Bratislava, Slovak Republic, 28 October 2020 – VGP, a pan-European provider of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial real estate, is developing a new business park directly adjacent the E58 motorway in the cadaster of town Bernolákovo, less than 6 kms from Bratislava. A first tenant, the logistics company GEIS will start using the premises from the summer of 2021.
VGP Park Bratislava is one of the largest parks in the VGP portfolio. In an area of 58 hectares, more than 250,000 m2 of semi-industrial or logistics spaces will be created. The location of the park, next to the motorway, on the left side of D1 in the direction from Bratislava, represents an excellent connection with the capital city as well as with other European cities (Vienna, Budapest); Bratislava Airport is only 7 km away.
In the summer of 2021, the first tenant, the logistics company GEIS will start using the premises, with an area of 18,000 m2.
“Our company Geis SK is one of the largest logistics companies on the Slovak market and, in the field of domestic pallet transportation, it is even the leader of the Slovak market. Thanks to the dynamic growth, we needed to find larger and more suitable premises for our regional branch in the Bratislava region. Our request was a modern cross-dock terminal in combination with a warehouse near Bratislava and, at the same time, in a location right next to the D1 motorway. VGP Park Bratislava meets all these parameters,” said Daniel Knaisl, Managing Director of the Geis Group for CZ, SK and PL.
The founder and CEO of VGP, Jan Van Geet, said: “We are very excited about or new park in Bratislava, it is one of the largest projects in our portfolio with a unique position in the heart of central Europe. The location benefits from excellent infrastructure in the greater Bratislava region, a city which is home to a lot of technical talent.”
Jan Van Geet continued: “It is also with great joy that we may welcome GEIS as first tenant in our new park – a modern logistics company with over six decades of experience with whom we have been cooperating with over many years in both Slovakia and the Czech Republic. We have already noted significant interest in the park from international blue-chip clients and, toghether with those responsible in the local community, we will continue to promote the economic significance of the location.”
