CTP revives industrial area in Líšeň: Sustainable future on the site of former Zetor

A new industrial zone is emerging from the former Zetor site in Brno-Líšeň, which meets the needs of the 21st century. CTP is revitalizing a large brownfield site here and transforming it into a space for light manufacturing, modern technologies and services. The project also includes a two-story hall with a unique architectural solution.

 Brněnská Líšeň is a neighborhood with a significant industrial past – and also the potential for sustainable development. The transformation of the former Zetor site clearly confirms this. Since 2019, CTP has been gradually reviving the site, which was historically associated with the production of engines and transmissions, and transforming it into a multifunctional center with a clearly defined future. Instead of heavy industry, a new ecological stage is coming that meets the current needs of the city and the market.

Spaces for the future

The dominant feature of the new phase of the project is the so-called doubledecker – a two-story industrial building with a total area of ​​almost 50,000 m², which will replace the original hall known as the gear room. Each floor will have its own ramp for trucks, which will significantly increase the efficiency of operations. The construction will be completed by the end of 2025 and the hall is already more than 40% occupied, mainly by companies from the field of light manufacturing and additional services.

In addition to the gear shop, the former forge will also see a new use. The original building will give way to a completely new hall, designed exactly according to the needs of the future tenant. “Its dismantling, which will start now in May, will take a maximum of three months. The construction will then be completed by the end of the year. Immediately after that, we will start gradually handing it over,” describes Jan Pavelek. The new space already has its tenant – the Rohlík company, which is expanding its facilities in the area.

The next phase of the area’s transformation

The project is based on a combination of high-quality architecture, smart solutions and close cooperation with the city of Brno and the Líšeň district. This is also reflected in improved transport accessibility – a new corridor for pedestrians and cyclists will connect the area with the Stránská skála public transport stop and remove the long-standing barrier between the location and the surroundings. A parking garage with a capacity of over 300 spaces is also planned, which will relieve the surrounding streets and offer comfortable facilities for employees and visitors.

The area is already home to 22 companies with more than 1,300 employees, and with further construction, the number of jobs will also increase. The former brownfield is thus becoming a lively, functional and open part of the city.
