The Czech industrial property market grew by 269,100 sqm in H1 2023, reaching almost 11.3 million sqm. This is a year-on-year increase of more than 11%.

This is also linked to a slight increase in vacancy rates and the stabilisation of rental prices according to findings in a recent survey by Colliers. 

Industrial developer Panattoni has purchased over 4 ha of land in Bieruń, where it plans to develop a new industrial park. The company has already delivered two industrial parks in the area and will expand its presence on the new plot that is based close to the Stellantis car factory.
