Cushman and Wakefield has launched a technological system , available and open to the public through its website , which will provide companies with a comprehensive analysis of the different components driving industry development . This will support them in determining the ideal location for their operations and improve their last-mile processes .
Given that the logistics operation ’ s epicenter is in the city of Bogotá , four rings or radio zones of influence were created , covering an area of up to 43 km . This allows for a thorough analysis of this terrain range .
For the development of this tool , approximately 100 reliable sources were used , providing essential information for investors , logistics operators , developers , tenants and lessors . These sources include :
• Periodic identification of indicators in the industrial logistics market , analyzing components within radio zones , including absorption rates , vacancies , average rental prices , projections and typologies
With this robust information system , four action zones are analyzed through various indicators , allowing for answering fundamental questions such as : Where can I locate my business ? Where are more developments taking place ? What are the development trends and specifications for each segment ? How does the merchandise behave throughout the system ? What is my highest transportation cost ? Where is the most attractive rental or purchase rates ? What is the market ’ s behavior in this system ? And even , what opportunities exist for the industry ?
First Radio : Last-Mile Radio
• Tracking the import cargo and its classification upon entering the system , and how it interacts with other indicators in each radio zone
• Analyzing road projects , whether for restructuring , operation , or new developments and understanding their impact on different logistics corridors
• Characterizing population density , crucial for locating operations with employment generation potential
• Calculating the cargo transported by each different means of transportation
• Identifying population growth milestones within the system
• Evaluating urban growth potential based on the geographical conditions of each radio zone
• Identifying the radio zones with the highest potential , based on ongoing or planned construction projects for logistics parks
• Identifying and analyzing cargo ingress through each of the system ’ s routes
This includes 15 kilometers with an area of 383.38 km 2 , where 330 km 2 represent constructed surfaces and it accounts for 68 % of the population in all four radio zones .
It is in this zone where , in most cases , products enter the main distribution center for final delivery to consumers . Approximately 1.1 million cargo vehicles move within this area throughout the year , connecting key points across Colombia to the Bogotá Savanna .
Second Radio : Metropolitan Area
This zone comprises the submarkets of Calle 80 , Funza and Mosquera , housing seven parks under construction in addition to the 18 already operational parks .
The area has undergone infrastructure modifications , zoning changes and expansions , giving rise to the Sabana Occidente area in the Cundinamarca
