Hili Group seeks permit for 32 warehouses

Harbour Investments Limited, a company owned by Hili Investments, is seeking a permit for the development of 32 warehouses and offices in the Tal-Harrub and l-Inwadar area in Kalafrana, next to the Freeport.

The site is an agricultural area of 54,000 square metres, the size of eight football grounds, outside the development zone, which belongs entirely to the developer. The project will not result in any loss of trees but will see the demolition of rubble walls and the creation of new roads around the warehouses.  

A total of 32 warehouses, each of them rising 12 metres high, is being proposed.

Mariner Group owns 36,000 square metres of warehousing space at the Riga Freeport in Latvia.  Hili said back in August 2015 that his company wants to attract large international companies who want to use Malta as their international distribution gateway into Europe and North Africa.
