LPP Distribution Centre in Brześć Kujawski hailed as the Best New Warehouse of the Year in Central and Eastern Europe
The distribution centre in Brześć Kujawski has been recognised as the Best New Warehouse of the Year in Central and Eastern Europe. The 12th edition of the CEE Region Eurobuild Awards is behind us.
The 12th CEE Region Eurobuild Awards gala was held in Warsaw, honouring the best projects and the most outstanding people and teams that have stood out among the construction industry players in Central and Eastern Europe over the past 20 months.
The winners in 35 categories were selected by more than 400 tenants and a jury of 200 experts. The LPP Distribution Centre in Brześć Kujawski was recognised as the Best New Warehouse of the Year in Central and Eastern Europe. As many as 10 facilities were nominated in this category.
The award committee appreciated the investment for its aesthetics, functionality and implementation of sustainable development principles. The Distribution Centre, designed by the architectural office Tacakiewicz Ferma Kresek, stands out in the market of industrial and warehouse facilities due to its many elements, such as a unique entrance portal, circulation routes and surrounding greenery, a façade reminiscent of a fabric structure, spacious interiors, large glazed areas providing daylight, bus platforms and bicycle infrastructure in front of the building, as well as ecological solutions such as photovoltaic panels, heat recuperators, water recovery installations and motion sensors controlling electrical installations. The ambitious vision of LPP Logisitics, in cooperation with the designers and contractor, made it possible to create a trend-setting facility for this type of investment.
The 75,000 m2 state-of-the-art centre opened in February 2022 and provides for the distribution of up to 8m items of clothing and accessories per week. Its storage capacity is 40m items, which is equivalent to 67,000 pallets of goods. The automation solutions used, including two sorters with a unique drop design, enable up to 1,000 stores to be served simultaneously. The facility, powered by renewable energy, was designed with sustainable building standards in mind and has been BREEAM certified.
The awards are organised by Eurocee, publisher of the English-Polish monthly – Eurobuild CEE. The Eurobuild Awards aim to recognise the most outstanding representatives of the construction industry and projects, with the long-term goal of helping to create a group of professionals who will have a real influence on the shape of the investment market in the CEE region, as well as supporting the process of establishing the principles and directions that this market will follow in the future.
