Moravian-Silesian region, along with the Ústí nad Labem and Central Bohemian regions, has ranked among the areas with the strongest investor interest, according to the Business Properties and Brownfields publication by CzechInvest. The DMC Paskov site is one of the most recent examples.
The project, developed by Demaco, is located on the grounds of the former Paskov coal mine, directly by the D56 motorway and with access to a rail siding connected to a transhipment terminal. The key tenant is Lenzing Biocel, which is leasing 13,000 sqm of space in a new industrial hall within the DMC Paskov site.
Examples of transforming former brownfields into modern industrial zones for lease include Contera Park Ostrava D1 and the adjacent development area Hrušov, Ostrava City Logistics Zárubek, P3 Ostrava Central, and the industrial park DMC Paskov.
Ondřej Míček, Head of Industrial at Savills, which brokered the lease, explains: “Ostrava benefits from very good transport infrastructure. We have an international airport, and we are located on the Baltic–Adriatic rail corridor. Future inland waterway transport is also a promising prospect. Poland is planning to make the Odra river navigable up to the Czech–Polish border. Should the project be implemented, Ostrava could gain access to a river port.”
