Maersk’s largest unit on the site will be the first net zero carbon logistics building in Ireland. Through the use of a variety of sustainability initiatives, including a glue-laminated timber structural frame and cross-laminated timber roof structure, IPUT said that Unit 4 would set the “standard in Ireland for the future of sustainable logistics development”.
IPUT chief executive Niall Gaffney said: “Our ambition for Quantum Logistics Park was to set a new sustainability standard for logistics in Ireland and attract global occupiers to our developments. We have experienced strong demand for all four units and are pleased to have pre-let the entire park welcoming DHL, Harvey Norman and Maersk to Quantum.
As we continue to build out our logistics portfolio, we will continue to push the standard in the Irish market, combining quality design, active placemaking and environmental performance.”
Simon Smith, country manager at Maersk Ireland, added: “This is a really important next step for Maersk in the Irish market which allows us to add significant capabilities for our customers, as we continue to offer integrated end-to-end solutions for their supply chains.
“It is also with great pride that sustainability will sit at the forefront of these facilities. For Maersk to be partnering on the first ever Glulam timber-framed facility to be built in this part of Europe, gives a strong signal of our commitment to our carbon zero goal.”
