IN Brief:
- Tatuum has leased 18,500 sqm of warehouse and office space at Marq Logistics Łódź III.
- The Polish fashion brand will use the facility as its central warehouse.
- The move supports omnichannel servicing, operational flexibility, and long-term expansion.
Tatuum has leased approximately 18,500 sqm of warehouse and office space at Marq Logistics Łódź III, relocating its central warehouse to a logistics park in the eastern part of Łódź.
The Polish fashion brand selected the facility to support its next stage of development in Poland and international markets. AXI IMMO advised the tenant during the relocation process, which focused on finding existing logistics space capable of meeting operational requirements within a limited timeframe.
Proximity to Tatuum’s headquarters was a decisive factor. Keeping logistics close to management and operational teams gives the company tighter control over warehouse processes, commercial planning, stock availability, returns handling, and coordination between online and store fulfilment.
The move also reinforces the role of Łódź as one of Poland’s most important logistics markets. Central Poland benefits from its position between major domestic cities and European trade routes, making the region attractive for retail, e-commerce, parcel, manufacturing, and distribution operations seeking national reach without relying exclusively on Warsaw or western border locations.
For fashion retailers, warehouse capacity is now closely tied to commercial performance. Seasonal ranges, changing demand patterns, store replenishment, e-commerce fulfilment, returns processing, markdown activity, and cross-border sales all depend on how accurately and quickly inventory can be handled. A central warehouse must therefore support predictable replenishment while remaining flexible enough to absorb demand shifts.
Omnichannel logistics is particularly unforgiving in fashion because products are highly seasonal, size and colour variants multiply SKU complexity, and returns can quickly distort inventory accuracy. A warehouse that is not designed for fast putaway, picking, quality control, repacking, and returns reintegration can turn a strong sales period into a margin problem.
Retail logistics investment across Europe is increasingly moving towards facilities that can support multiple channels from a single stock pool. Separate fulfilment models for stores, e-commerce, and returns can create duplication and weaker availability. Centralised operations can improve stock control, but only where systems, labour, carrier routines, and layout support rapid movement across channels.
The new central warehouse gives Tatuum a stronger platform for international development. Export growth or cross-border online sales require more than carrier access. They depend on accurate product data, customs-ready documentation where applicable, returns routes, multilingual order support, and the ability to allocate inventory between domestic and international demand without losing control of availability.
Centralisation also concentrates risk. A single warehouse must be resilient enough to absorb peak pressure, labour constraints, system issues, and carrier disruption. That places more weight on layout, warehouse management system configuration, automation readiness, dock planning, and contingency capacity.
By taking space in an existing logistics park, Tatuum can reduce development lead time compared with a purpose-built project. The operational performance will depend on how quickly the site can be configured around the brand’s retail rhythms, especially during seasonal range changes and promotional peaks.
The transaction also points to a deeper trend in the Polish logistics market. Demand is no longer limited to global retailers, parcel carriers, and large 3PLs. Domestic and regional brands are also investing in higher-quality warehouse infrastructure as e-commerce, store networks, and cross-border growth converge.
For Łódź, the lease reinforces the city’s role as a retail logistics base. For Tatuum, the additional capacity provides a physical platform for growth, with the next test sitting in stock accuracy, replenishment speed, and lower operational friction across channels.
