New logistics project in Alicante, with a focus on the Ocaña corridor, serves as a hub for the sector within the province. A Murcian organizer, Hispavima, has initiated the construction of a new cold storage facility designed for turnkey delivery to Conway, a company specializing in supplying restaurant chains and markets. The layout anticipates long-term tenancy for the property.
A new logistics center will cover 13,235 square meters of land currently prepared for development. A parking area serves a well-known dealership group and the site is offered for sale to Hispavima. It lies in the stretch between Plaza de la Luna and Plutón Street.
The building project will span 5,903 square meters of floor space and rise to 14.5 meters, allowing five levels of pallet storage. The facility is designed as a high-turnover distribution center and will include freezer rooms, controlled cold storage, and ambient spaces for handling, storing, and distributing goods to markets depending on tenant operations.
The development incorporates sustainability criteria and will feature a photovoltaic installation, enabling self-supply for about 50% of the power needs of the cold storage facility. This aligns with a broader strategy to reduce energy costs and environmental impact while maintaining reliable service for clients [Source: Hispavima developers].
Delivery in 2024
According to Hispavima’s logistics and land manager, the warehouse has secured a building permit and construction has commenced. Jorge Truchado notes a planned delivery for May 2024, aiming to be fully operational during the peak tourism season when Conway’s activity in the region is at its strongest.
The project already includes existing facilities and connections with Mercalicant. The new ship will expand capacity for services, enabling Conway to scale its distribution network. The development of this high-turnover distribution center in Alicante is part of a broader transformation plan. It forms a strategic component of the network, intended to meet customer needs, support expansion plans, and unlock growth opportunities in the sectors served by the company [Attribution: Conway management team].
This project marks Hispavima’s second major logistics initiative in Alicante after the construction of the Amazon facility in the city center, which later transferred to an investment fund. Between the two sites, Hispavima’s investments in the city total over 40 million euros [Source: company announcements].

Executives highlight a strong alliance with Conway. Cold storage is a fast-growing segment, and proximity to the city center strengthens delivery timelines for customers. The project’s location, power requirements, building height, and schedule create a new challenge for Hispavima, yet the team remains confident that demand for new logistics spaces in the region will continue to rise given the tourism boom and the growth of the accommodation sector [Insight: market analysis].
