Why Moravian-Silesian is a Prime Location for Your Business

According to the Business Properties and Brownfields publication by CzechInvest, the Moravian-Silesian region, along with Ústí nad Labem and Central Bohemian regions, has emerged as a top area for strong investor interest. This surge in appeal is largely driven by the successful transformation of former brownfields into state-of-the-art industrial and logistics zones, offering unparalleled opportunities for businesses seeking modern, well-connected premises.

Key Developments and Modern Industrial Parks

Leading this wave of development is the DMC Paskov site, a remarkable example of industrial regeneration. Developed by Demaco on the grounds of the former Paskov coal mine, this location boasts direct access to the D56 motorway and a crucial rail siding connected to a transhipment terminal. A testament to its appeal, Lenzing Biocel has already secured 13,000 sqm of space in a new industrial hall within the DMC Paskov site.

Beyond DMC Paskov, the region offers a portfolio of other successfully transformed brownfields now operating as modern industrial zones. These include Contera Park Ostrava D1 and the adjacent development area Hrušov, Ostrava City Logistics Zárubek, and P3 Ostrava Central. These developments collectively underscore the region's commitment to providing high-quality, strategically located industrial and warehouse solutions.

Unrivaled Transport Infrastructure and Future Potential

A significant draw for businesses considering the Moravian-Silesian region, particularly Ostrava, is its exceptional transport infrastructure. As Ondřej Míček, Head of Industrial at Savills (which brokered the Lenzing Biocel lease), highlights, “Ostrava benefits from very good transport infrastructure. We have an international airport, and we are located on the Baltic–Adriatic rail corridor.” This robust network ensures efficient logistics and connectivity for national and international operations.

Looking ahead, the region’s potential for inland waterway transport presents an exciting prospect. Plans for Poland to make the Odra river navigable up to the Czech–Polish border could grant Ostrava direct access to a river port, further enhancing its multimodal logistics capabilities and cementing its position as a truly interconnected European hub.
