GARBE announces 100% occupancy of all its industrial parks in CEE

GABRE IRE CEE 02/12/2024

Prague/Bratislava, 2 December 2024 – GARBE, a renowned specialist in logistics, industrial and technological real estate, which entered the markets of Central and Eastern Europe in 2020, announces the full occupancy of all its industrial parks in the region. The recently vacated space of 10 000 sqm in GARBE Park Senec, a property managed for the real estate investment and asset manager Union Investment, was immediately occupied by Würth International Trading s.r.o., the global market leader in the development, production, and sale of fastening and assembly materials.

“Our industrial parks represent strong investments with high growth potential. We have developer several sites in Central and Eastern Europe with a focus on the highest requirements for sustainability, cutting-edge technical equipment, and excellent accessibility. Although we took over the premises in Senec as an existing property, it made great strategic sense. Their attractiveness is confirmed by the quick leasing of the recently vacated space by Würth,” says Martin Stratov, Country Head for the Czech Republic and Slovakia at GARBE.

 GARBE PARK Senec is exceptional due to its location and strong demand, which is comparable to the demand for logistics parks in the Rudná and Horní Počernice areas near Prague.

“Four years ago, we first expanded into the Czech and Slovak markets, then into Poland, and recently into Romania. All our developed or under construction sites are now fully occupied. These include primarily manufacturing or logistics companies, for which we have been able to build tailor-made spaces that meet their needs. In a short period of time, we have also managed to lease buildings that we developed speculatively,” adds Martin Stratov.

 GARBE is currently operating industrial parks in České Budějovice and Klášterec nad Ohří in the Czech Republic. In Slovakia, it owns industrial premises in Senec, and in Poland, newly developed parks in Wrocław and Poznan. In Romania, GARBE focuses on the development of other promising industrial projects. GARBE also successfully sold two of its parks over the summer, which it still manages. These are in Chomutov, which falls within the portfolio of the Fio Real Estate Fund, and in Piešt’any, which is owned by Patria Investment Company. “We also have sites in our portfolio where we can continue new developments. In the Czech Republic, this concerns České Budějovice, Klášterec nad Ohří, Pohořelice, Velký Osek, and Loděnice, and in Slovakia, Senec and Bratislava,” concludes Martin Stratov.
