Second 7R Green Saver warehouse under construction in Przylesie

7R, a developer of high-quality warehouses, has begun construction of its second 7R Green Saver facility. The warehouse is distinguished by its low operational carbon footprint and savings on operating costs. The tenant of the BTS facility, the first warehouse in 7R Park Przylesie, is a Polish company of the Eberspächer Group—a global automotive supplier.

7R Green Saver is a warehouse that meets the company’s four strict ESG criteria for this product line. As a result, the building will achieve a minimum 50 percent reduction in operational CO2 emissions and a 70 percent reduction in primary energy demand compared to buildings constructed in accordance with Polish building regulations. Energy-efficient solutions will help generate savings on operating costs for the tenant. The warehouse has been designed to achieve BREEAM certification at the highest level, Outstanding.

– The first BTS building at 7R Park Przylesie meets the high standards of a 7R Green Saver warehouse and has also been fully adapted to the specific needs of the client’s operations. “We have implemented a number of technical adaptations, such as increasing lighting by 12.5 percent, improving ventilation quality, enhancing wall and roof insulation, and installing heat pumps and a building management system (BMS). The building will also be equipped with an electric vehicle charging station and ground-mounted solar panels,” concludes Magdalena Kostjan, Business Development and Leasing Director at 7R.

The BTS currently under construction in Opole’s Przylesie district covers an area of 12,600 square meters and is the first facility in the new 7R Park Przylesie, which will ultimately offer approximately 270,000 square meters of warehouse and production space. It is located just off the A4 highway, 1.5 km from the Brzeg interchange, 50 km south of Wrocław.

The tenant of the facility is Eberspächer Sütrak Poland, a Polish subsidiary of the Eberspächer Group, a global leader in the manufacture and supply of automotive components. At the new site, the company will produce air conditioning systems for buses and coaches equipped with electric, hybrid, and conventional powertrains, employing a team of approximately one hundred people. These thermal management solutions provide comfort for both passengers and drivers, supporting sustainable public transportation worldwide.

– We chose 7R Park Przylesie because of its excellent location and the professional, highly personalized approach to the BTS production project, including the internal layout of the production hall tailored to our processes. The environmental aspect and the low carbon footprint of Green Saver also played a major role. We pay a lot of attention to ESG issues, and the components and systems we produce provide more comfort, more safety, and a cleaner environment on and off the road,” concluded Oliver Wels, Executive Vice President of Eberspächer Bus and Coach.

The project’s implementation was significantly aided by the months-long support and commitment of local authorities. – This investment is an excellent example of how collaboration between business and local government can bring tangible benefits to the entire community. The municipality of Olszanka, recognizing the potential and development opportunities of the investment areas located at the “Brzeg Motorway Junction” in Przylesie, is currently in the process of building a road leading to the warehouse. It will streamline logistics and provide convenient access for future employees. – added Tymoteusz Drebschok, Mayor of the Municipality of Olszanka.

The company was represented in the leasing process by Savills Advisors.
