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

CTP, Europe’s largest listed developer, owner and operator of logistics and industrial real estate by gross leasable area, has signed an agreement with LEROY MERLIN Romania, 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.

Cristina Manea, CTP Romania Business Developer, says: “This agreement reflects our ability to truly adapt to our clients’ needs and to deliver solutions that go beyond standard industrial space. 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 prove itself as a strategic location for companies looking to optimise their supply chains and expand in Romania.”

Ionuț Vasile, Leader Supply Chain LEROY MERLIN Romania, says: ”Meeting our customers’ needs requires dependable, high-quality logistics infrastructure that supports efficient and flexible operations. This partnership will help us further optimise our logistics and fulfillment capabilities, providing the capacity and adaptability needed to maintain strong service standards and respond effectively to changing market demands.”
