City logistics projects – a new concept by Global Vision contributing to the growth of local communities

City logistics projects are a niche concept that responds to the challenges faced by logistics companies: interruptions in the supply chain process due to location shortcomings, and efficiency of distribution in the city area.

One of the advantages of these last mile projects is the significant costs optimization in the last leg of the supply chain, the delivery to the end users. Strategically located in the proximity of the cities, these projects facilitate efficient in-city distribution as on-line delivery grows exponentially. Through their projects, Global Vision seek to follow several guidelines to assist the tenants in optimizing their operations and maintain competitivity.

Mureș City Logistics, the first A class logistics park in Târgu Mureș, is the first project from a series of city logistics parks to be developed by Global Vision in locations such as Chitila, Otopeni, Iași, Cluj-Napoca, Craiova. Chitila City Logistics, Otopeni City Logistics, Iași City Logistics and Oradea City Logistics are some of the projects which will be implemented in the next period.

Mureș City Logistics is a modern state-of-the art warehousing option for customers active in logistics and light industrial sectors, with possibility to develop up to 16,500 sqm warehouse space and technical areas in a single roof unit. Furthermore, it is a market growth milestone for the entire region, being the first A class project developed in the Târgu Mureș area. The park is located in a strategic area, right on the outskirts of Targu Mures city, providing exceptional connection to the major national and international transport corridors. Due to the nearby access to the A3 and to the existing road infrastructure, the location provides ideal connection options with the west, the center of the country, and the Capital city.

Proximity to the city ensures access to human resources and to public transportation (nearby railway and bus stations). Providing office and administration areas internally located is another essential feature not only for Mureș City Logistics, but also for the entire series of city logistics parks.

Flexibility, adaptability, and sustainability

The large single roof unit Mureș City Logistics can accommodate a single tenant or a mixture of users in separated sealed compartments of minimum 1,500 sq.m, each benefitting from necessary commodities – dedicated car and truck parking, equal loading bays ration, metered utilities consumption and secured premises.

Specific to these projects are mixed functions which are dedicated to various industries such as: logistics, warehousing and in-city distribution for general goods, electronics, sports, fashion, furniture, light production – assembly, or pharma, pet foods, drugs due to temperature and humidity-controlled environment.

In terms of sustainability, the projects developed by Global Vision, enable such as: roof mounted solar panels, dedicated areas for electrical vehicle charging, smart metering systems, LED lighting with light sensors and motion detection, high quality roof and façade insulation, water consumption control and monitoring/water saving sanitation products, rainwater collection system and targeted BREEAM certification Excellent.

Global Vision has acquired plots of land which provide a development potential of over 150,000 sqm. For 2022, Global Vision estimates the delivery of over 100,000 square meters of industrial and logistics spaces, in Bucharest and across the country, in strategic locations, well-connected by road and rail, as well as by air and sea.
