Increasingly, brownfield land development and refurbishing existing assets through sustainable retrofit are seen as the way forward when to comes to decarbonizing I & L real estate. CTP’ s land bank acquisitions, especially in Germany, have increasingly been brownfields and the company has built up considerable expertise in developing this type of site. Redeveloping in this way has considerable advantages when it comes to reducing the carbon footprint and wider environmental impact of a project and these sites also often boast good intercity connections and already have available services, including power.

Addressing sustainability and providing facilities that match the discerning future demands of logistics providers and high-tech businesses takes considerable long-term investment. As an owner and developer, CTP has the ideal structure to facilitate this, allowing it to be a custodian for its developments over many years, ensuring that as its tenants grow and their needs evolve, it can provide sustainable solutions for them.

With global megatrends such as nearshoring and reshoring only expected to accelerate, increasing demand for the regionalization of supply chains and driving growth of high-tech manufacturing in Europe, the ability of the I & L sector to respond quickly to changing customers’ needs is critical. By providing customers with a full-service real estate offering – and as the long-term custodian of its parks – CTP is ideally placed to support customers in a fast-changing world. With an extensive land bank, CTP can quickly find its clients space to grow, developing state-of-the-art facilities tailored to a customer’ s unique needs, ensuring they can attract and retain the best people, and helping them take advantage of the growth opportunities that Europe now presents. ■
