According to Nikoliers, construction of 146 sq. m. has been completed in St. Petersburg since the beginning of the year. m warehouses. Contrary to expectations, developers continue to implement projects, as well as launch the construction of previously announced complexes. By the end of 2022, the commissioning volume may become the second largest in the last eight years.
Among the largest facilities put into operation are the first stage of the Nart agricultural park logistics center (23,7 thousand sq. m.), the Ozon warehouse complex in PNK Park Shushary 3 (60 thousand sq. m.), as well as a fully filled speculative warehouse complex "Trodex Logistic" (23 thousand sq. m.).
