A strategic boost for Southern France logistics
The port area of Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône has received a major upgrade with the delivery of COFFOS B1, a new 14,000 m² logistics platform developed by GSE for MEDIACO LOGISTIQUE (part of the MEDIACO VRAC group).
This state-of-the-art facility significantly enhances the region's logistics infrastructure, particularly for businesses seeking efficient and high-capacity storage solutions near the vital Grand Port Maritime de Marseille.
Enhanced capacity and specialized storage solutions
The COFFOS B1 project introduces two new logistics cells, meticulously designed to meet diverse operational needs. The first cell, spanning 7,600 m², seamlessly integrates with an existing 10,000 m² refrigerated warehouse, creating a comprehensive cold chain solution. The second cell, approximately 6,200 m², operates independently, offering flexible general storage.
Both new sections boast an impressive clear height of 13.50 meters, allowing for optimal vertical storage and maximum space utilization. Crucially, the facility incorporates specialized technical features, including a liquid recovery and storage system, enabling the safe storage of alcohol in one cell and precise temperature-controlled conditions in another, making it ideal for a wide range of goods from general merchandise to sensitive products.
Commitment to sustainable industrial real estate
Sustainability is at the core of the COFFOS B1 development. The project has achieved a BREEAM Excellent certification, underscoring its commitment to environmental performance.
Key sustainable features include a rainwater harvesting system for irrigation, LED lighting with motion detection for energy efficiency, and a centralized technical building management (GTB) system to optimize energy consumption.
Furthermore, the rooftop is equipped with a photovoltaic power plant, designed for self-consumption, significantly reducing the facility's carbon footprint and operational costs for tenants concerned with environmental impact.
GSE: a trusted partner in logistics infrastructure
The delivery of COFFOS B1 is a testament to the long-standing and successful partnership between GSE and MEDIACO LOGISTIQUE, which spans over seven years.
During this period, GSE has developed more than 100,000 m² of logistics infrastructure for the company, demonstrating its deep expertise and reliability in delivering complex industrial projects while ensuring operational continuity for its clients.
This consistent track record positions GSE as a premier partner for businesses looking to develop or expand their logistics footprint with custom-engineered, high-performance facilities.
Designing for operational excellence and visual cohesion
Designed by the renowned XXL Atelier architectural agency, the facility not only excels in functionality but also presents a strong architectural identity.
The facades are adorned with MEDIACO VRAC's corporate colors, ensuring visual coherence with existing buildings and reinforcing the site's brand presence.
This thoughtful design approach combines aesthetic appeal with operational efficiency, creating a modern and identifiable logistics hub.
