SEGRO extends lease agreement with Ikea
SEGRO has extended the lease agreement with Ikea in its park in Hostivice.
The unit serves as a dispensing warehouse for customers who have purchased goods from the well-known Scandinavian chain at its nearby store in Zličín. The Ikea warehouse is located in a 6,720 sqm unit in Building G.
The cooperation between SEGRO and Ikea has been long-standing - the furniture dispensing warehouse has been located in SEGRO Logistics Park Prague since 2014. It is popular among customers due to its easy accessibility and short distance from the store itself.
SEGRO Logistics Park Prague offers up to 250,000 sqm of leasable area in 14 halls. It is popular among occupiers due to its proximity to the Václav Havel Airport and easy connection to the city ring road and the D5 motorway towards Plzeň. It is also accessible by public transport, which is appreciated by the occupiers’ employees and is an important aspect for the park owner in terms of sustainability.
Daniel Kubizňák, Head of the Czech Republic, SEGRO, said:
"At SEGRO we value building long-term partnerships with our customers, and this is a great example. Environmental sustainability is also hugely important to us and the park is therefore continuously undergoing innovations to meet the high standards of the international BREEAM certification.
"An example is the recent installation of charging stations for electric vehicles, which are located right next to the Ikea outlet store. They can be used by Ikea customers as well as all park occupiers and their guests.
"We want to make our occupiers’ and their customers' stay with us more enjoyable. This way, the time spent waiting for goods to be dispensed can be used efficiently by electric car drivers by recharging their cars. Championing low-carbon growth is one of our strategic priorities and by building more charging stations we want to contribute to the development of electric mobility in the Czech Republic."
SEGRO is determined to play the role of a leader in the warehouse market when it comes to creating green spaces that promote biodiversity as part of its developments. Out of concern for the environment, a few years ago it started working with a local beekeeper who has been working in Hostivice for more than 25 years. He supports the selection of greenery in the space of SEGRO Logistics Park Prague and regularly takes care of the apiary. Together, they also planted several trees this year next to the E hall and arranged the space intended for an orchard.
These are activities carried out as part of the Responsible SEGRO programme, whose three pillars are Championing low-carbon growth, as well as Investing in local communities and Nurturing talent.
