Douglas, the omnichannel premium beauty retailer, has signed a 10-year lease for more than 46,200 square meters of warehouse and office space at CTPark Warsaw South.
Douglas will use the new space at CTPark Warsaw South for its main distribution center in Poland and third worldwide. The company will occupy the entire WARS 01 building, where it will place a 1,317-square-meter office, as well as 44,940 square meters of warehouse space. This will allow Douglas to store up to eight million products in CTPark Warsaw South at the same time, potentially allowing it to fully supply 350 stationary perfumeries. The products stored at CTPark Warsaw South will be distributed in Poland, central Europe and the Baltic states. The warehouse will also supply European stores with private label products.
According to CTP, “the facility has been suitably adapted to [Douglas’s] needs. The modifications applied include increasing the level of translucency of natural light into the building, extending DALI lighting with additional sensors and impact zones, raising the standard of fire protection, as well as retrofitting the park with security and monitoring solutions. In addition, the operation of the warehouse will be supported by robotic systems, and the collection, processing and analysis of utility consumption data will be supported by Smart Metering System technology. Both heating and cooling will be powered by heat pumps, which are increasingly being installed as standard by CTP. A photovoltaic system of up to 0.5 MWp will also be installed on the roof.”
“We welcome Douglas to CTPark Warsaw South, which will provide an optimal environment for their main distribution center in Poland through its modern facilities, strategic location, and its first-rate ESG credentials, as one of only ten warehouse properties in Poland with a BREEAM certificate at the highest Outstanding level,” said CTP Managing Director for Poland Piotr Flugel. “Having signed a 10-year lease, we look forward to developing our relationship with Douglas, as part of our strategy to support and grow with our existing tenants with whom two-thirds of our leases are signed.”
“The new central warehouse for the Central and Eastern European region is a milestone in the realisation of Douglas’s strategic supply chain goals,” said Michal Niechaj, Supply Chain Director Corporate Brands & CEE Region at Douglas. “The facility will serve two purposes: to support the entire European market through the distribution of exclusive brands and to meet the omnichannel delivery needs of all CEE countries. This approach reinforces Douglas’s commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction across the region.”
