Panattoni secures largest letting in South East this year

Panattoni, the world’s largest privately owned industrial developer, has secured the letting of its 200,000 sq ft Panattoni Park Crawley development to the world’s largest e-commerce retailer on a 10-year lease.

The transaction is the largest Grade-A logistics letting in the South East this year and marks the full occupation of the scheme, which was delivered speculatively in one of the UK’s most supply-constrained logistics corridors.

Located five minutes from Gatwick Airport and Junction 10 of the M23, Panattoni Park Crawley provides immediate access to key South East population centres and international freight connectivity. The scheme was developed as two units totalling just over 200,000 sq ft, with the flexibility to combine into a single facility to meet large-scale occupier demand. The whole unit was taken by one occupier to combine both units.

The building has been delivered to a high specification, including 15 metre clear internal height, enhanced pallet capacity, and strong yard and servicing provision, alongside BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC A ratings. The scheme also incorporates roof-mounted solar PV and other sustainability features aligned with occupiers’ operational and decarbonisation requirements.

David McGougan, Development Director, South East at Panattoni, said:

“This letting underlines the depth of demand for high-quality, immediately available logistics space in the South East, particularly at scale. Panattoni Park Crawley offered a rare opportunity to secure a 200,000 sq ft facility in a prime location with direct access to Gatwick and the M23.

“The scheme was designed to meet the requirements of modern logistics occupiers, combining scale, specification, and sustainability. Securing this letting demonstrates the continued strength of the market for well-located, future-ready space.

We are pleased to have let the unit following the recent completion of the facility and continue to see space occupied by the e-commerce sector.”

The deal reflects Panattoni’s continued focus on speculative development in supply-constrained markets, delivering Grade A logistics assets aligned with long-term occupier demand.
