CTP, Europe’s largest listed developer, owner, and operator of industrial parks by gross leasable area (GLA), has signed an agreement with LEROY MERLIN Romania—a retailer specializing in construction, home improvement, décor, and gardening—to expand its regional distribution center at CTPark Bucharest West to 48,500 sqm. The announcement was made during the groundbreaking ceremony for the company’s new build-to-suit facility, located within Europe’s largest industrial park, which has a planned total leasable area of ​​nearly 1.5 million sqm.

LEROY MERLIN, part of the French group ADEO, has signed an agreement for its new 48,500 sqm built-to-suit distribution center. Currently under construction as part of the project's first phase, the facility is scheduled for delivery in February 2027. This project marks a significant strategic milestone in the partnership between the two companies and reinforces CTPark Bucharest West’s position as a key logistics hub in Romania and the Central and Eastern European region.

The agreement was structured around LEROY MERLIN’s specific operational and technical requirements, placing a strong emphasis on building configuration flexibility, adaptable layouts, rapid delivery timelines, and full space customization. CTP was selected following a competitive pitch, recognized as a trusted partner thanks to its experienced team and proven ability to efficiently deliver complex, large-scale developments on an end-to-end basis.

The final decision was influenced by the competitive advantages of CTPark Bucharest West—including its strategic location, developed infrastructure, flexibility, and long-term growth potential, as well as the quality of the facilities and integrated services available within the industrial park. From an operational standpoint, the chosen solution offers clear benefits, such as cost-efficiency, proximity to Bucharest, and direct access to major road infrastructure, with immediate connectivity to the A1 motorway.

Cristina Manea, Business Developer at CTP Romania, states: "This agreement reflects our ability to truly adapt to client needs and deliver solutions that go beyond the standard for industrial spaces. We worked closely with LEROY MERLIN to shape a project that supports both their current operations and future growth, combining flexibility, efficiency, and long-term scalability. CTPark Bucharest West continues to demonstrate its value as a strategic location for companies looking to optimize their supply chains and expand in Romania".

Ionuț Vasile, Supply Chain Leader at LEROY MERLIN Romania, states: "To meet our customers' needs, we require a reliable, high-quality logistics infrastructure that supports efficient and flexible operations. This partnership will help us further optimize our logistics and fulfillment capabilities, providing the capacity and adaptability needed to maintain high service standards and effectively respond to ever-changing market demands".

Beyond standard specifications, the project incorporates a range of advanced technical features designed to support operational efficiency and safety. These include multiple loading bays configured to the client's layout, a dedicated car parking area with separate traffic flow and a direct overhead walkway connection to the main building—eliminating interaction between pedestrians and truck traffic—as well as enhanced fire protection systems that meet the latest regulations. This once again demonstrates CTP’s ability to deliver customized, growth-ready real estate solutions that support its clients' long-term operational and strategic objectives.

Located in western Bucharest, near the city's most densely populated area, CTPark Bucharest West offers excellent access to the workforce and optimal conditions for last-mile logistics. The industrial park benefits from direct connectivity to the A1 motorway—Romania's main transport corridor—while the Păcii and Preciziei metro stations are just a short drive away, facilitating efficient employee access. The park also features on-site amenities such as a canteen, medical services, green spaces, and the "Clubhaus"—a modern community hub developed by CTP—all contributing to an efficient and attractive work environment for clients.
