ARETE Park Rokycany I nears completion with latest unit handover to Hutchinson

The penultimate unit within ARETE Park Rokycany I has been successfully completed and handed over to its new tenant, the Czech subsidiary of the French company Hutchinson. This marks another milestone in the park’s development, which continues to progress according to schedule. The second hall within the park, offering over 15,000 square meters of rental space, is being delivered in phases, with the latest unit covering approximately 4,800 square meters now in full operation.

Hutchinson s.r.o., a subsidiary of the multinational conglomerate TotalEnergies, has been operating in Rokycany since 1994, specializing in the production of rubber components for the automotive industry. Their product range includes hoses for air, fuel, oil, and water systems. The newly acquired space in ARETE Park Rokycany I will serve as the company’s comprehensive logistics center, enhancing its operational efficiency. Hutchinson has signed a long-term lease and will share the hall with another tenant, further optimizing the facility’s utilization.

Hutchinson is a global leader in vibration control, fluid management, and sealing technologies. With a workforce of 40,000 employees across 25 countries, the company provides innovative solutions to demanding industries across air, land, and sea, striving to create safer, more comfortable, and more sustainable mobility solutions. The partnership with Hutchinson underscores ARETE’s commitment to securing top-tier tenants and reinforcing its reputation as a provider of premium industrial spaces.

Spanning a total area of over 22,000 square meters, ARETE Park Rokycany I is designed to meet the highest environmental standards. Both halls in the park have received BREEAM certification and are equipped with energy-efficient heat pumps for heating. In alignment with ARETE’s ESG strategy, extensive landscaping efforts have been undertaken, including the planting of numerous trees, shrubs, and grasses carefully selected to reflect the native flora of the region. This initiative not only enhances the park’s visual appeal but also contributes to soil enrichment and plant biodiversity, seamlessly blending the development with the surrounding landscape.

Strategically located directly off Exit 62 of the D5 highway, the park offers unparalleled connectivity between Prague and Germany, making it an ideal hub for logistics and industrial operations.

The ARETE INDUSTRIAL fund, which manages the park, boasts a portfolio with assets exceeding €300 million. The fund’s leasable space is geographically distributed across the region, with 48% in the Czech Republic, 27% in Slovakia, and 25% in Poland, reflecting its robust presence in Central Europe.

With this latest handover to Hutchinson, ARETE Park Rokycany I is approaching full occupancy, further solidifying its position as a key logistics hub in the region.
