CTP has completed the first phase of the redevelopment of the former Zátiší barracks in Plzeň, launching operations at CTPark Plzeň Kasárny and welcoming its first tenants. The project is transforming a former military brownfield into a mixed-use business park comprising more than 50,000 sqm of space. The second phase of development is scheduled for completion during summer 2026.
Originally established as a military base in the 1930s, the Zátiší barracks site became largely unused following political changes after 1989. CTP acquired the property and began its conversion into a business park designed to accommodate manufacturing, research and development, logistics, office, showroom and service functions.
The project was designed by Studio Acht under the direction of architect Václav Hlaváček. The development is targeting BREEAM Outstanding certification and incorporates energy-efficiency measures, green roofs and rainwater management systems.
Several companies have already commenced operations at the park. Czech pharmaceutical distributor Avenier has opened a distribution centre focused on vaccine and healthcare logistics. Czech technology company MITO LIGHT has established its headquarters, warehouse, showroom and distribution facilities at the site.
German industrial electronics manufacturer KRIWAN Group has also leased space at the park. Other tenants include fitness operator Form Factory, Alps South Europe, Eletechnik and Parketcentrum. According to CTP, an additional automotive-sector tenant has also moved into the development.
Form Factory operates a fitness centre within the complex that is accessible to both employees and the public. A padel sports centre operated by Padel Powers is expected to open later this year.
The development includes landscaping designed by Dutch firm Baljon Landscape Architects. Plans call for more than 200 mature deciduous trees, extensive green areas and wildflower meadows to be incorporated throughout the site. The project also connects to a nearby cycling route.
CTPark Plzeň Kasárny consists of four interconnected sections designed to accommodate businesses of varying sizes. Available premises include warehouse, production, laboratory, showroom, retail and office spaces. CTP is also marketing smaller units aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises.
The park is located on Folmavská Street in western Plzeň, with access to public transport and the D5 motorway linking Prague and Germany. The nearby University of West Bohemia provides access to a regional workforce with technical and engineering qualifications.
Development of the site continues with the second construction phase, which will add additional space and expand the park’s capacity. Upon completion, the project is expected to deliver a mixed-use business environment on a formerly underutilised brownfield site.
