A strategic location

Built on a 7-hectare area adjacent to a site owned by ARGAN and operated by CARREFOUR SUPPLY CHAIN, this new platform enjoys a prime geographic position, close to Lens and directly connected to the A21 French highway and National Route 47 towards Lille. These assets make it an ideal location for fulfillment-centre activities and urban distribution activities.

A modern, efficient, and sustainable building

The completed facility includes a 7,400 sq.m cross-dock hall equipped with 71 loading bays, allowing smooth circulation of incoming and outgoing flows. The site also features a two-story office space covering 1,200 sq.m.

In line with its commitment to reducing the energy footprint of its properties, ARGAN has installed a 150 kWp rooftop solar power plant designed to supply part of the tenant’s electricity needs through self-consumption.

A long-term commitment

The site now hosts the teams of a major transport and logistics player already well established in the region. ARGAN and its tenant have entered into a firm 12-year lease agreement, demonstrating the long-term sustainability of this development.

A facility aligned with market needs

Ronan Le Lan, Chairman of ARGAN’s Executive Board: “With the rise of e-commerce, fulfillment centres now play a key role in the logistics chain. This new 9,000 sq.m development, ideally located in the heart of an urban area with over 250,000 inhabitants and in close proximity to the Lille metropolitan area, is perfectly aligned with current market needs.”
