  • Cabanillas Park II is a logistics development in the Corredor de Henares with 210,000 sq.m. This development expands MERLIN's footprint in this location on the A-2, following the successful development of Cabanillas Park I, with 315,841 sq.m.
  • Logista, the leading distribution company in southern Europe, will occupy a 47,155 sq.m warehouse and will have the option to add a further 47,000 sq.m within a year.

 

MERLIN Properties has signed a turnkey project with Logista to build the first warehouse in the logistics development called Cabanillas Park II, located in one of the main logistics hubs of the Iberian Peninsula thanks to its location on the A-2 and its good connections.

The leading distribution company in southern Europe will occupy a surface area of 47,155 sq.m, with the option to add a further 47,000 sq.m within a year. The warehouse will offer all the features necessary to adapt to Logista's current needs, including a 4,000 sq.m area dedicated to cold logistics. It will also meet the highest environmental standards, in line with the rest of the projects developed by the company to obtain LEED certification, as in most of the projects developed by MERLIN in the Gold or Platinum categories; proof of MERLIN's commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.

"This is one of our largest turnkey projects and with it we expand our footprint in the A-2 corridor, where MERLIN is already the undisputed leader", says Luis Lázaro, Managing Director of Retail and Logistics at MERLIN Properties.

For Luis Egido de la Hera, Managing Director of LogistaDis, "the new warehouse, in a strategic location on the front line of the A-2 and with a larger surface area than the current warehouse, responds to the expansion needs of the business. It also has the best facilities and the latest technologies for the proper development of the activity, which is undoubtedly a differential value that will allow LogistaDis to reinforce its leadership".

Cabanillas Park II is the last major development in the Corredor del Henares with direct frontage on the A-2 and is also one of the largest logistics developments on the Iberian Peninsula with a buildable area of more than 210,000 sq.m. This project continues and expands the successful development of Cabanillas Park I, a state-of-the-art logistics park with a GLA of 315,841 sq.m, with clients such as XPO, DSV, 4PX and Luis Simoes.
