AKNO GROUP AND BARCELLA ELETTROFORNITURE: NEW LOGISTICS REAL ESTATE HUB WORTH OVER €50 MILLION IN CAROBBIO DEGLI ANGELI
The logistics real estate sector continues to be one of the main growth drivers of the Italian property market. Increasing supply chain complexity, evolving distribution models and the need for greater operational efficiency are prompting more and more companies to invest in next-generation logistics infrastructure designed to support long-term growth.
Against this backdrop, AKNO Group and Barcella Elettroforniture have signed an agreement for the development of a major logistics hub in Carobbio degli Angeli, in the province of Bergamo. The project confirms how the quality of logistics real estate assets has become a strategic factor for business competitiveness and for the evolution of the specialised distribution sector.
A NEW LOGISTICS HUB TO SUPPORT BARCELLA ELETTROFORNITURE’S GROWTH
The project involves the development of a new logistics platform on a site covering approximately 85,000 sqm.
The facility will feature an initial gross built area of more than 46,000 sqm, complemented by approximately 6,000 sqm of mezzanine space and the possibility of further future expansion. The overall investment exceeds €50 million.
The project has been designed to support the continued growth of Barcella Elettroforniture, a leading distributor of electrical and plumbing supplies, by providing a modern, efficient and scalable infrastructure capable of serving its branches across Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna.
The new facility is designed to meet the requirements of an increasingly fast, integrated and service-oriented distribution model, ensuring high standards in operational flow management, increased storage capacity and significant operational flexibility.
THE EVOLUTION OF LOGISTICS REAL ESTATE IN ITALY
Over the past decade, logistics real estate has become increasingly central to corporate growth strategies.
Logistics is no longer considered a simple support function for manufacturing and commercial activities. Instead, it has become a strategic asset capable of directly influencing customer service quality, delivery times and overall supply chain efficiency.
As a result, occupiers are increasingly seeking high-performance logistics facilities designed to integrate advanced technologies, automation systems, enhanced storage capacity and optimised operational processes.
At the same time, demand continues to grow for assets capable of adapting rapidly to market evolution. Flexibility, modularity and expansion potential have become essential characteristics for any new logistics development.
The investment in Carobbio degli Angeli perfectly reflects this transformation, offering an infrastructure model designed to support the future growth of the occupier while responding to the evolving needs of a rapidly changing market.
LOGISTICS INFRASTRUCTURE, SUSTAINABILITY AND VALUE CREATION
The new generation of logistics hubs is no longer assessed solely on the basis of location or available floor space.
Today, an asset’s value increasingly depends on its ability to deliver:
- Energy efficiency
- Reduced consumption
- Environmental sustainability
- Optimised operational flows
- Technological integration
- Long-term adaptability
The competitiveness of modern supply chains is closely linked to the quality of the infrastructure supporting them.
For this reason, new industrial real estate developments are increasingly designed according to criteria that combine operational performance and sustainability, creating value for both occupiers and investors.
In the case of the Carobbio degli Angeli project, particular attention will be given to technological innovation, efficient space management and the possibility of phased future expansion aligned with business growth requirements.
This approach reflects a broader trend across the European property market, where logistics assets are increasingly recognised as strategic infrastructure for economic development.
