IN Brief:
- Procent Poland has leased more than 23,000 sqm at the planned 7R Park Szczecin South.
- The wider two-building development will provide approximately 29,000 sqm near road links serving Poland and Germany.
- Construction begins in August 2026, with BREEAM Excellent targeted and completion scheduled for Q3 2027.
7R is returning to the Szczecin warehouse market with a 29,000 sqm logistics development that has secured Procent Poland as the sole occupier of its larger building before construction starts.
7R Park Szczecin South will comprise two Class A buildings, one exceeding 23,000 sqm and a second of approximately 5,000 sqm. Procent Poland has signed a long-term lease covering the entire larger building, where it will operate logistics services supporting e-commerce customers.
The pre-let removes a substantial part of the initial letting risk before the development moves through construction. It also gives Procent Poland the ability to influence the layout and infrastructure of a building intended for its own operating model instead of adapting later to a completed speculative warehouse.
That distinction matters in e-commerce logistics because useful warehouse capacity is determined by considerably more than floor area. Storage density, packing activity, dock configuration, fire protection, automation, returns handling, labour movement, and the balance between reserve stock and fast-moving inventory all affect the amount of throughput a building can support.
Procent Poland provides logistics services associated with online retail, including work for large international e-commerce businesses. Moving into a dedicated hall gives the operator additional room to configure its processes around that customer base while keeping the physical operation under one roof.
The location provides the second part of the proposition. 7R Park Szczecin South will be developed in the south-west of Szczecin, close to the German border and major routes connecting western Poland with Germany and other Western European markets.
The site will have access to the A6 motorway, which connects with Germany’s A11 towards Berlin, alongside the S3 and S6 expressways. It will sit approximately seven kilometres from central Szczecin and around 36 kilometres from Szczecin-Goleniów Airport.
Access to the ports of Szczecin and Świnoujście extends the potential network beyond road distribution. The combination allows the facility to support regional delivery, longer cross-border truck flows, and cargo linked to maritime services serving the Baltic and wider European markets.
For an e-commerce logistics operator, proximity to Germany can shorten the line-haul distance between Polish inventory and a large consumer market. The advantage is practical only if transport schedules, labour availability, warehouse cut-off times, and carrier capacity allow the site to convert that geography into reliable fulfilment.
The building specification reflects that operational focus. Heating in Procent Poland’s hall will be provided by heat pumps integrated with a 50 kWp photovoltaic installation, while DALI lighting will be controlled through the building management system.
The facility will also use an ESFR K360 sprinkler system operating at 4.1 bar. 7R says the higher specification gives the occupier more flexibility around the products and storage configurations that can be accommodated, reducing the risk that a future change in customer mix creates an expensive fire-protection retrofit.
The wider development is targeting BREEAM Excellent certification. For occupiers, energy and sustainability specifications increasingly affect more than reporting: power costs, heating demand, lighting efficiency, and the ability to document building performance can all influence the operating economics of a long lease.
7R reports that modern industrial stock across West Pomerania is close to 1.4 million sqm, with vacancy of about 1.4%, compared with a national average of 7.3%. Those are developer-supplied market figures, but they provide context for Procent Poland committing to a building before construction rather than waiting for suitable existing capacity to become available.
Low vacancy is particularly restrictive where an operator needs a specific technical configuration. Existing space may be available in the wrong location or lack the docks, electrical capacity, fire protection, yard layout, or internal clear height required for the intended operation.
Depenbrock Polska has been appointed as general contractor. Construction is scheduled to begin during August 2026, with completion of the whole two-building complex expected in the third quarter of 2027.
The programme gives Procent Poland time to plan stock migration, systems integration, staffing, transport contracts, and any automation required inside the new hall. The eventual success of the move will depend less on the size of the lease than on whether that transition occurs without disrupting the e-commerce services the additional capacity is intended to support.
