ARGAN is confirming the good momentum of its development pipeline as company has launched the construction of a new Aut0nom® site, this time in Brittany. ARGAN has started the works for this future logistics site in the municipality of Bain-de-Bretagne, a few kilometres at the South of Rennes. Located on the Rennes-Nantes axis, Bain-de-Bretagne benefits from an ideal location for transport and logistics businesses.

This new project is underway on a piece of land neighbouring another ARGAN warehouse of 12,000 sq.m rented to CARREFOUR. The future site will welcome the teams of DIMOLOG, a new brand of the DIMOTRANS group that combines the know-how and the manufacturing tools of its three subsidiaries: BSL ? BRETAGNE SERVICES LOGISTIQUES, DUHAMEL LOGISTIQUE and DIMOTRANS LOGISTICS.

The DIMOLOG counts 900 employees and 30 warehouses. With DIMOLOG, the site will also shelter the growing e-logistics business, thus strengthening the company?s network in the Rennes area, where it already has a strong footprint. This new tool will ?

in particular ? enable the company to help its clients grow. The new logistics platform will be made of three cells for storage representing around 19,000 sq.m, including one that will be used to store flammable liquid.

These will be complemented with office blocks of 1,000 sq.m. This Premium site will be Aut0nom®-labelled, i.e., The Net-Zero ?in-use? warehouse. Compared to a standard warehouse, CO2 emissions are reduced by 90%.

Regarding residual emissions, these will be compensated by an ambitious reforestation plan to be deployed in France. The upcoming logistics platform will target a BREEAM Very Good label. The site?s delivery is expected for the beginning of 2025.

The land piece provides room for an additional future expansion for 12,000 sq.m of buildable area as part of a second phase, which is currently being marketed with all administrative authorizations being already delivered. The A26 consultancy is involved on architectural aspects and IDEC operates construction works as part of a property development agreement (French CPI).
