Garbe lays the foundation stone for the 102,000 m2 logistics park in Tortona

Green light for the laying of the foundation stone, by Garbe Industrial Real Estate Italy, for the new logistics hub in Tortona. The project, of which Garbe is the sponsor and developer, will rise on an area of 265 thousand square metres already equipped with all the necessary permits, destined for the construction of a logistics complex of 102 thousand square metres in a single logistic plate, organised in three autonomous compartments with the aim of guaranteeing maximum flexibility of the property in a mono-tenant or multi-tenant perspective.

The building - which will be one of the largest along the Genoa-Milan axis - is located in a strategic position, a few kilometres from the Genoa interport and with direct access to the A7 motorway, allowing fast connections to the main markets in northern Italy and facilitating integration with Genoa's port and railway system, meeting the growing needs of the modern supply chain.

The general contractor Gse, part of the Goldbeck Group and European leader in construction for the logistics and industrial sectors, has already taken possession of the area and started site operations as of November 2024. For the construction management and the technical and administrative support of the order, Garbe relies on Sfre Service for Real Estate, which specialises in the technical supervision and coordination of construction activities, while Cbre takes care of the project management, guaranteeing efficiency and adherence to the timeline in all operational and project phases.

The project, with a development plan started at the end of 2024 and scheduled for completion in May 2026, aims to obtain Leed Platinum certification, the highest recognition in terms of sustainability, as is standard practice for all Garbe logistics developments in Italy. The building will be highly technological and high-performance, without renouncing attention to the environment and sustainability through the use of recycled materials, the direct production of green energy thanks to the photovoltaic system on the roof, and the choice of design and construction solutions aimed at guaranteeing energy efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint.

"For Garbe, every new development represents an opportunity to combine economic growth and environmental responsibility,' said Marco Grassidonio, Country Head Italy of Garbe Industrial Real Estate. The Tortona pole, which is aiming for Leed Platinum certification, confirms our long-term vision, in which sustainability, innovation and enhancement of the territory are essential elements. Thanks to this project, we reaffirm Garbe's role as a partner of excellence for clients and investors, able to offer state-of-the-art logistics infrastructures and contribute to the development of local communities'.
