CTP appoints Karel Stransky as Group Business Development Director

CTP, Europe’s largest listed developer, owner, and manager of industrial and logistics properties by gross lettable area (GLA), is pleased to announce the appointment of Karel Stransky as its new Group Business Development Director. Working closely with Remon Vos, CEO of CTP, Karel will be bringing his extensive global advisory experience across the I&L real estate sector to further drive CTP’s business growth ambitions by overseeing, supporting and adding further structure to business development teams in the individual countries CTP operates in.

Over the course of his 35-year real estate career, Karel has advised on transactions of over 3.5 million sqm of office, production and logistics space including leases, land and building acquisitions, sales and leasebacks. Globally, Karel’s advisory experience spans most of Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa as well as Northern and Latin America and China.

Karel began his career in urban and environmental planning and construction before moving to Colliers where he headed up the company’s Corporate Industrial Advisory Hub, responsible for the Group’s I&L real estate activities. Here his work included everything from consulting through to lease and freehold acquisition, portfolio management and building disposal. Through optimising cost and driving revenues while maximising sustainability, facilitating operational efficiency and carefully managing risk, Karel has a strong track record of adding value to major industrial and logistics operators across the globe.

Remon Vos, CEO, CTP Group said:

“I first met Karel in 1998 when he helped shape our first project, CTPark Humpolec. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with Karel on many deals. Besides business, we also share passions for biking and travel. Karel brings a great deal of experience and seniority to our team. He will provide exceptional support to both our existing and potential clients, helping to deliver everything they need from their industrial and logistics real estate.”

Karel Stransky, Group Business Development Director at CTP said:

“I couldn’t be prouder to be joining CTP. I have watched it grow from its very first project in 1998, into a leading European real estate business today with client interests, sustainability and community at its heart. The long-term fundamentals for Europe’s logistics sector are highly positive, but more than ever modern multinational businesses need space that is customised to their needs. I look forward to working closely with all our clients to keep understanding how CTP can meet their needs now and long into the future.”
