Scannell Properties starts construction on 60,800 sq m, BREEAM Outstanding, build-to-suit logistics centre for Action in Tarragona

Scannell Properties has started work on a new logistics facility for European discount non-food retailer, Action.  Situated on a site of 104,000 sq m, with a GLA of 60,800 sq m, Logistics Park Banyeres will be the largest build-to-suit development in Catalonia this year. 

In line with Action and Scannell’s commitment to sustainability, the warehouse will be targeting the highest international accreditation of BREEAM Outstanding.  At present only three warehouses in Spain have been awarded this leading international accreditation and Logistics Park Banyeres will be Scannell’s first in Spain.  The development, which will repurpose all demolished building materials from the site, will include:  a Building Management System (BMS) to optimise operational efficiency, a 600Kw photo voltaic array, rainwater harvesting, asphalt from recycled tyres, green roofing to the office (Sedum) and electric charging stations for cars and trucks. 

Further features include six ground-level access doors, a large manoeuvring yard, 49 loading docks, ancillary office space comprising 2,545 sq m and separate access for light and heavy vehicles.   

Strategically located in Banyeres del Penedès, the new site benefits from a prime position on the Mediterranean Corridor, providing excellent access to major motorways like the AP-7 and AP-2, and proximity to the key logistics hubs of the Port of Barcelona and Barcelona Airport, with the City of Barcelona only one hour’s drivetime away.  

“DC Banyeres offers us a great central location for the distribution of Action’s growing store network in the region” explains Jens Burgers, Director of Supply Chain of Action. “I am also very proud this distribution centre will be built to the highest standards in terms of sustainability. Every aspect of the facility, from construction materials to installed equipment, has been sustainably designed for ecological and environmentally friendly operations.” 

Javier Inchauspe, director general of Scannell Properties in Spain and Portugal added: "The Catalonian region of northern Spain has always proved popular with retailers, their 3PLs and other logistics providers.  However, finding sites suitable for larger, logistics developments has been notoriously difficult, not least because of the geographic topography of the region.  Working closely with the municipality and Mayor Benach i Miquel, we are delighted to have found a unique solution for Action, one which provides a sustainable, efficient, well-located platform to best service their growing operations.”   

Amadeu Benach i Miquel, Mayor of Banyeres del Penedès, emphasized the value of this new investment in the municipality and highlighted that "This Scannell Properties project is, for Banyeres, the continuation of a commitment we started many years ago to industrialise the municipality, create industrial land and generate employment, wealth, and economic activity. The arrival of Action will allow us to create new qualified jobs in the logistics sector that residents of the region can take advantage of." 

The project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2026 and Itercon has been appointed as general contractor.
