Mileway, the leading pan-European last mile logistics real estate company, today announces it has agreed leases for more than 32.000 sq m of space across properties with four new customers across Northern Italy. The properties, located in the Lombardy and Bologna regions, provide excellent access to one of the most industrialised areas in Europe, connecting Mileway’s new customers to the consumers and local communities they serve.

The first property, located in Martinengo, Lombardy, is a high-quality space of over 4,800 sq m which has been secured on a long lease by the well renowned global hair and body care company Moroccan Oil. The property benefits from good access to Bergamo’s main highway, connecting the property to the European market.

The second Lombardy property in San Giuliano Milanese, is located close to Milan and the large e-commerce market in the area. This 3000 sq m property is leased to NaturaSì, one of the leading physical and online supermarkets in Italy specialising in organic and biodynamic products. The property gives Natura Si cold storage cell capacity for fresh food delivery, and will be solely used as a last-mile delivery hub to end consumers.

“I am proud that Mileway has been chosen as a partner by these businesses and it is testament to the hard work of our Italy team to deliver flexible and bespoke solutions across all of our properties that meet the needs of the customer.”
