CTP, Europe's largest publicly traded developer and owner of industrial and logistics properties, has appointed Romano Tafaj as a new Business Developer for its Austrian operations. Tafaj will oversee strategic land acquisitions as well as the leasing and contractual negotiations for existing properties.

CTP has ambitious plans for growth in Austria, and Tafaj's extensive experience and robust network are seen as crucial to advancing these initiatives. The company has successfully completed several large-scale projects in Austria, including a 50,000 square meter business park in Bruck an der Leitha, which houses renowned tenants such as Toyota, DHL, and Frigologo. This site aims to meet the highest ESG standards and seeks to achieve the 'BREEAM Excellent' sustainability certification.
