The Ontígola IV will have an 80,000m² useful area on a plot of 176,000m², including 77 loading and unloading docks, 2,000m² of office space, 76,328m² of storage space and 440 parking spaces. It will also have a photovoltaic self-consumption project. The facility will be located in the Dehesa de la Plata Industrial Estate. The facility will start operations in April 2025 and is expected to reach a management volume of 38.41 Muds in 2026. The facility will be climate-controlled all year round. It will have an artificial lagoon and native vegetation with low water demand.
