In 2012, the Hines Global REIT acquired five logistics facilities in Poland totaling 2,443,428 square feet located in Warsaw (Distribution Park Okecie and Annopol), Upper Silesia (Distribution Park Bedzin (DP Bedzin), Distribution Park Sosnowiec) and Wroclaw (Distribution Park Wroclaw).
Distribution Park Bedzin, completed in 2008, is a 587,117-square-foot state-of-the-art distribution center. The location in the Upper Silesian Industrial agglomeration is excellent with respect to major transport routes and the Katowice-Pyrzowice international airport. DP Bedzin is located close to the A4 motorway, linking Germany with Ukraine, and near the E40 - the longest European route, leading from the east to the west, passing Krakow and Wroclaw. This location provides convenient connections with the E75 European route.
Hines sold the property in 2018.
