IN Brief:
- GDL AB has secured approximately 7,500 sqm at Ättehögen Östra 3 in Helsingborg.
- The facility combines terminal space, offices, yard area, and cold storage capability across three temperature zones.
- Helsingborg’s location and infrastructure continue to pull demand from operators building regional distribution and last-mile capability.
Mileway has signed a long-term lease agreement with GDL AB for approximately 7,500 sqm of warehouse and office space at Ättehögen Östra 3 in Helsingborg, Sweden, strengthening capacity in one of the country’s most strategically positioned logistics corridors. The property sits in the Ättekulla industrial area around 7 km south of central Helsingborg, with direct access to the E4 and E6 motorways — a useful combination for regional distribution flows moving between southern Sweden, Denmark, and onward European routes.
Mileway said the asset includes around 6,300 sqm of terminal space and roughly 1,150 sqm of office space, with operations designed to run across three different temperature zones. Alongside the internal configuration, the site offers generous yard areas, ample parking, a large manoeuvring area, and a secure fenced environment — features that tend to be non-negotiable for operators running mixed freight profiles and high-frequency vehicle movements.
GDL AB said the facility will support handling for a broad product mix, spanning industrial and consumer categories that often demand different storage and handling regimes. Kadir Besic, Site Manager at GDL AB, said: “The new facility gives us great flexibility to efficiently handle different types of goods.” He added that the business will be working with multiple temperature zones and a range of products, including raw coffee, white goods, groceries, and building materials.
The facility has also undergone upgrades intended to improve day-to-day operability and energy performance. Mileway said improvements include new loading doors, a freshly painted façade, new energy-efficient LED lighting, and an upgraded office ventilation system. Those upgrades are increasingly part of the baseline spec for modern lettings, particularly in markets where occupiers are under pressure to document operational efficiency, not simply expand square metres.
For Mileway, Helsingborg remains a proven market where last-mile and regional distribution requirements intersect. Jacob Goldmann, Country Director Sweden at Mileway, said the lease “underlines the strong appeal of the asset and the strategic importance of the Helsingborg location,” adding that the company’s investment approach is focused on maintaining modern, flexible facilities that support efficient and sustainable operations.
Helsingborg’s draw is not new, but the shape of demand continues to evolve. Multi-temperature capability — even at modest scale — is becoming a differentiator as operators handle a wider mix of goods, including grocery and temperature-sensitive lines, without splitting inventory across multiple buildings. At the same time, yard depth, security, and motorway connectivity remain critical for fleets that need reliable turnaround and predictable route planning.
The lease is another datapoint in a broader Nordic pattern: operators are prioritising facilities that can flex between product types and service levels, rather than single-purpose sheds built around a narrow flow. In practice, that flexibility is what keeps utilisation high when customer mixes change and contract volumes swing.
