Main Streets Across the World 2024
Bucharest, July 2021: A&D Pharma, a subsidiary of Dr.Max Group, which owns the phamacy chain with the same name, has leased a warehouse of 9,000 square meters in the CTPark Sibiu project located in the western part of the city, a transaction brokered by the Cushman & Wakefield Echinox real estate consulting company.
This will be the second largest distribution hub for A&D Pharma, after the one in Bucharest, which currently has an area of over 27,000 square meters. By positioning in the proximity of the Ring Road and of the Sibiu – Arad Highway, the new warehouse will facilitate the supply chain process both for the pharmacies located in the Central and Western parts of the country and also for the distribution of online orders, a business line which is currently in full development in the Dr. Max group.
Cushman & Wakefield Echinox (CWE) provided support for A&D Pharma in analyzing the available options and choosing the solution that meets the requirements in terms of layout, customization options according to the client specifications, and negotiating the comercial terms of the transaction.
Rodica Târcavu, Partner, Industrial Agency Cushman & Wakefield Echinox: “The leased warehouse will have a fully controlled temperature for the rigorous storage of various types of medical supplies, according to the regulations in force. The high quality standards of the construction that contribute to the efficiency of the utilities consumption, as well as the CTP’s flexibility and availability to implement the thorough requirements of the tenant, contributed to the creation of a successful collaboration between the two companies. We are honored to contribute to the reinforcement of this partnership between two market leaders.”
