The world’s largest owner-operated developer of logistics, industrial, and commercial properties, Panattoni, is well-positioned to meet the growing demands in this sector. The company’s pan-European focus also opens up opportunities for the development of high-quality and sustainability-oriented properties.
The transformation of industrial and logistics properties is remarkable. These assets have evolved from simple storage locations to complex infrastructures that integrate automation, digital technologies, and increasingly AI-driven applications. With the rise of e-commerce and the demand for data centers as well as data-intensive services, the need for technically sophisticated logistics spaces is growing. These spaces must meet constantly changing requirements and offer flexibility, security, and efficiency in global supply chains. Demand is shaped not by short-term cycles but by long-term technological and structural developments.
Responsiveness and User Orientation
Thanks to its owner-operated structure, Panattoni can quickly respond to market changes as well as the needs of users and investors. This flexibility allows the company to realize projects in various markets and serve different investment models, regardless of specific capital sources. As a full-service developer, Panattoni supports its clients throughout the entire value chain – from site selection to planning and financing to long-term management. This approach ensures a high level of quality and a strong focus on the needs of users who demand reliability, flexibility, and timely delivery.
Panattoni’s portfolio includes a variety of properties in the field of industrial logistics, including last-mile hubs, national distribution centers, cold storage facilities, and production-related sites. To meet the increasing demand for AI-capable and energy-efficient properties, the company has established a specialized unit for data centers.
Robert Dobrzycki, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Owner of Panattoni, emphasizes: “Logistics properties have become central elements of the modern economy. The demand for high-quality, technologically advanced buildings continues to rise in all our markets.” He adds that the company is continuously expanding its platform in Europe and the United Kingdom to provide the next generation of sustainable and high-performance properties for resilient supply chains.
Fred-Markus Bohne, Managing Partner of Panattoni DACH and Nordics, adds: “We are witnessing that product availability, stability of supply chains, and digital infrastructure are becoming increasingly interconnected. Modern logistics, industrial, and commercial properties play a key role in this.” He highlights that it is crucial to create spaces that are technologically future-proof and flexible in use. Additionally, Panattoni works closely with municipalities to develop projects that benefit regional businesses, create new jobs, and strengthen the economic area in the long term.
