Regulatory News:
CTP, Europe's largest listed developer, owner, and manager of
industrial and logistics properties by gross lettable area (GLA),
has signed three new leases with Milšped, a leading logistics
provider for Serbia and Southeast Europe, totalling 64,000 sqm.
This brings Milšped’s overall footprint with CTP to 105,000 sqm,
representing a significant expansion in the company’s operations
and helping it meet the increasing demand for logistics services
across Serbia and the wider CEE region.
The three new deals strengthen an already successful partnership
and make Milšped one of CTP’s largest clients in Serbia. The new
leases span CTP industrial and logistics parks across the country,
including at a newly developed CTPark in Niš, Serbia’s third
largest city, while Milšped has also signed leases to take
additional space at CTParks in Belgrade and Novi Sad.
At CTPark Belgrade West, Milšped signed a lease in December for
the entire building SIM 6, from which it will be providing
logistics services for a leading multinational client. Located in
an established industrial zone near Šimanovci, with excellent
transport links to the Beograd-Zagreb E-701 motorway and Nikola
Tesla International Airport, the facility will boost Milšped's
logistics capabilities, enabling the efficient management and
expansion of its regional distribution network.
Earlier in June, Milšped further developed its cooperation with
CTP by leasing space at the new CTPark Niš in central Serbia, from
where it will serve major international clients across various
industries. The logistics company is also expanding its existing
space at CTPark Novi Sad East, to accommodate the growing needs of
their client. The park is well located for business with direct
international railway access and close proximity to the EU border.
Milšped will take advantage of this to provide excellent logistics
services to its international client base.
Milšped’s expansion highlights the rapid growth of the
third-party logistics (3PL) sector in Central and Eastern Europe
(CEE), driven by factors such as nearshoring, regional
manufacturing growth, and the rise of e-commerce. As demand for
modern logistics infrastructure continues to grow, Milšped’s
investment in flexible and state-of-the-art facilities with CTP
ensures it is well-equipped to meet the evolving needs of an
extensive modern client base.
Laza Kovačević, Managing Director for CTP Serbia, said:
"Our successful partnership with Milšped highlights how strategic
location selection and scalable logistics solutions have allowed us
to support the expansion of the business. This is enabling Milšped
to meet the growing demands of its clients, and provide the
flexibility needed to accommodate rapidly evolving business needs
across the region. We pride ourselves on our close relationships
with clients, which explains why 70% of all new deals we sign
across our portfolio are with existing clients. Our relationship
with Milšped means we understand their what they need from their
space, and we can support them with everything from expanding
capacity at their existing locations to developing properties
suited to their needs in entirely new locations suitable for them.
This mirrors what we do time and again for many of our
clients.”
Nebojsa Krivokuca at Milšped commented: “Our
collaboration with CTP has been integral to our expansion in the
region. These new logistics facilities will provide us with the
space and infrastructure needed to support our expanding
multinational client base and meet their needs. We're excited about
the opportunities these new facilities will offer as we continue to
strengthen our footprint in Serbia.”
CTP is the leading developer of industrial and logistics
properties in Serbia, managing a total gross leasable area (GLA) of
600,000 sqm with an additional 200,000 sqm to be delivered in 2025.
Its parks are strategically located in key cities, including
Belgrade, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, Jagodina, and Niš. CTP’s premier
industrial parks, such as CTPark Belgrade North and CTPark Belgrade
West, offer Class A facilities with excellent transportation links
to major European cities and are conveniently located near Nikola
Tesla International Airport. This presents significant investment
opportunities in CTP’s Serbian locations, contributing to a more
robust logistics and industrial sector.
