The development company Alterra Group has launched the PORT LVIV 2.0 logistics center, the company's press service told Interfax-Ukraine.

PORT 2.0 is an extension of the Lviv logistics center PORT, covering an area of 77,000 square meters. PORT 2.0 consists of six phases totaling 28,400 square meters, with four phases already completed and two slated for completion by the end of the third quarter. In total, PORT LVIV 2.0 will create over 500 new jobs.

The architectural firm VR Group designed PORT 2.0, realizing a concept that integrates various types of commercial real estate with a focus on architecture, ecology, and energy efficiency. According to the master plan, 27,000 square meters are dedicated to logistics and production facilities, 1,400 square meters to retail, offices, and food establishments. The site includes a conference hall in a shelter, serving as a community center for residents and event participants. The logistics center also features a relaxation area with a lake and landscape design, as well as a large green zone by the roadside.

To enhance energy efficiency, a solar power plant is being designed for PORT 2.0, which will cover 90% of its energy needs on sunny days, ensuring independence from external power sources. Additionally, Alterra Group plans to expand the boiler room with extra pellet boilers for independent heating.
