32,000 m² development in Bucharest marks the completion of first phase in WDP’s largest park

The investment of around 22 million euros will be realised by deploying WDP’s landbank in North Bucharest, with an expected yield in line with WDP’s objectives. Construction will begin in early 2026, with delivery scheduled later that year. The site will be leased on a long-term basis under a fixed 10-year triple-net contract. Designed to support the client’s parcel operations, the new facility will further consolidate Ștefănești’s role as a major logistics hub with direct links to the capital and surrounding regions.

"With this project, WDP strengthens its relationship with FAN Courier Group and expands its presence in North Bucharest. The development is fully aligned with WDP’s cluster strategy and benefits from an optimal location and excellent connectivity. With this expansion, the first phase of the park is now fully built-out, underlining the sustained demand for modern logistics space", says Jeroen Biermans – Country Manager Romania.

Cluster development in Romania: Ștefănești as a logistics hub for the local economy

With more than 400,000 m² of lettable area, WDP Park Bucharest – Ștefănești has grown in less than a decade into the largest cluster in the WDP portfolio. The park offers small units and big box distribution centres, anchored by a diversified client base in resilient sectors, including international retailers such as Decathlon, Auchan and LPP, alongside industrial suppliers.

The new parcel project concludes the first development phase and positions Ștefănești, alongside WDP Park Bollène (France)1, as one of the largest parks in the portfolio. WDP is now focusing on further cluster expansion around Bucharest with new land. The strategic land reserves provide the foundation for future extensions and sustainable growth, fully in line with WDP’s long-term strategy. Within the current WDP Park Bucharest – Ștefănești, an additional 30,000 m² of expansion potential has been earmarked for existing clients. North of this park, the development of a new park has started, with a first project of approximately 54,000 m² for Action.

Biodiversity and sustainability integrated into logistics infrastructure

Ștefănești is more than just a logistics hub. The park not only accommodates leading companies but also serves as a benchmark for biodiversity and sustainability. Fully integrated into its environment, it features Romania’s largest biodiversity project, with more than 12 MWp of solar panels, 10,000 trees and 5,000 shrubs covering more than 150,000 m².

WDP develops and invests in logistics real estate (warehouses and offices). WDP’s property portfolio comprises more than 8 million m². This international portfolio of semi-industrial and logistics buildings is spread over more than 350 sites at prime logistics locations for storage and distribution in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, Germany and Romania.

WDP Romania has a strong presence in the local market, with a portfolio of nearly 2 million m². The company’s industrial parks are located across the country in all major urban areas — Bucharest, Timișoara, Pitești, Arad, Cluj, Brașov, Sibiu, Brăila, Deva, Constanța, Râmnicu Vâlcea, and Ploiești. WDP Romania is a market leader in the development of built-to-suit buildings and in providing customized solutions for companies from various sectors, including manufacturing, retail, pharmaceuticals, and logistics.
