Logicenters has signed a new agreement with Skanska concerning the development and acquisition of a new property in Arlandastad. A modern logistics facility of 25,000 m2 is to be constructed with completion scheduled for the first quarter of 2020. The tenant Veddestagruppen will move in with all of the group’s four operations.
An agreement has been made between Logicenters and Skanska concerning a 25,000 m2 logistics facility in Arlandastad. The development is being undertaken by Skanska, and the property has been acquired by Logicenters. The property is scheduled for completion during the first quarter of 2020. The facility will have modern specifications and will be adapted to accommodate the needs of the tenant Veddestagruppen.
Arlandastad’s proximity to the international airport in Stockholm as well as both the E4 and E18 highways make the location an important logistics and transport hub. Logicenters has previously invested in another facility in the same area, which is now under development.
“We are happy to invest in another facility here, because Arlandastad is one of Sweden’s best logistics locations. It enables us to offer Veddestagruppen an optimal location for the facility as well as state-of-the-art specifications,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, Commercial Head at Logicenters.
“We are very pleased to be working with Logicenters on the development of the second phase of our property holding in Arlandastad. Overall, we are now developing more than 50,000 m2 of space in a very successful collaboration,” says Henrik Ahnström, Director of Project Development at Skanska Fastigheter Göteborg AB.
Can increase capacity by 50 percent
Veddestagruppen currently comprises the subsidiaries Veddesta Distribution, Veddesta Transport, Multi Logistik and Bemanningsstyrkan. The new facility will accommodate all operations, enabling the group to increase its warehousing capacity by up to 50 percent.
“As a result of Veddestagruppen’s growth, we needed to move to larger premises and Logicenters was able to offer the most attractive solution to meet our needs. We have previously operated in one of Logicenters’ properties, and the good relationship we have naturally contributed to us continuing to work with Logicenters as a partner,” says Jonas Eriksson, CEO of Veddestagruppen.
