Valašské Meziříčí

The new development project ARETE PARK Valašské Meziříčí will provide over 25,000 sqm of premium space for light manufacturing, assembly, and logistics. In the summer of 2024, the third phase of construction was successfully completed in collaboration with an existing esteemed tenant, DB Schenker. The manufacturing and storage spaces meet the latest technological and environmental standards. The park features state-of-the-art solar panels with a total capacity of 999 kWp and charging stations for electric cars and trucks, in line with the group’s ESG strategy. The solar power plant annually supplies 950 MWh of clean energy to DB Schenker, with the surplus electricity delivered to the distribution grid. Additionally, two biotopes have been created within the park—a wetland for amphibians and a unique “frog castle,” offering shade, water access, and shelter from predators or during winter. These biotopes were developed in alignment with ARETE Group’s ESG strategy, not only to enhance the sustainability of our developments but also to increase the value of the fund’s assets. Park with its unique location provides excellent accessibility to the motorway network through a newly built connection to the D48 motorway enabling smooth transport in the direction Brno – Ostrava – Poland. A major transport advantage is the direct connection to the Slovak transport network. At the same time, the location is very attractive due to good access to the labor force and historical orientation towards light and heavy industry.

Pilsen

ARETE Park Pilsen Borska pole will provide a total of 17,800 sqm of premium space for light production, assembly and logistics. The park is currently leased to four reputable tenants: Zásilkovna, Megatech, GIENGER, and Oxymetal. At the end of 2023, the construction of the park’s third logistics hall was completed for a new tenant, the French company Oxymetal, which specializes in metal processing and the production of metal components for various industries, including automotive, energy, and construction. In March 2024, an extension of approximately 2,000 sqm was handed over to Zásilkovna, which has been utilizing space in the park’s first hall since 2023. The urban location connected directly to the D5 highway, the most importnant logistics corridor from Prague to Germany, still provides good access to manpower. The skilled workforce is recruited from local schools, and in addition, Pilsen is gradually becoming a destination for relocation from less attractive locations in the Czech Republic. It is not only about logistics and production, but above all about hugh-tech research and development centres and other highly qualified activities. The industrial park project in Plzeň is also exceptional in that it is the first complete modernisation of a brownfield site, which involved the complete revitalisation of a former meat processing plant.
