn har Logicenters anskaffet det polske selskapet BIK SA og dets eksisterende portefølje, som inkluderer fire eiendommer med to potensielle utvidelser, samt en tomt – hvor det totale logistikkarealet anslås å utgjøre over 115.000 m2. Fasilitetene ligger i byene Wroclaw og Katowice i Sør-Polen. Med sin høye befolkningstetthet og store fabrikklynger er regionen et strategisk viktig sted å drive logistikk.
“De siste årene har vi utviklet vår nordiske portefølje eksponentielt, og vår ambisjon er å fortsette å styrke vår tilstedeværelse her. Men vi ser også Polen som et naturlig skritt fremover i Logicenters utvikling. Dels fordi det polske logistikkmarkedet fortsatt er i sin spede begynnelse, der vi ser et enormt potensiale for å kunne bistå med morgendagens fasiliteter i landet, og dels fordi mange av våre eksisterende kunder allerede har virksomhet i Polen. Vi vil selvfølgelig fortsette å støtte dem ved å vokse i takt med virksomheten i både Norden og Polen, noe som er helt i tråd med hvordan vi driver vår virksomhet,“ sier Matthias Kettelhoit, administrerende direktør, Logicenters.
Bærekraft i fokus
Sammenlignet med mange andre deler av verden er det nordiske logistikkmarkedet i forkant når det gjelder bærekraftig logistikk. Derfor ser Logicenters at lanseringen til det europeiske kontinentet vil være et naturlig skritt for å ta med seg den nordiske bærekraftsagendaen. Og som vanlig vil anleggene oppfylle høye krav til bærekraft og energieffektivitet også i Polen.
“Vi ønsker å kunne utvikle morgendagens eiendommer som holder høy kvalitet i mange år fremover. En stor del av det handler om å utvikle bærekraftige anlegg som ikke bare er bærekraftige og energieffektive, men også kostnadseffektive over tid. Allerede i dag opplever vi en høy etterspørsel etter mer bærekraftig logistikk, der mange av våre leietakere har et krav om at eiendommene de driver i holder en høy bærekraftsstandard. Og akkurat som vi har vært ledende i en mer bærekraftig overgang i den nordiske logistikkindustrien, må vi også sørge for at vi legger til rette for mer bærekraftig logistikk også i Polen. Noe vi er overbevist om vil være til nytte for både næringsliv og miljø,“ avslutter Matthias Kettelhoit, administrerende direktør, Logicenters.
