CTP extends partnership with LEROY MERLIN Romania to 48,500 sqm at Europe’s largest industrial park

Amsterdam, 13 May 2026: CTP, Europe’s largest listed developer, owner and operator of logistics and industrial real estate by gross lettable area (GLA), has signed an agreement with LEROY MERLIN Romania, a retailer specializing in construction, home improvement, decoration, and gardening, to expand its regional distribution centre at CTPark Bucharest West to 48,500 sqm.

The announcement was made during the groundbreaking ceremony for the company’s new, custom-built facility, located at Europe’s largest industrial park, with a total planned leasable area of nearly 1.5 million sqm.

LEROY MERLIN, part of the French ADEO Group, signed the agreement for its new, custom-built 48,500 sqm distribution centre. This is now under construction in Phase 1 of the project, with handover scheduled for February 2027. The project represents a strategic milestone in the partnership between the two companies and reinforces CTPark Bucharest West’s position as a key logistics hub in Romania and in the wider Central and Eastern European region.

The deal is structured around LEROY MERLIN’s specific operational and technical requirements, with a strong emphasis on flexibility in building configuration, adaptable layouts, fast delivery timelines, and full customisation of the space. CTP CTP was selected following a pitch process and was considered a trusted partner thanks to its experienced team and proven ability to deliver complex, large-scale developments efficiently, end-to-end.

The final decision was driven by CTPark Bucharest West’s competitive advantages, including its strategic location, developed infrastructure, flexibility, and long-term growth potential, as well as the quality of the park’s onsite amenities and integrated services. From an operational perspective, the chosen solution delivers clear benefits, including cost-efficient operations, proximity to Bucharest, and direct access to major road infrastructure, with immediate connectivity to the A1 motorway.

Beyond standard specifications, the project integrates a series of advanced technical features designed to support operational efficiency and safety. These include multiple loading chambers for equipment configured according to the client’s layout; a dedicated passenger car parking area with separate circulation and direct connection to the main building via an elevated walkway, which eliminates the interaction between pedestrians and truck traffic; and enhanced fire protection systems aligned with the latest regulations. This further demonstrates CTP’s capacity to deliver tailored, growth-ready real estate solutions that support the long-term operational and strategic objectives of its clients.

Located at the western edge of Bucharest near the city’s most densely populated area, CTPark Bucharest West offers excellent workforce access and optimal conditions for last-mile logistics. The park benefits from direct connectivity to the A1 motorway—Romania’s main transport corridor—while metro stations such as Păcii and Preciziei are within a short driving distance, supporting efficient employee access. The park also features onsite amenities such as a canteen, medical facilities, green areas, and CTP’s state-of-the-art Clubhaus park community centre, creating an efficient and attractive working environment for clients.
