Multi-storey logistics: Why go up?

Multi-storey logistics facilities are innovative solutions that feature two or more levels, but they do more than just take up less land. Multi-storey warehouses and logistics facilities are an efficient way to sustainably regenerate brownfield sites. Multi-storeys give customers the opportunity to integrate different areas of their operations into a single location, and because they can be adapted to the shape of the landform, they have the ability to transform difficult terrain into key essential infrastructure. 

Addressing urban space constraints

In land-constrained urban centres, multi-storey warehouses can offer a sustainable response to the challenge of limited space. By optimising vertical space, these facilities minimise land use, providing multiples of the same floor area as single-level properties. This can ease pressure on urban environments and can reduce the footprint required for development.

Take Goodman's Molins de Rei development. Its steep slope was challenging to build on, but our experienced team optimised the site with a facility that needed 31% less land than a single level equivalent. And, like all our properties, Molins de Rei positions Goodman customers strategically close to consumers.

Last mile delivery benefits

Operational flexibility

 

The multiple levels of these spaces offer unique opportunities for businesses. They can allow for the integration of different operational areas into a single location, streamlining workflows and boosting efficiency. For growing businesses, multi-storey warehouses provide the ability to expand operations without the need to relocate, preserving the advantages of a strategic location.

Goodman’s multi-storey warehousing solutions represent a forward-thinking approach to urban logistics, combining sustainability, efficiency, and adaptability to meet the challenges of modern supply chains.
