What Panattoni does

Panattoni is the world's largest privately owned industrial real estate developer, founded by Carl Panattoni in the United States in 1986 and headquartered in London. The company develops speculative and build-to-suit logistics and warehouse facilities across 22 countries through 70 offices, with 1,100+ professionals operating in North America, the UK, Continental Europe, India, and the Middle East. Its portfolio of Panattoni Park developments spans mid-box units (under 100,000 sq ft) to large-scale distribution facilities exceeding 1 million sq ft, typically built to BREEAM Excellent/Outstanding and EPC A/A+ standards with Net Zero Carbon targets and high power capacity (up to 7.85 MVa) to support automation.

The company's revenue model combines development fees, property leasing income, asset management, and joint-venture capital structuring across the full lifecycle from land acquisition and planning through construction, leasing, and ongoing portfolio management. Panattoni sells and leases primarily through direct enterprise relationships supported by appointed commercial agents (JLL, Savills, CBRE, Knight Frank, Colliers, Cushman & Wakefield, Lambert Smith Hampton) and serves 2,500+ customers worldwide, including Amazon, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, DHL, GXO, MoD, Iron Mountain, Audi, Coca-Cola, and Kellogg's. Properties are positioned along major logistics corridors (UK M1/M4/M6) and near key ports and airports, with 30 million sq ft delivered in the UK since 2017 at a value in excess of £8 billion.

Recent strategic activity indicates active scaling: Panattoni has expanded into India (~$100M/year commitment) and Saudi Arabia, debuted a Build-to-Own model in Hyderabad, completed a flagship 545,000 sq ft MoD/NATO drone facility at the former Honda Swindon site, and grown its UK land bank through multiple brownfield acquisitions across Wakefield, Warrington, Atom Valley, and Marley Works. The business remains 100% founder-controlled with no public listing, with growth funded through JV capital, institutional co-investment, and a reported $830M capital event in September 2024.

• VGP: VGP is a Belgian-listed European industrial real estate developer operating across Germany, Czechia, Spain, and Central/Eastern Europe. It closely matches Panattoni's Central and Eastern European footprint (Czech, Polish, German parks) and developer-operator model.

Broad incumbents
