JYSK – Lelystad

Project description:

 

One of the largest and most modern distribution centers in the Benelux is being built in Lelystad. JYSK is constructing approximately160,000 m² offuture-proof logistics real estate here to support its European supply chain.

 

From the very beginning,CONRATOhas been actively involved as a strategic advisor and delegated project manager. We are assisting JYSK's senior management and the project team with this large-scale investment and are playing an integral role throughout the entire process.

 

From location selection to comprehensive implementation

Our involvement began with assessing and comparing potential locations inthe Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Once the final location had been chosen, our role expanded to include full, integrated involvement.

 

This early and continuous involvement enabled us to:

  • to achieve smarter and better thought-out solutions;
  • achieve significant cost reductions;
  • accelerate the project;
  • to optimize cooperation between all parties involved;
  • to increase the quality and future-proofing of the end result.

 

In short: "maximum added value for the client."

 

High-quality logistics infrastructure

The distribution center consists of, among other things:

  • high-bay warehouses with a height of up to46 meters;
  • multiple-story logistics functions;
  • advancedMaterial Handling Systems;
  • High-quality fire safety provisions in accordance withVdS standards;
  • various technical rooms and office functions.

 

In close collaboration with JYSK and architect NAB, CONRATO ensured optimal positioning of the building on the plot and an efficient, future-oriented design. This guarantees JYSK a robust and scalable logistics operation and a high-quality working environment for its employees.

 

Sustainable, reliable, and "Built to Suit"

During the design and construction phases, particular attention was paid to integrating the project into the landscape and implementing various sustainability measures. TheLEED sustainability methodologyserved as a guiding principle in this regard.

The project was realized as abuilt-to-suitdevelopment and is distinguished by its maximum focus on operational reliability and future-proofing. Various critical systems have been designed with redundancy, and the requirements exceed the usual standards within the logistics real estate sector.
