THE REBIRTH OF ROME'S LOGISTICS HUB
A vast area of former marshland on the outskirts of Rome is home today to one of the largest logistics warehouses in Italy. The warehouse, known as C1L1, boasts a size of 62,000 sq m, equivalent of over ten football pitches.
Logicor, the leading European logistics real estate owner and advisor, has brought the facility back to life. C1L1 is the largest warehouse in the Interporto di Roma Fiumicino, a 1.6 million sq m logistics project located 30 km west of Rome and less than 10 km from the Fiumicino airport.
In order to bring C1L1 back to the market, Logicor used innovative building techniques, applied on as unprecedent scale.
Background
Quando Logicor ha acquisito il C1L1, il magazzino era in uno stato di degrado. Il pavimento era sprofondato di 50-60 cm sotto il livello originale, costringendo gli utilizzatori del magazzino ad andarsene. Il cedimento del suolo aveva interessato tutta l'area dell'interporto, rendendo le strutture non sicure e lasciando quindi la città senza il polo logistico di cui aveva bisogno. Restaurando e trasformando il C1L1 in un edificio moderno, Logicor ha aperto nuove strade al mercato logistico di Roma. Scarica il testo completo
Solution
Logicor used innovative building techniques, applied on an unprecedent scale. The solution had been done before, but never before in a logistics warehouse of this scale. In order to stabilise the floor, a grand total of 1,200, 40-metre deep concrete piles were bored into the ground underneath the warehouse.
Result
The high quality of the warehouse after the refurbishment work explains how Logicor managed to fully lease the space in just six months. The warehouse was subdivided into four units, allowing several companies to benefit from the restored building. Each of the four tenants made long-term commitments, with leases ranging from 6 to 9 years.
'Such long lease contracts are surely indicative of the success of the operation. While long leases are not unusual in logistics, in this case they show that the market has renewed confidence in this asset.' - M.Cortellezzi - Kryalos SGR
