Czech Republic CTP builds a two-storey facility

Upon completed at the end of 2025, the centre will provide almost 50,000 sqm. With two separate entrances for freight traffic, each floor can operate separately. The building is structurally designed for high loads, and partially recessed into the slope. The Brno double-decker will include a range of sustainable solutions, from the use of waste heat from the SAKO Brno incinerator to charging stations for electric vehicles. A significant part of the demolition waste from the original building will be reused in the construction, including recycled concrete for road structures and industrial floors. Preliminary earthworks are currently underway, with the building’s completion scheduled for the end of 2025. Over 40 pct of the space has already been pre-leased. The site is being developed through the redevelopment of the Zeteor tractor factory.

Double-decker in Brno is the answer to the challenges that every major city faces today; how to make efficient use of limited space, preserve the character of the location, and at the same time offer top-class facilities for production and technology. It is not an experiment, but a thoughtful step based on experience from abroad. We paid great attention to the technical design and to ensure that the modern building fits in with its surroundings. I am convinced that the result will be not only functional but also inspiring.
