We handed over the penultimate unit in ARETE Park Rokycany I to Hutchinson

We have completed the penultimate unit within ARETE Park Rokycany I and handed it over to its tenant, the Czech subsidiary of the French company Hutchinson. The construction of the second hall at ARETE Park Rokycany I is progressing according to schedule, offering three rental units spanning more than 15,000 sqm. Late last year, a unit covering approximately 4,800 sqm was completed and handed over to Hutchinson s.r.o. The tenant is the Czech subsidiary of the French company Hutchinson, a member of the multinational conglomerate TotalEnergies. Since 1994, Hutchinson s.r.o. has operated a production facility in another part of Rokycany, specializing in manufacturing rubber components for the automotive industry, including hoses for air, fuel, oil, and water systems. The new space in ARETE Park Rokycany I has enabled the company to establish a comprehensive logistics center. The company has signed a long-term lease and will share the hall with another tenant. Hutchinson is a global leader in vibration control, fluid management, and sealing technologies. With 40,000 employees in 25 countries, the company focuses on creating safer, more comfortable, and more sustainable mobility across air, land, and sea, delivering innovative solutions to highly demanding markets. Our goal is to consistently secure premium tenants—leaders in their industries—and we have once again achieved this with ARETE Park Rokycany I. The total area of the park exceeds 22,000 sqm, and the technical specifications of both halls meet the strictest environmental standards, including achieving BREEAM certification. Both halls are primarily heated using heat pumps. Throughout the entire park, dozens of trees, hundreds of shrubs and subshrubs, as well as hundreds of perennials and grasses, have been planted in alignment with ARETE’s ESG strategy. All species were carefully selected to reflect the region’s native flora, ensuring they seamlessly blend into the surrounding landscape. All greenery planted in the park naturally enhances the aesthetic value of the environment while also improving soil quality and promoting plant biodiversity. Additionally, the park boasts a prime location directly off Exit 62 of the D5 highway, the main transportation route connecting Prague with neighboring Germany. The total value of assets under management in the ARETE INDUSTRIAL fund exceeds €300 million. Geographically, the fund’s leasable space is distributed as follows: 48% is in the Czech Republic, 27% in Slovakia, and 25% in Poland.

Where to Invest in 2025? Insights from ARETE’s Co-Founder

In an exclusive interview with Euro magazine, Lubor Svoboda, co-founder of ARETE investment and real estate group, shares his perspective on the shifting dynamics of the global investment landscape.  Lubor explains how diversified strategies including real estate and energy transition can help investors navigate challenges like inflation, regulatory pressures, and geopolitical shifts. Key takeaways: –      Real estate remains a “safe haven” with stable, inflation-proof returns, while energy transition offers higher yields for those willing to navigate regulatory complexities. –      The importance of diversification: “A well-balanced mix of stocks, bonds with ratings, and real estate can ensure long-term growth.” –      What lies ahead? The evolving demand for energy and robust investments in renewables present an unparalleled opportunity for forward-looking investors.  Curious to learn more?
