Havlog Le Havre, France

This is the largest logistics facility ever built in Le Havre, and its dimensions are truly breathtaking: total footprint of 92,000 m² - equivalent to 13 football pitches - and more than 1,000,000 m³ of storage capacity. In addition to its gigantic size, this strategic import/export location makes the Havlog hub unique in Europe, because the site is connected directly to the Atlantic Corridor by water, rail and motorway.

This prime location in the Industrial Port Zone of Le Havre, France’s leading container port, has allowed Havlog to adopt a multimodal approach built around low carbon technologies and sustainability, with solutions like the solar power plant installed on its roof. Offices (overlooking the Le Havre estuary) and employee spaces occupy around 2,000 m² of the site, which also offers its users a panoramic terrace.

Although the building was initially designed for division into separate rental units - 9 modular cells 11.6 metres high with 12,000 m² of floor space - it is currently leased in its entirety by home decoration and homewares retailer JJA.

37,000 m² of photovoltaic roofing has a generating capacity equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of the two communities in which the site is located: Sandouville and Saint Vigor d’Ymonville.
