Madrid 6 November 2025 – GLP Spain, a leading developer of high-quality logistics solutions now part of Ares Management Real Estate, has signed an agreement with BigMat, the leading distribution group in the independent construction and renovation market, for the lease of a 22,380 m² warehouse at G-Park Getafe, located in the south of Madrid.
BigMat, with more than 900 affiliated companies and 1,200 sales outlets – both owned and associated – is part of an international group present in seven European countries. The company has become a benchmark in the construction and renovation sector, offering comprehensive solutions for both professionals and end users. With over 35 years of experience, BigMat has chosen G-Park Getafe as its new main logistics centre, which will serve as the heart of its distribution network and marks a key step in its expansion strategy in Spain.
Óscar Heras, Managing Director of GLP Spain, stated: “This agreement with BigMat not only strengthens our presence in Madrid’s logistics market, it underscores our commitment to sustainability and operational excellence. G-Park Getafe, with its BREEAM certification, is an example of how we can offer advanced logistics solutions that promote energy efficiency and innovation. We are very pleased that BigMat has chosen this strategic asset to reinforce its distribution network in the region.”
A key logistics hub
From this new logistics platform, BigMat will manage a wide range of products for its sales outlets and customers across central Spain and other regional centres. Although the annual volume of goods has not been disclosed, the facility is set to become a key logistics hub for the company, consolidating its position as BigMat’s main national distribution centre among the three it currently operates.
The facility is expected to be fully operational from January 2026, bringing a positive impact on the company’s distribution efficiency.
Sustainability at the heart of the operation
Sustainability is a core pillar of this agreement. G-Park Getafe holds BREEAM certification, recognising its energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources—key factors that were positively assessed by BigMat during the site selection process.
It is estimated that the building’s CO₂ emissions will be reduced by up to 93.6%, while energy demand will fall by 48%, thanks to its photovoltaic panel network. In addition, energy consumption will be cut by 92.3% and water use by 81.6%, supported by a rainwater recovery system.
The facility also prioritises the health and well-being of its users, featuring a ventilation system that meets high air quality standards and materials with low emissions. The project was developed on a previously urbanised site, minimising its ecological footprint, and includes biodiversity measures such as the installation of bird nesting boxes and the planting of native vegetation.
Jorge Vega, Managing Director of BigMat, commented: “Our decision to establish our new platform at G-Park Getafe stems from the need for an efficient, well-located logistics centre in central Spain. This site allows us to streamline distribution to our regional centres and become the heart of our network. The facility not only meets our operational requirements but also reinforces our commitment to sustainability, as evidenced by its BREEAM certification for energy efficiency.”
GLP currently manages a portfolio of 12 logistics buildings in Spain, covering nearly 400,000 m², confirming its position as a key player across the country’s main logistics corridors.
