GSE ITALIA LAYS THE FOUNDATION STONE FOR A NEW LOGISTICS WAREHOUSE IN ARLUNO FOR SAVILLS

GSE Italia has laid the first foundation pillar in Arluno for a new warehouse that will serve a leading international logistics company operating for major clients in the food and healthcare sectors.

The development phases preceding the construction project, which will cover a total area of more than 70,000 m², were managed by Confluence S.R.L., the consulting company of the GSE Group and a strategic partner supporting clients throughout every stage of property development, from land acquisition through to project coordination and administrative procedures.

The site is located in a highly strategic area due to its proximity to the A4 motorway interchange southwest of Milan and will involve the redevelopment of a brownfield site and its conversion into an operation that will generate significant economic activity within the food distribution sector.

Following the completion of remediation and site safety operations, GSE Italia laid the first foundation pillar for a project involving the construction of a warehouse of approximately 29,000 m², featuring a mezzanine of approximately 1,000 m², a gross floor area of more than 32,000 m², and approximately 3,000 m² dedicated to office space. Given the facility’s intended use, the warehouse will include more than 15,000 m² of refrigerated storage areas, including both Frozen Areas (-20°C) and Chilled Areas (0°C/+4°C), as well as a Cool Dock, requiring the installation of Thermo loading bays.

A key factor in securing the contract was the project’s sustainable approach, as it is targeting LEED Gold certification, with a potential upgrade to Platinum currently under evaluation. Among the measures adopted to reduce the building’s environmental footprint, low-carbon concrete will be used for both the foundations and the industrial floor slab in order to reduce the embodied carbon footprint of construction materials.
