7R, a developer of high-quality warehouses, and EQT Exeter, a global real estate investment manager, will jointly develop a 56,000-square-meter logistics project consisting of two buildings strategically located along the D8 highway serving the Greater Prague area.
EQT EXETER PARK PRAGUE D8 LUZEC comprises two modern warehouses with floor areas of 44,000 sq m and 12,000 sq m, offering a total of 68 loading bays and a 12-meter clearance height. The buildings will be constructed in accordance with ESG best practices. Provision has been made for the installation of solar panels and heat pumps.

EQT Exeter will handle the financing, and both companies will jointly manage the leasing process.
– The speculative development is already attracting significant interest from tenants. This is 7R’s second investment in the Czech Republic, following 7R Park Lavičky near the D1 highway. By combining modern design with eco-friendly solutions, it sets a new standard for industrial spaces while reflecting the innovative and sustainable approach characteristic of 7R,” explains Chris Zeuner, Co-CEO of 7R.
The property, located north of Prague in the town of Lužec, offers convenient access to the capital as well as key Czech and international markets. It is just 25 minutes from the center of Prague and close to Dresden (101 km), Pardubice (122 km), Plzeň (125 km), Brno (238 km), and Wrocław (280 km). “The park is exceptionally well-connected, which aligns with our goal of developing high-quality logistics facilities in key locations that meet both the operational and sustainability needs of our clients,” says John Toukatly, Partner & CIO at EQT Exeter Europe.
EQT EXETER PARK PRAGUE D8 LUZEC was designed in accordance with BREEAM Excellent standards and features a range of sustainable solutions, such as energy-efficient LED lighting, electric vehicle charging stations, and biodiverse green spaces.
