First pile driven for Dnata Cargo City Amsterdam
At Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, at the touch of a button, a pile driver marked the start of construction of cargo building 17 on the Schiphol-Southeast cargo area. This formed the official starting signal for the construction of a new cargo building directly on the apron, which is being developed by Schiphol Commercial Real Estate for its tenant Dnata.
The cargo building, also known as Dnata Cargo City Amsterdam, will be one of the world’s largest and most advanced logistics buildings at an airport, as mentioned in our previous article. It will soon consist of approximately 61,000 sqm of commercial space, including 6,700 sqm of internal office space and with an annual cargo handling capacity of 850,000 t, as mentioned here. The building is expected to be ready for use in the summer of 2024. (cj)
