05 grudnia 2023

Torus Logistics, a prominent private development company headquartered in Gdańsk, has proudly announced the successful acquisition of a building permit for its new initiative, Gdynia City Logistics. In partnership with BTV, a boutique asset and development management company specializing in logistics real estate, this venture signifies an alliance aimed at addressing the evolving demands of the logistics market.

The sanctioned project encompasses the development of a cutting-edge warehouse and office facility, spanning 23,500 square meters. Positioned on Północna Street, a mere 5 kilometres from the Gdynia Port and 9 kilometres from the city centre of Gdynia, the site strategically caters to diverse operational needs, including port-related services, inner-city logistics/last-mile delivery, and e-commerce.

We consistently diversify our development activities, capitalizing on the favourable market conditions in the logistics sector. We have extensive experience from other warehouse or office investments, which will pay off here and will be reflected, among other things, in the functionality of the facility or its certification. Gdynia City Logistics is characterised by its outstanding urban location, which, I am convinced, will quickly validate itself through market interest

- says Sławomir Gajewski, CEO of Torus.
