Global logistics integrator AP Moller-Maersk has taken 250,000 sq ft of space comprising the 178,000 sq ft unit 3 and 74,000 sq ft unit 4, which are scheduled for completion in Q4 2022 and Q2 2023 respectively. Both buildings are targeting LEED Gold and BREEAM Excellent ratings and IPUT claims unit 4 will be Ireland’s first net zero logistics building.
DHL and international retailer Harvey Norman complete the line-up at Quantum Logistics Park, pre-letting units 1 and 2 respectively, comprising 300,000 sq ft.
Niall Gaffney, CEO, IPUT Real Estate, said: “Our ambition for Quantum Logistics Park was to set a new sustainability standard for logistics in Ireland and attract global occupiers to our developments. We have experienced strong demand for all four units and are pleased to have pre-let the entire park welcoming DHL, Harvey Norman and Maersk to Quantum. In particular, we are pleased to work with Maersk to deliver Ireland’s first net zero logistics building which will support their 2040 net zero ambition.
“As we continue to build out our logistics portfolio, we will continue to push the standard in the Irish market, combining quality design, active placemaking and environmental performance.”
Simon Smith, country manager, Maersk Ireland, added: “We are delighted to partner with IPUT on our two new warehouse and distribution facilities in Quantum Logistics Park. This is a really important next step for Maersk in the Irish market which allows us to add significant capabilities for our customers, as we continue to offer integrated end to end solutions for their supply chains. It is also with great pride that sustainability will sit out at the forefront of these facilities. For Maersk to be partnering on the first ever Glulam timber framed facility to be built in this part of Europe, gives a strong signal of our commitment to our carbon zero goal.”
The lettings were brokered by HARVEY Industrial Property Specialists and CBRE Ireland.
