News Article CTP Czech Republic e-commerce growth industrial logistics nearshoring

by Ákos Budai | Interview

Jakub Kodr, Managing Director of CTP Czech Republic, recently sat down with Property Forum to share insights on the company’s evolving strategy. From a stronger focus on manufacturing and high-tech industries to pioneering mixed-use developments, he outlined how CTP is embracing nearshoring, driving sustainable growth, and building value-focused urban ecosystems.


Congratulations on your appointment as Managing Director. What are you most looking forward to in the coming year?

Over the past seven and a half years, I've been deeply invested in CTP's growth. We're in an exciting position with nearly 260 colleagues in the Czech Republic, spanning over 60 locations and close to 4.5 million square meters of development area. To put this into perspective, our Czech portfolio is larger than the entire Slovakian market. What truly excites me is our client-focused approach – 70% of our business comes from existing customers, allowing us to grow together.

What are your key objectives for the year?

We're aiming to complete approximately 400,000 square meters of new buildings. If everything goes well, we hope to approach 5 million square meters this year. We're working on some remarkable projects, including a standout development for Hitachi – a 56,000 square meter state-of-the-art custom-built property in Brno.
