The former Zátiší barracks in Pilsen are coming to life: CTP signs first lease agreements at CTPark Plzeň Kasárny, continues transformation of brownfield into modern business centre

CTP, Europe's largest listed industrial developer, continues to transform nearly 65,000 sqm of brownfield land in Plzeň into a modern shopping centre. Upon completion, CTPark Plzeň Kasárny will provide flexible, energy-efficient space for manufacturing, R&D and logistics, reflecting current market needs. The park's first tenants, MITO LIGHT and Avenier as, will find a strategic base for their further growth, confirming CTP's vision to transform the former Kasárna Zátiší into a dynamic centre for business, research and innovation in the West Bohemian region. The handover of the premises to both clients is planned for autumn 2025.

CTPark Plzeň Kasárny represents a key transformation of a brownfield site into a modern business centre offering flexible space for a wide range of companies. The originally planned six buildings have been merged into three multifunctional buildings that more effectively reflect the current market needs. The campus offers versatile CTBox units, ideal for warehouses, showrooms, light manufacturing and research centres. For companies with higher operational requirements, CTSpace units are available, providing extensive manufacturing and logistics space that meets the highest standards of sustainability. CTPark Plzeň Kasárny also introduces a new property type to CTP's offering, CTWorkshop - multi-storey buildings designed for startups, small companies and development centres that require flexible facilities for innovation and growth.

Josef Šindelář, Senior Construction Project Manager at CTP in the Czech Republic, explains:

"The transformation of Zátiší Barracks is one of the most complex projects we are working on in the region. Thanks to innovative technologies such as BMS systems, photovoltaics and energy recovery, we are succeeding in creating a park that not only meets high technical and environmental standards, but also offers a quality working environment. This project proves that even a brownfield site can be transformed into a modern business centre that promotes innovation and growth."

Kristýna Dinebierová, CTP Business Developer in the Czech Republic, adds:

"Already in the early stages of construction, CTPark Plzeň Kasárny is proving to be an attractive option for companies looking for modern and flexible facilities. The first tenants of the park, MITO LIGHT and Avenier as, confirm that the combination of state-of-the-art infrastructure, sustainable technologies and strategic location creates ideal conditions for growth. Each project at CTPark Plzeň Kasárny is tailored to the specific needs of our clients, providing space that meets both their operational and expansion requirements."

First tenants: innovative companies with a clear vision

MITO LIGHT specialises in technologically advanced red and infrared light therapy using LED panels to promote regeneration, performance and vitality. The company has leased a 556 m2 CTBox unit on the site, which it plans to use as a warehouse, distribution centre, small showroom and company headquarters.

Adrien Fajfr, CEO of MITO LIGHT, points out:

"CTPark Plzeň Kasárny offers exactly what we were looking for - flexibility for our expansion, modern facilities for efficient distribution and excellent accessibility for our customers. This move will allow us to strengthen our position as a leader in innovative lighting technologies."

Avenier as is a leading Czech distributor of vaccines and innovative pharmaceuticals and operator of the Vaccination and Travel Medicine Centre. The company has leased a 588 sqm CTBox unit, which will serve as a warehouse and distribution centre to supply medical facilities and vaccination centres across the country.

Ivana Žváčková, marketing manager at Avenier as, said:

"As a leading distributor of vaccines and innovative medicines with an expanding network of vaccination centres across the Czech Republic, we require efficient logistics solutions. CTPark Plzeň Kasárny will provide us with modern warehouse space and access to sustainable technology solutions that are fully in line with our commitment to innovation and healthcare."

Emphasis on sustainability and modern technology

CTP's revitalisation of the former Zátiší barracks emphasises sustainability and efficient use of resources. The project uses recycled materials from the site's original structures, photovoltaic panels for renewable energy and intelligent BMS systems to manage energy consumption. Green roofs will improve the microclimate and rainwater harvesting systems will be used to irrigate the site. Outdoor areas full of greenery, water features, walking and cycling paths will encourage an active lifestyle, contribute to environmentally friendly operations and create a pleasant working environment.

CTPark Plzeň Kasárny benefits from its strategic location near the centre of Plzeň and the award-winning CTPark Plzeň with a direct connection to the D5 motorway providing excellent connectivity and efficient logistics. Vacant space is always available for lease - ideal for companies looking for modern facilities for production, research or logistics.
