The Rossmann drugstore chain has begun the system technology development of its new headquarters, after the developer, Panattoni Hungary, and the owner, OTP Real Estate Investment Fund, handed over the facility in early access. The nearly 20 billion forint investment, which is one of the largest build-to-suit agreements of 2023, reached this readiness in just 11 months. The construction of the nearly 4,000 square meter, 3-story semi-automatic warehouse technology in the 28,000 square meter warehouse hall is already in full swing. The entire investment and the related 4,000 square meter modern office building are expected to be fully handed over by the third quarter of 2025.

Part of the facility, which is unique in the Hungarian retail sector, was handed over in November 2024, opening the way for the installation of the Pick-up Tower technology. The special industrial floor that enables the development of high-tech logistics systems was also completed at that time. Although the works are still ongoing, the early access handover allows Rossmann to start building unique solutions in warehousing, such as conveyor, PickByLight and Voice picking systems.

“This project was an extremely complex task and we consider it an outstanding achievement that the investment reached its current phase within the set deadlines, enabling Rossmann to start installing the technological systems. This cooperation is a good example of Panattoni Hungary’s unique market position: our build-to-suit projects are not just developments, but also serious investment transactions, which are particularly valuable in the current subdued market environment,”

– said László Kemenes, Managing Director of Panattoni Hungary.
