The park, located in the province of Piacenza south‑east of Milan, will have a total planned size of nearly 200,000 sqm and forms part of CTP’s €1 billion investment plan for Italy over the next five years.

The launch marks a key milestone in CTP’s expansion in Italy, coming one year after its €241 million acquisition of VLD S.r.l., a development company with a significant landbank in prime logistics locations. Castel San Giovanni sits within one of Northern Italy’s most established logistics hubs, offering strategic access to the motorway network and major regional markets including Lombardy, Piedmont, Emilia‑Romagna and Liguria.
In addition to the completed 52,000 sqm facility, CTP is developing a 113,000 sqm build‑to‑suit building for a client in the luxury sector.

Agostino Emanuele, Managing Director of CTP Italy, said the launch demonstrates the company’s progress since entering the Italian market. “CTPark Castel San Giovanni is an excellent example of our approach to delivering new buildings for clients based on strong partnerships, property quality and a long‑term vision. It shows we are achieving what we set out to do when we entered the country almost a year ago.”

CTP’s northern Italian pipeline includes CTPark Alessandria, CTPark Novara Sant’Agabio and CTPark Padova Vescovana. Together with the recent opening of a Rome office and plans to expand into central and southern Italy, these developments reflect CTP’s long‑term commitment to building a nationwide logistics platform in one of Europe’s most important industrial markets.
