The company unveiled a plaque at the park at a special ceremony to mark this major achievement, which reinforces P3 strong performance and highlights its ambitions for continued growth.

P3 plans include continued expansion in Romania as well as significant growth in Western Europe. Following the recent acquisition of land adjacent to P3 Bucharest park, the company now has the opportunity to build up to 90,000 m2 more space in units ranging from 4,000 m2 to 40,000 m2.

"We are proud to have reached our 300,000th square metre. It is a testament to the strong demand for the park's location just 13 km from the city centre and the quality of service customers receive from P3, with many businesses wishing to expand within the park. We look forward to continuing to develop our existing land bank and reinforcing P3 Bucharest park's position as the premier logistics park in Romania" said Blake Horsley, Country Head of P3 Romania.

Peter Becar, Managing Director, P3 CEE added: "P3 Bucharest park is the largest logistic park in Bucharest and in the country. P3 acquired the park from CA Immobilien Anlagen AG at the beginning of 2015, the largest logistics deal concluded in the Romanian industrial market that year, At the time the park had 215,000 sqm of lettable space in eight warehouses. Delivering on our strategy to establish the park as an important logistics hub near Bucharest, P3 has built another 85,000 sqm of space and now owns eleven buildings in P3 Bucharest park. "

P3's first new development project in Romania, a 28,000 m² warehouse at P3 Bucharest park, was quickly pre-let as part of a deal with Carrefour to establish an 81,000 m2 logistics complex at P3 Bucharest park. The second project was a new 19,100 m² cold storage building, of which 15,000 m² has been leased by Carrefour. In February 2016, P3 started construction of a third warehouse of 42,800 m² designed to respond to the live requirements of P3's existing clients that are planning to expand their businesses in Bucharest. The building is scheduled for completion in the summer 2016 and the remaining space will be available for lease.

All three new developments have been designed to meet P3's highest build and environmental standards. They all also feature an 11.5m clear height, higher than the majority of industrial stock in Bucharest, which allows customers to benefit from extra storage space.


P3 Bucharest park is strategically located approximately 13 km west of Bucharest city centre and offers direct access to and high visibility from the new A1 motorway. It is close to the city's ring road, which provides easy access to its six districts, Henri Coanda International Airport (22 km away) and the A2 motorway.

P3 currently has 246,000 sqm of warehouse space under construction in four countries across Europe, more than double its 2015 development total of 113,000 sqm, and a number of other projects in the pipeline. It's portfolio totals 3.3 million sqm in nine countries and it also has a land bank with zoning for 1.4 million sqm of further development.
