CTP has launched a project for its long-time partner, Hitachi Energy, at CTPark Brno in the Czech Republic. The developer has also revealed its plans for a campus enriching the range of services in the industrial park.
CTP is investing €57m in the construction of the first phase of the project - a 50,000 sqm state-of-the-art high-voltage products factory with an expected yield on cost (YoC) exceeding 10%.
The factory will manufacture gas-insulated lines and components for gas-insulated switchgear, products vital for the transmission and distribution of electricity. All facilities will be tailored to the client's needs and designed to meet the quality standards for manufacturing processes. This project will create approximately 200 jobs. A special feature of the project is the underground car park directly under the hall, to allow easy access for employees.
The production building will be equipped with heat pumps and solar panels. CTP aims to obtain the BREEAM Outstanding certification.
Following this project for Hitachi Energy, CTP plans to build an adjacent campus that will provide new opportunities for employees and encourage visitors to the park. The campus will include offices, residences, a cafe and other services. There will also be flexible mixed-use CTBox units suitable for showrooms, offices, warehouses and production spaces.
"This project in CTPark Brno will provide us with a background for our eco-efficient EconiQ portfolio production. Our investment of over CZK 1.1 billion (€44 million) will increase production capacity and address the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions," said Pavel Kovář, Country Managing Director at Hitachi Energy for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
