Panattoni to launch billion-crown sustainable industrial zone near Pilsen

Panattoni, in collaboration with WOOD & Company’s Logistics Fund, has announced plans to establish Panattoni Park Pilsen West III, a cutting-edge industrial zone near Úherce, just 14 kilometers west of Pilsen. This project, representing a billion-crown investment, will offer 40,000 square meters of rentable space in a high-demand location, strategically positioned near the D5 motorway with key links to Germany and the rest of Central Europe.

The new industrial complex will incorporate advanced green technologies, with solar panels and heat pumps designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy self-sufficiency. A greywater recovery system will recycle water from sinks and showers for technical use, while a dedicated well will reduce reliance on public water supplies. To support local biodiversity, the development will feature a pond to provide habitat for amphibians. The project will target a BREEAM New Construction certification at the “Excellent” level, underscoring its sustainability credentials.

“This partnership with WOOD & Company is a significant step forward in sustainable industrial development in Pilsen,” stated Ondřej Špalek, Panattoni’s Chief Operating and Financial Officer. “With our focus on environmentally friendly facilities, we aim to create optimal conditions for leading manufacturing and logistics companies.”

WOOD & Company’s Jiří Hrbáček echoed the enthusiasm, noting, “Given the current permitting landscape in the Czech Republic, this project presents a unique investment opportunity for our clients.”

Beyond its environmental initiatives, Panattoni is also committed to local community development. In collaboration with Úherce, the company will contribute funding for a new multifunctional playground. Vlastimil Blažek, Mayor of Úherce, welcomed the project, adding, “Panattoni’s development will bring valuable job opportunities and stimulate local services for our residents.”

With Panattoni Park Pilsen West III, Panattoni aims to create a benchmark in responsible industrial development, attracting top companies to enhance the region’s economic and environmental landscape.
