What are Small Business Units projects?

Small Business Units are warehouse and office space dedicated to tenants who want prestigious downtown locations. These are projects located within the borders of large cities, with relatively small areas and modules starting from as little as 600m2. This is a very attractive offer for companies renting space for the needs of last mile logistics, and for those companies that are looking for modern space adapted to their needs in a location closely linked to the city centre.

"City warehouses are projects dedicated to those tenants who care about their proximity to a particular city."

The leader in the popularity of small modules among Polish cities is unquestionably Warsaw, where the demand for SBUs in recent years amounted to over 20%. It is worth noting the growing demand for this type of space in Katowice, Kraków and Wrocław. Well-connected locations in the centres of large cities, enabling employees to commute to work comfortably and quickly, are gaining in importance. City warehouses are projects dedicated to those tenants who care about the proximity to a given city.

Thanks to excellent communication and proximity to the city centre, tenants can offer their customers fast delivery, often calculated in hours from placing an order, and also give customers the option to collect goods directly from the warehouse without the need to visit the shop. This is a particularly important aspect at a time when a significant part of sales has moved to the Internet.

Moving to a class A building is an added value for the company's development

SBU facilities will become more and more clearly part of the urban landscape and will develop not only through urban logistics and the ever faster growing importance of the e-commerce industry, but also through greater consumer expectations in terms of delivery flexibility. It is also worth noting the very good condition of local companies, for whom moving to a class A building is an added value in the development of their business.

Apart from Warsaw, a good example from the south of Poland is the Upper Silesian Agglomeration. The Silesian warehouse market is concentrated mainly in the eastern and western part of the agglomeration. Until now, all logistic and industrial facilities have been concentrated in the neighbouring cities along the S1 road and the A4 motorway. Katowice and other Silesian cities constitute a huge consumer market. The location of the distribution warehouse in Katowice makes it possible to reach 4 million consumers within a radius of 45 kilometres. It is worth remembering that Katowice and Kraków are also perfect addresses for the company's headquarters.
