Belgian logistics developer WDP announced plans to build a 32,000 sqm distribution center in its WDP Park Bucharest \u2013 \u0218tef\u0103ne\u0219ti, near the Romanian capital, for FAN Courier Group, one of Romania\u2019s leading courier and logistics operators. Construction is scheduled to begin at the start of 2026, with completion expected later the same year.<\/p>\n
The project, valued at around EUR 22 million, will be developed on WDP\u2019s land reserves in northern Bucharest. The facility will be leased to FAN Courier Group under a 10-year triple-net fixed contract.<\/p>\n
Designed to support FAN Courier\u2019s delivery operations, the new center will strengthen \u0218tef\u0103ne\u0219ti\u2019s position as a key logistics hub with direct connections to Bucharest and neighboring regions, the developer said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith this project, WDP strengthens its partnership with FAN Courier Group and expands its footprint in northern Bucharest. [\u2026] With this expansion, the first phase of the park is now fully completed, reflecting sustained demand for modern logistics space,\u201d said Jeroen Biermans, Country Manager of WDP Romania.<\/p>\n
WDP Park Bucharest \u2013 \u0218tef\u0103ne\u0219ti has become the company\u2019s largest logistics cluster in Romania, with a total leasable area exceeding 400,000 square meters. The park hosts both small units and large distribution centers for major international retailers such as Decathlon, Auchan, and LPP, as well as industrial suppliers.<\/p>\n
The new development marks the completion of the first phase of the park and positions \u0218tef\u0103ne\u0219ti, alongside WDP Park Boll\u00e8ne in France, as one of the company\u2019s largest logistics sites in Europe.<\/p>\n
WDP said it plans further expansion around Bucharest through additional land acquisitions to support future growth in line with its long-term strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Within the current park, an additional 30,000 sqm of expansion potential has already been reserved for existing clients. North of \u0218tef\u0103ne\u0219ti, WDP has started developing a new park, beginning with a 54,000 sqm project for the retail chain Action.<\/p>\n
The \u0218tef\u0103ne\u0219ti park also incorporates extensive biodiversity and sustainability features, including over 12 megawatts of solar panels, 10,000 trees, and 5,000 shrubs across a 150,000 sqm landscaped area, making it one of the largest biodiversity projects in Romania\u2019s logistics sector.<\/p>\n
