Belgian company WDP has signed an agreement to develop and lease a 77,000 sq m logistics warehouse space for retailer Auchan, with an investment budget of about 45 million euros. 
After a first collaboration in Luxembourg between WDP and the French group Auchan, the Belgian company will develop a new storage facility in the existing WDP location in Bucharest -Stefanestii de Jos. The new buildings, with a surface area of about 77,000 square meters, will consist partly of a temperature controlled area and will be leased by Auchan for a period of seven years.
