Problem:

P3 Logistic Parks aimed to develop a modern warehouse in Katowice, Poland, that would meet the highest standards of sustainability while catering to tenants who needed proximity to the city center. The challenge was to design and construct a facility that not only fulfilled the operational needs of its tenants but also minimized environmental impact.

These included insulation panels, infrastructure ready for photovoltaic solar panels, energy-efficient LED lighting with an automatic DALI control system, and water-saving fixtures with presence sensors in bathrooms. The building was also designed with bicycle shelters and electric vehicle charging stations to promote sustainable transportation. Additionally, P3 revitalized the surrounding 4.7-hectare site by planting nearly 300 trees, enhancing greenery, demolishing deteriorated buildings, and cleaning up polluted soil.
