The rapid transformation of the global economy toward a digital model is reshaping the role of traditional industrial parks. Increasingly, they are evolving into multifunctional technology and logistics hubs. The integration of digital infrastructure—particularly data centers, advanced telecommunications systems, and e-commerce solutions—has become a key factor in the competitiveness of modern industrial developments. Projects delivered by DL Invest Group, such as DL Invest Park Platan and DL Invest Park Bielsko-Biała, provide strong examples of this trend in practice.
The Modern Industrial Park as a Digital Ecosystem
Contemporary industrial parks are no longer limited to manufacturing and warehousing functions. Instead, they are becoming integrated environments that combine logistics, production, services, and digital infrastructure. Key components include:
- access to high-capacity power supply and telecommunications infrastructure,
- the presence of data centers and cloud services,
- flexible formats such as Small Business Units (SBU),
- integration with e-commerce supply chains.
This approach enables the creation of so-called “smart industrial parks,” aligned with the principles of Industry 4.0.
DL Invest Park Platan – Synergy Between Logistics and Data Infrastructure
DL Invest Park Platan in Warsaw is an example of a development where logistics functions are directly integrated with digital infrastructure. The complex offers more than 55,000 sqm of space and is fully leased, ensuring operational stability.
A key feature of this investment is a Tier III data center operated by Equinix, providing a high level of reliability and availability of IT services. This is critical for companies relying on cloud-based solutions and real-time data processing.
The integration of a data center with logistics and office space enables:
- reduced data transmission and processing times,
- increased security of digital operations,
- strong support for technology and e-commerce companies.
As a result, DL Invest Park Platan operates as a modern hub that connects physical and digital economic flows.
DL Invest Park Bielsko-Biała – Next-Generation Industrial Infrastructure
An even more comprehensive example is DL Invest Park Bielsko-Biała—one of the largest industrial and logistics developments in Poland, with a total area exceeding 270,000 sqm.
The complex stands out due to its advanced technical infrastructure, including:
- a high-capacity power substation (approx. 82 MW),
- full utility coverage (electricity, gas, telecommunications),
- dedicated transport infrastructure, including rail access.
The park has been designed to support modern production and logistics processes, including the fast-growing e-commerce sector. Importantly, the site is also being developed with digital infrastructure in mind. A large-scale data center project is planned on this post-industrial site, with a target capacity of up to 200 MW.
This demonstrates that:
- traditional industrial areas can be effectively transformed into digital hubs,
- energy and logistics infrastructure form the backbone for data center development,
- the convergence of industry and IT creates new technological and investment opportunities.
The Role of Technology Partnerships – The Boosteroid Example
A significant step in further integrating digital infrastructure into industrial parks is DL Invest Group’s partnership with Boosteroid, a provider of cloud and cloud gaming services based on high-performance GPU infrastructure.
This collaboration takes the form of a joint venture aimed at developing a network of modern data centers across Europe. The partnership combines DL Invest Group’s expertise in real estate development and infrastructure with Boosteroid’s operational know-how in managing large-scale IT environments, particularly in areas such as:
- artificial intelligence (AI),
- high-performance computing (HPC),
- real-time data processing,
- edge computing services.
In this context, the planned data center in Bielsko-Biała may serve as one of the key nodes within this network, further strengthening the park’s role as a digital hub.
Importance for the Economy and Investors
The integration of digital infrastructure with industrial parks brings several key benefits:
- Operational efficiency – proximity to IT infrastructure reduces latency and data transmission costs.
- Investment attractiveness – modern parks attract technology-driven and e-commerce companies.
- Sustainable development – redevelopment of post-industrial sites (such as in Bielsko-Biała) reduces pressure on undeveloped land.
- Resilience to market changes – diversification of functions (logistics + IT) increases long-term stability.
Conclusions
The examples of DL Invest Park Platan and DL Invest Park Bielsko-Biała clearly demonstrate that the future of industrial parks lies in their digital transformation. The integration of data centers, energy infrastructure, and modern logistics space leads to the creation of comprehensive economic ecosystems.
This model is further reinforced by technology partnerships—such as the collaboration with Boosteroid — which enable the scaling of digital infrastructure projects and position Polish developments within the broader European data economy.
