Slättö, through its logistics and light industrial platform Evolv, has broken ground on a new 14,000 sq m purpose‑built logistics hub for DHL Express next to Stockholm Arlanda Airport.

The facility will serve as DHL Express’ new Swedish gateway, strengthening connectivity between Swedish businesses and international markets.

Strategically located close to the airport and major motorway connections, the hub will provide increased sorting capacity and modern infrastructure to support DHL Express’ continued growth and the efficient movement of shipments to and from Sweden. The project reflects rising demand for modern, location‑critical logistics facilities and Slättö’s selective development approach, focused on high‑quality assets tailored to the operational needs of leading occupiers.

Lars Axelsson, partner and head of logistics and light industrial at Slättö, said the development brings together an exceptional location, a high‑quality facility and a long‑term tenant commitment. He noted DHL Express’ position as a global logistics leader and highlighted Slättö’s focus on strong locations with clear occupier demand.

The new gateway is expected to become operational in 2028, with DHL Express committing to a 15‑year lease. The hub will have capacity to sort 6,000 shipments per hour and support the use of electric delivery vehicles.

Slättö manages a logistics and light industrial portfolio of more than 500,000 sq m across Sweden, Finland and Denmark, with an additional 200,000 sq m of building rights for future development.
