Slättö, through its logistics and light industrial platform Evolv, has broken ground on a new 14,000 square metre purpose built logistics hub for DHL Express next to Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The facility will serve as DHL Express’ new gateway for Sweden, strengthening connectivity between Swedish businesses and international markets.
Strategically located close to Stockholm Arlanda Airport and major motorway connections, the facility will provide increased sorting capacity and modern infrastructure to support DHL Express’ continued growth and the efficient movement of shipments to and from Sweden.
The project reflects growing demand for modern, location critical logistics facilities and Slättö’s selective approach to development, focused on delivering high quality assets in strong locations tailored to the operational requirements of leading occupiers.
Lars Axelsson, partner and head of logistics and light industrial at Slättö, commented: ‘DHL Express is a global leader in logistics, and we are very pleased to be developing this purpose built facility for their operations at one of Sweden’s most important logistics locations. Our approach to logistics development is highly selective, focusing on locations with strong fundamentals and clear occupier demand. This project brings together an exceptional location, a high quality facility and a long term tenant commitment, and we look forward to building a strong partnership with DHL Express.’
The new gateway is expected to become operational in 2028, with DHL Express having committed to a 15 year lease. The hub will have the capacity to sort 6000 shipments per hour and support the use of electric delivery vehicles.
Through its funds, Slättö manages a logistics and light industrial portfolio across Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, with a total lettable area of more than 500,000 square metres. The portfolio also includes around 200,000 square metres of building rights for future project development.
