CTP has announced it symbolically raised the first column to mark the start of construction of a new, 38,000-square-meter building at CTPark Brno South with the key tenant being ABB.
The BRNS04 building is part of the next phase of development of CTPark Brno South, one of the most important industrial complexes in South Moravia, where last year CTP delivered a 52,000 square meters production facility – one of the largest in the region.
ABB will move into new premises covering over 17,000 square meters and expand its production of low-voltage switchgear and related activities, including a development center. The move will create up to 60 new jobs across all positions in the first phase while the number of employees is expected to grow tenfold to around 600 – nearly double the current level of 320 people employed at ABB’s existing location. Production at the new facility at CTPark Brno South is scheduled to start in August 2026. ABB cooperates with CTP at several other locations, including the Ponavka mixed-use campus in Brno and Ostrava.
“Our requirements for the new facility were very specific from the outset, we were looking for premises that would allow us to develop production alongside the development of switchgear, and at the same time provide high-quality conditions for our employees,” ABB Manufacturing Unit Manager David Stanek commented. “CTP was able to meet these requirements. The possibility of connecting production, offices, and relaxation areas in one place was one of the main reasons why we decided to move this part of our activities from the center of Brno here.”
“ABB has long been one of the most important employers in the South Moravian region, and we are delighted that the company has chosen us for its further development plans,” CTP Senior Business Developer Pavel Blazek added. “We greatly appreciate the trust they have placed in us. This project is another step in the development of our Brno locations and raises not only the standard of construction, but also the perception of industrial locations in the Czech Republic. I would like to thank Cushman & Wakefield Senior Consultant Vit Zdrahal and Cushman & Wakefield Consultant Anna Janeckova, who contributed to the successful completion of the transaction.”
