ARGAN Completes Innovative 9,000 sq.m Fulfillment Centre
In a significant development for the logistics sector, ARGAN has successfully completed a modern 9,000 square meter cross-dock fulfillment centre. This facility is strategically located in an important logistics hub, ready to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
A Prime Location for Logistics
This new building, situated in a well-connected region, is poised to serve a major international transport and logistics firm under a solid 12-year lease agreement. The site enjoys direct access to the A21 French highway and National Route 47, making it an optimal choice for operations focused on urban distribution and fulfillment.
Strategic Advantages
The fulfillment centre is constructed on a 7-hectare plot adjacent to another facility operated by CARREFOUR SUPPLY CHAIN. Its prime geographic position enhances its capabilities to effectively manage logistics processes, providing quick access to surrounding urban areas with substantial populations, thus catering to the increasing demand for efficient delivery systems.
Modern Facilities Designed for Efficiency
One of the standout features of this facility is its 7,400 square meter cross-dock hall, equipped with 71 loading bays designed to streamline incoming and outgoing shipments. This efficiency translates into reduced operational downtime, allowing the logistics company to meet the demands of a growing market.
To align with increasing sustainability standards, ARGAN has incorporated a 150 kWp rooftop solar power system, which will contribute to the tenant's energy needs, emphasizing the company's commitment to eco-friendly practices in its developments.
Long-Term Vision
The completion of this fulfillment centre is a testament to ARGAN's long-term focus on developing sustainable properties. The 12-year lease underscores the reliability and stability of this investment, ensuring that the facility will serve the logistics sector for years to come.
Adapting to Market Changes
Ronan Le Lan, Chairman of ARGAN’s Executive Board, noted the increasing significance of fulfillment centres in the modern logistics landscape. As e-commerce continues to grow, facilities positioned within urban settings become crucial to maintaining effective supply chains, particularly in highly populated areas like the Lille metropolitan region.

Looking ahead, ARGAN has outlined its financial calendar for 2026, which includes the publication of the fourth-quarter results for 2025 on January 5, annual results on January 22, and the General Assembly on March 26.
