New state-of-the-art logistics & office facility underway in Chaniers
Businesses seeking prime commercial real estate in a strategic location should take note: GSE, a leading general contractor in corporate real estate, has commenced construction of a significant new logistics complex in Chaniers, Charente-Maritime. Slated for delivery in September 2026, this modern facility is being developed for Sicaap, the central purchasing unit of the InVivo group, but its features set a new benchmark for businesses looking to optimize their distribution and operational headquarters.
Strategic location for enhanced distribution
Nestled in the heart of Charente-Maritime, the Chaniers site offers an advantageous position for logistics and distribution operations. Collaborating closely with local authorities including the Chaniers town hall and Saintes Grandes Rives l’Agglo, GSE is ensuring this development integrates seamlessly into the regional infrastructure, providing businesses with excellent connectivity and accessibility for their supply chain needs.
Modern design and extensive capacity for growing businesses
Spanning a generous plot of 42,400 m², the new complex is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern logistics. It will encompass over 9,000 m² of advanced warehouse space and an additional 500 m² dedicated to contemporary offices and social areas. The architectural design, entrusted to Apside Architecture, ensures a last-generation facility that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Key features include fifteen heavy goods vehicle (HGV) docks, alongside dedicated zones for reception, storage, order preparation, and shipping, streamlining multi-product distribution activities across sectors like agriculture, gardening, DIY, leisure, textiles, and both animal and human food.
Integrated office space for operational headquarters
Beyond its substantial warehousing capabilities, the complex will also house the headquarters of Sicaap within its 500 m² of office and social spaces. This integrated design offers businesses the unique advantage of consolidating their operational and administrative functions under one roof, fostering efficiency and collaboration.
Sustainable features and future expansion potential
This development stands out for its commitment to sustainability and future growth. The building is designed to comply with ICPE regulations, ensuring high environmental and safety standards. A significant 5,400 m² photovoltaic power plant, boasting an installed capacity of 999 kWc, will contribute to energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. Furthermore, sustainable water management is ensured through a retention basin and adapted landscaping. Crucially, the site is dimensioned to allow for eventual future extension, providing businesses with the flexibility to scale their operations as they grow without needing to relocate.
With its strategic location, state-of-the-art design, extensive capacity, and robust sustainable features, GSE's new logistics and office complex in Chaniers represents a premier opportunity for businesses seeking to establish or expand their presence in the Charente-Maritime region. This facility promises to be a catalyst for operational excellence and long-term growth.
