CTP is entering the Pomeranian regional warehouse market in northern Poland - the construction begins at CTPark Gdańsk Port. The Park is set to be the first investment in that region in the company's portfolio with an overall cost of €72 million, including land acquisition, and a yield on cost of around 10%, and will offer tenants two buildings with a total area of almost 119,000 sqm.

Rental income increased by 13% year-on-year to €230.3 million (CZK 5.7 billion). At present, CTP is the largest player in the Czech industrial-logistics property market with a 28% share.
