• The space rented by DHL Express in VGP Park Bucharest North will be used for sorting and processing the shipments arriving by air.

CBRE Romania announces that DHL Express, the global leader in international express courier services, will open a new logistics center in VGP Park Bucharest North, located in the immediate vicinity of Bucharest, in the town of Ștefănești. The lease of the new center's space, with an area of 4,109 square meters, was facilitated by CBRE Romania.

The logistics center will specialize in sorting parcels arriving by air, ensuring their fast delivery to DHL Express customers in Romania. The strategic location of VGP Park Bucharest North, near the A3 Bucharest-Ploiești highway, facilitates quick access to the road transport network, thus optimizing the delivery process.

"We are delighted that we will be able to operate this new logistics center in VGP Park Bucharest North, which will allow us to significantly improve our shipments sorting and delivery capacity, as well as ensuring the safety & security of our customers goods and employees routes in Romania. This strategic investment reflects our continuous commitment to the Romanian market and strengthens our position as a market leader in the express courier industry", highlighted Bogdan Enache, Managing Director DHL Express Romania.

The new DHL Express logistics facility will operate in the third completed building in VGP Park Bucharest North, a modern construction with a total area of 26,966 square meters. This innovative building, which will be rated BREEAM Excellent, uses heat pumps for heating, ensuring superior energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact, completely eliminating the need to use gas.

"VGP Park Bucharest North enjoys a strategic location, with direct access to the A3 and A0 highways, the latter simplifying access to the airport. This excellent connectivity was made possible thanks to significant investments in infrastructure, which have transformed the park into a first-class logistics center. The development of road infrastructure, especially the highway, has played a crucial role in facilitating the rapid and efficient transport of goods to and from the park," added Călin Badea, I&L consultant at CBRE Romania.

At a national level, CBRE data highlights an upward trend in the logistics sector, characterized by an increasing demand for modern and efficient logistics spaces, strategically located near airports and main transport routes. This growth is supported by Romania's access to the Schengen area, which has simplified the transit of goods by eliminating controls at internal air borders, thus strengthening Romania's role as an important logistics center in the region.

VGP Park Bucharest North, with a total area of approximately 250,000 square meters, offers a leasable space of approximately 120,000 square meters, distributed in four buildings. The fact that the first two buildings are already fully occupied confirms the park's attractiveness for companies seeking modern and efficient logistics solutions.
