Lion's Head Investments has secured the building permit for its first logistics park in Romania. The company will invest €65 million in the industrial project located in Popești-Leordeni, near Bucharest, for which construction is slated to start in Q3 2025.

The Lion's Head Logistics Park will offer flexible spaces, with units ranging from 1,500 sqm to 20,000 sqm, spread across a total built-up area of approximately 85,000 sqm. The three buildings will be specifically designed for storage and logistics activities.

The park will be located between the DNCB (the existing ring road) and A0 (Bucharest's new ring road), also being close to the A2 motorway.

"The logistics market in Romania has exceptional potential, and we are fully committed to contributing to its development,” stated Alina Necula, Country Manager Romania for Lion's Head Investments.

Lion's Head, a joint venture between AG Capital and Old Mutual Property, manages a property portfolio valued at over €440 million, which includes the Oregon Park office complex in Bucharest.

In 2024, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group, invested €150 million to support the company's logistics developments in Romania and Bulgaria.
