Bulgaria marks the seventh country in which CTP opens operations, stretching the company's portfolio from the German border to the Black Sea.

CTP has entered the Bulgarian market with plans to reach 100,000 sqm of leased space by the end of 2021. Bulgaria is CTP’s seventh market in the Central European region, extending the company’s geographical footprint from the North Sea to the Black Sea.
 
“Bulgaria is a crossroads between Europe and the thriving economies of the Middle East, Russia and Asia” said Remon Vos, CTP’s Group CEO. “Its GDP growth is a healthy three per cent, and over 90 per cent of that GDP is from industrials and services. By any standard Bulgaria is a promising country for investment in business parks, offices and logistics centres.”

Remon continues to lead the company at full-speed, with big plans for the future.

Vladimir Gurdjieff, CTP’s Bulgaria Country Manager, explains that the move responds to demand by several existing CTP clients. “Our initial focus will be on the Sofia metropolitan area and on the 3PL, distribution, pharmaceutical and FMCG sectors,” he says. “We expect to have a team of six property professionals in place by Christmas. Our growth plans are ambitious: 100,000 square metres by the end of 2021. We will achieve this by a combination of acquisition and brand-new development.”
 
CTP now operates in seven European countries. With Bulgaria, it is also the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Romania, and Poland.

Green finance becomes the new rule for Romanian real estate

by Property Forum
Sustainability criteria are playing an increasing role when banks finance real estate projects in Romania, while buildings that meet green finance standards can obtain better terms. These are the findings of a study carried out by Colliers on the local market, based on responses from four commercial banks, which together hold more than half of the Romanian banking system's assets, and two multilateral development banks active in the real estate sector. The clearest rule identified for new buildings is the NZEB-10% standard, applied by all institutions analysed. All six require the primary energy demand of a new building to be at least 10% below the national NZEB threshold, and a project that does not meet this standard may still be financed, but the loan will generally not be classified as green finance.
