CTP To Build Second Industrial Park in Ostrava, Investing 1.5 Billion CZK
POSITIV 3/2020 57
European developer CTP started building a new ctPark
in Ostrava–Poruba this summer. The new park will develop
the portfolio of four successful ctParks in the Moravian-
Silesian Region, located in Ostrava–Hrabová, Nošovice,
Nový Jičín, and Karviná. “We run a very successful ctPark
here in Ostrava, yet the demand for good-quality logistics
and production facilities is really high in the third largest city
of the Czech Republic. The new park is being developed in
an area with a dense population and well-qualified labour.
The new ctPark in Ostrava–Poruba is being built near the
VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava, only twenty minutes’
drive from the international airport. That makes it an ideal
location for warehousing and light industrial production,”
says Head of Construction for Czechia, Mr David Chládek.
He adds, “Like other ctParks in six countries around Europe,
the premises in Ostrava–Poruba will consist of buildings with
high user and environmental standards, and will comply
with strict conditions of the BREEAM environmental
certification, defining their energy efficiency.”
Local Economies Benefit from Industrial Parks
ctPark Ostrava is a perfect example of a developer
contributing to the prosperity of the region. CTP invested
over 7.5 billion CZK in the premises. Three years after the
opening of its first stage, ctPark Ostrava was awarded the
Industrial Park with Greatest Effect on Economy in the
Real Estate in Enterprise (Podnikatelská nemovitost roku)
competition, held by the agency CzechInvest. Nowadays,
seventy-five companies work on these premises, e.g. the
automotive and motorcycle brake producer Brembo, the
centre of shared services of Moneta Money Bank, the
German automotive parts producer Continental (now
Vitesco, operating their research and development centre
for automotive parts and systems), the Swedish-Swiss
supplier of digital technologies for industries ABB, the car
producer Hyundai, with its numerous suppliers, and others.
The businesses in ctPark Ostrava employ almost 9,000
people; the famous high-rise office building IQ Ostrava in
the centre of Ostrava is home to Tieto.
Carbon-Neutral Operation in CTP Facilities by 2023
The first premises of CTP, ctPark Ostrava offers the
contractors a variety of facilities depending on the
company’s demand and business profile. There are halls of
an area from 500 m
2
for small enterprises, up to 3000 m
2
for medium-sized businesses, and larger premises for
global corporations. New large buildings can be designed
according to the particular requirements of a tenant.
The park is managed by CTP, who provides its clients
with a range of services such as cafeterias and cafés, and
look after the well-landscaped, green environment in the
locations. Some parks, such as that in Bor u Tachova, also
run accommodation for employees.
Cutting-edge industrial buildings comply with the highest
users’ standards, and BREEAM certificates guarantee energy
efficiency. CTP Invest is serious in their responsibility for
the impact of their activities on the environment, which
is why it has committed to achieving carbon neutral
operations by 2023. To achieve this goal, the company is
modernising its existing facilities and constructing new
buildings in accordance with the strictest environmental
regulations, and has them certified according to BREEAM
standards. Currently, about 90 % of CTP premises are
certified BREEAM Excellent or Very Good. Moreover, CTP
engages in other activities towards environmentally-friendly
operations. The company has invested in the preservation
and planting of a million square metres of woods near Mladá
Boleslav, and will plant another square metre of forest for
each square metre of built facilities. CTP intends to transform
the office blocks of Spielberk in Brno to an area producing
zero unsorted waste. Plans for the near future include
the parks’ roofs to be equipped with photovoltaic power
plants with over twenty megawatt-peak efficiency, with the
prospective output of 250 MWp. CTP thus has achieved
the highest number of BREEAM certificates in the Czech
Republic, and has become a world leader in the number
of certified industrial operations complying with BREEAM
In-Use standards.
