Itercon has started the construction of a new logistics warehouse in Castellar del Vallès, Barcelona, which will be managed by CBRE Investment Management. The project, which started at the end of 2023, is scheduled for completion by the end of this year and is located on a plot of more than 40,000 square metres in the Pla de la Bruguera industrial estate.
The tenant of this warehouse will be ID Logistics, a multinational that also occupies the adjacent building. Once completed, the facility will serve Grupo Puig, a Catalan company operating in the perfumery, cosmetics and fashion sectors, including brands such as Gaultier, Rabanne, Carolina Herrera and Charlotte Tilbury.
The warehouse covers a total surface area of 25,120 square metres, mainly for storage, with office areas spread over two floors. The warehousing system is automated and uses advanced German technology to improve efficiency in product distribution. In addition, the building will have 32 loading bays and will reach a maximum interior height of 13.90 metres, optimising the space available for storage.
In terms of sustainability, the construction of the building integrates practices such as the continuous monitoring of energy consumption and the extensive use of prefabricated materials, including detailed life cycle analysis and proper transportation of these materials. In addition, a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) will be implemented to monitor the main energy consumptions and photovoltaic panels will be installed on the roof, which could result in Breeam Excellent certification for sustainable buildings.
The land management has been undertaken by Alondra, part of the Itercon group of companies, which has previously managed logistics developments for CBRE Investment Management in other parts of Spain. Alondra has taken on the role of delegated developer in this transaction.
