Panattoni, the world’s largest privately owned industrial real estate developer, has reached full occupation at Panattoni Park J28 Central M1, marking another milestone along one of the UK’s most important logistics corridors.
Panattoni Park J28 Central M1 has established itself as a prime logistics location, benefiting from direct access to the M1 and strong connectivity to national distribution networks. The park has attracted a broad range of occupiers, reflecting the diversity of demand along the corridor. Tenants include a Chinese 3PL operator alongside its newest occupier, a pharmaceutical supply chain specialist, underlining the flexibility and attractiveness of the location.
The final unit at the park has now been let to Alloga, a specialist pharmaceutical logistics provider, further strengthening the occupier mix and completing the leasing of the scheme. This marks Panattoni’s second building delivered to Alloga, which is a part of Cencora. Together with occupiers such as Super Smart Services, the park demonstrates the continued appeal of high-quality, well-located Grade A logistics space, even as market dynamics evolve.
The letting also reflects a broader rise in pharmaceutical occupiers taking space across the UK and Europe. Increasing regulatory requirements, more complex temperature-controlled supply chains and the need for GDP- and GMP-compliant facilities are driving demand for highly specified logistics real estate.
Panattoni’s expanding pharmaceutical client base mirrors this structural shift. Most recently in Germany, Panattoni delivered a highly specialised, GDP- and GMP-compliant facility with climate-controlled zones (15–25°C), WGK III areas and advanced digital monitoring systems for a leading pharmaceutical logistics provider, demonstrating the company’s ability to combine regulatory precision, technological scalability and sustainable design.
In Poland, Grupa Olmed, which is rapidly expanding its network of stationary and online pharmacies has leased 9,500 sqm at City Logistics Łódź VI on Dostawcza Street, with the space tailored to support fast-growing e-commerce operations through automation and a mezzanine to increase usable capacity. The customer is set to commence operations in the new facility this quarter.
Andy Preston, Senior Development Director at Panattoni, said: “Reaching full occupation at Panattoni Park J28 is a significant milestone and reflects what we are seeing across the Midlands and nationally, as occupiers look to secure Grade A, sustainable accommodation in strategically important locations.
It’s particularly great to be completing another deal with Alloga and to be working with them again to support the expansion of their pharmaceutical logistics operations. The M1 corridor continues to perform strongly, attracting a wide range of occupiers from e-commerce to pharmaceuticals. We remain actively focused on securing further prime opportunities along the corridor, where we can deliver Grade A buildings that meet occupier needs.”
Panattoni continues to seek opportunities across the M1 corridor and other core UK logistics markets, deploying capital to deliver future-ready logistics infrastructure that supports resilient supply chains and long-term economic growth.
Across the region, Panattoni has recently acquired a development site in Worksop, which is set to deliver 462,000 sq ft speculative building, as well as a site in Northampton West with the potential for 1 million sq ft of speculative development.
The leasing agents on Panattoni Park J28 Central M1 is FHP, CBRE and Apex. Savills advised Alloga on the lease.
