Logian and SRV to develop new logistics and production properties near Turku shipyard

Logian and SRV have signed a cooperation agreement for the development and leasing of three logistics and production properties in Blue Industry Park. The project covers a total of approximately 50,000 sqm.

Blue Industry Park is being built adjacent to the Turku shipyard and is set to become Europe’s leading hub for the maritime and manufacturing industries. The area brings together top expertise in manufacturing, research, and product development, serving both the maritime industry’s subcontractor network and other industrial sectors. The 28-hectare site is strategically located near the E18 highway, rail, shipping, and air transport connections.

“The collaboration between Logian and SRV enables the construction of modern and efficient logistics and production facilities in a strategically excellent location. From Logian’s perspective, this project supports our strategic development. Blue Industry Park combines strong demand, top-tier infrastructure, and long-term tenant potential. The project’s scale and adaptability provide excellent conditions for stable returns and future value growth,” says Elsi Luhtanen, Partner at Mrec Investment Management Oy, representing Logian.

Construction of the modern logistics and production facilities will begin immediately after securing anchor tenants’ agreements. Logian and SRV are prepared to start construction within the current year.

“With this cooperation agreement, we are now advancing negotiations with potential tenants for the logistics properties being developed in Blue Industry Park, together with Logian, a significant real estate investment company. These discussions are already well underway, and the projects have generated considerable interest,” says Jukka Aaltonen, SRV’s Regional Director for Southwest Finland.

A new maritime industry hub to boost Turku’s economy

The goal is to develop the land surrounding the Turku shipyard into a globally leading maritime industry hub.

“Modern logistics and production facilities not only enhance the competitiveness of high-tech companies but also act as key drivers attracting further investments and businesses to the area. This strengthens the overall vitality of Turku, creates new jobs, and promotes economic growth. Blue Industry Park is a crucial part of the city’s future success story,” says Minna Arve, Mayor of Turku.

Blue Industry Park aims to enhance the competitiveness of companies operating in the area by providing modern and resource-efficient solutions, fostering a collaborative business community, and offering comprehensive support services.

“Implementing Blue Industry Park requires partners who share a common vision for a competitive and sustainable industry. The investments by SRV and Logian in Blue Industry Park accelerate the development of resource-efficient and low-carbon industries, offering businesses better conditions to grow and succeed sustainably,” says Tero Lahti, CEO of Blue Industry Park.

“The Blue Industry Park area is strategically important for Meyer Turku and the entire maritime industry ecosystem. It helps us strengthen our competitiveness, develop processes, and advance the green transition. Close collaboration with local stakeholders will drive new innovations and opportunities, reinforcing Turku’s position as a leader in the maritime industry,” says Toni Sainio, Infrastructure and Services Director at Meyer Turku.
