The project is set within a highly strategic territorial context, characterized by the presence of major infrastructure corridors and a growing demand for modern and flexible logistics spaces.

With a total surface area of over 107,000 square meters, the new Business Park provides a concrete response to the needs of logistics operators, distribution companies and industrial players requiring efficient, sustainable infrastructures fully integrated into Northern Italy’s transport network.

The project confirms AKNO Group’s role as one of the leading real estate developers specialized in the logistics sector, capable of delivering cutting-edge infrastructures designed to support the evolution of supply chains and distribution activities.

A LOGISTICS PROJECT OF OVER 107,500 SQM

SIZE AND TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE NEW BUSINESS PARK

The new Business Park in Fiorenzuola d’Arda extends over a total gross surface area of more than 107,500 sqm, positioning itself as one of the most important next-generation logistics hubs in the southern Po Valley.

The entire complex is designed according to the highest technical standards required by today’s logistics market, ensuring high performance in terms of operations, efficiency and flexibility.

Among the main technical features of the project:

• Floor load capacity: 7 tons per square meter

• Clear height: 13.70 meters

• 95 loading docks for high-intensity logistics operations

• 9 access ramps

• 35-meter truck maneuvering area

• 38 truck parking bays

These features make the Business Park perfectly suited to host national and international logistics operators, e-commerce companies, distributors and industrial businesses requiring high-performance logistics spaces.

The high construction quality and strong focus on operational design ensure maximum efficiency in logistics flows, reducing handling times and optimizing loading and unloading activities.

MODULAR LOGISTICS: UP TO 9 INDEPENDENT UNITS

One of the distinctive elements of the project is its modular configuration, designed to offer maximum flexibility to operators.

The Business Park is designed to be divided into up to 9 independent units, allowing companies of different sizes and operational needs to establish their presence.

This solution makes it possible to adapt spaces to specific user requirements, offering:

• flexible logistics modules

• customizable spaces

• adaptability for small, medium and large operators

Modularity is now one of the most sought-after features in the modern logistics market, where the ability to quickly adapt to supply chain needs is essential to maintain competitiveness and growth.

Thanks to this configuration, the new Business Park will be able to host multiple logistics operators simultaneously, creating a true multifunctional logistics hub.

ENERGY SUSTAINABILITY AND ELECTRIC MOBILITY

AKNO Group, thanks to the AKNO Energy division, integrates a strong focus on environmental sustainability and energy efficiency into its projects, elements that are increasingly central in the development of next-generation logistics infrastructures.

The AKNO Fiorenzuola Business Park will be equipped with a photovoltaic system with a total capacity of 10 MWh, significantly contributing to renewable energy production for the complex, and will achieve BREEAM certification.

This approach reduces the environmental impact of the infrastructure and improves the energy efficiency of the buildings, contributing to the sustainability goals required by companies operating in logistics and distribution.

Sustainable mobility is also an integral part of the project.

The Business Park includes:

• 607 total parking spaces

• 18 electric vehicle charging stations

• 9 parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities

The integration of electric mobility infrastructure represents a further step toward the creation of increasingly sustainable and future-oriented logistics hubs.

A STRATEGIC LOCATION FOR NORTHERN ITALY LOGISTICS

One of the key strengths of the new Business Park is undoubtedly its extremely strategic geographical location.

Fiorenzuola d’Arda lies at the heart of one of Italy’s main logistics corridors, along the axis connecting Milan, Piacenza and Bologna.

The site is located:

• just 1 km from the A1 motorway

• 19 km from Piacenza

• 67 km from Milan

• 121 km from Bologna

Additional key infrastructures include:

• E70 at 14 km

• E33 at 29 km

This infrastructure network ensures fast and direct access to Northern Italy’s main markets, facilitating both national and international distribution operations.

The location also allows optimization of logistics routes towards:

• Lombardy

• Emilia-Romagna

• Piedmont

• Veneto

• major European corridors

For companies operating in logistics and distribution, the Business Park’s location therefore represents a concrete competitive advantage, improving supply chain efficiency.
