Groundbreaking ceremony for new Bleizo distribution centre

Thursday, 9 July saw the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Bleizo distribution centre in Bleiswijk. In the presence of representatives of Impact Vastgoed, Mirastar, KKR and Cordeel Nederland, councillors Jan Iedema of the Municipality of Zoetermeer and Kathy Arends of the Municipality of Lansingerland performed the official act. Bleizo Logistics Centre will be operational in Q2 of 2021.

The distribution centre will comprise approximately 43,000 m² of warehouse space with 50 loading docks, 3,700 m² of mezzanine floor space and 2,700 m² for offices. Designed by Palazzo Architects, the sustainable Bleizo Logistics Centre features a strip across the full length of the façade that fans out at the end of the building and ties the offices and warehouse together. This pearly-white feature contrasts strongly with the dark wall cladding and affords the overall design a distinct, soft appearance.

The final design was structurally engineered by the in-house engineering department of Cordeel Nederland without losing sight of the unique architectural features. The result meets the sustainability requirements for BREEAM Very Good.

The arrival of Bleizo Logistics Centre underlines the strategic location of Bleizo Business Park. Close to Lansingerland-Zoetermeer railway station, next to the A12 motorway and centrally located between all major cities, the new distribution centre will be situated in the A12 corridor: the logistics hotspot in the west of the Netherlands.

At Cordeel, we make a distinction between different types of carbon emissions.

These are areas where we, as a company, can directly and relatively easily make changes and have an impact.
