CTP has begun the construction of a new 30,000-square-meter distribution center at CTPark Blatnice in the Czech Republic for Redcare Pharmacy. The building is scheduled for completion in July 2025.
Redcare Pharmacy N.V. is a European e-pharmacy active in Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, offering its almost 12 million active customers a range of more than 150,000 products. The logistics center at CTPark Blatnice is being developed to serve the e-pharmacy’s Austrian market.
“We are thrilled to be able to develop such an important project together with Redcare Pharmacy,” said Jakub Kodr, Head of Business Development CTP Czech Republic. “CTPark Blatnice will provide an optimal environment for development thanks to its modern facilities and strategic location, as well as our speed and expertise in delivering large and technically challenging projects. The emphasis on sustainability and innovative technologies such as heat pumps or photovoltaic panels show CTP’s commitment to ESG as a long-term owner of industrial and logistics real estate.”
“Finding a partner who understands the specific needs of the pharmaceutical industry was crucial for us,” said Theresa Holler, COO and responsible pharmacist of Redcare Pharmacy. “CTP not only has experience in this sector, but offered us premises with a high standard of sustainability and technologies that ensure safe and efficient storage of pharmaceuticals. We look forward to working together and successfully delivering this project.”
According to a CTP press release, “the project is characterized by its emphasis on sustainability and modern technologies, which are required for the storage standards of pharmaceutical products. The warehouse will be equipped with indoor climate control and innovative technologies such as ground-to-air heat pumps, thermal sensors or special protective films on the skylights to ensure optimal indoor temperature control and protect the space from overheating. Such a concept guarantees that the warehouse and pharmacy operations will meet the strict standards and regulations of the State Institute for Drug Control.”
CTP is focusing on the use of renewable energy sources in the project, and plans to instal photovoltaic panels on the roof of the building. In addition, the project includes electric vehicle charging stations, advanced technologies for rainwater retention and reuse, and biodiversity measures such as pools, lizard houses, and habitats to protect local fauna.
CTPark Blatnice is located on the D5 motorway, 17 km from Pilsen and 7 km from the container terminal in Nyrany. The park currently occupies an area of 58,600 square meters, with a planned expansion of another 20,748 square meters.
