CTP’S REMON VOS EARNS 2025 CEEQA AWARD FOR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT IN REAL ESTATE

Remon Vos, creator and leader of CTP, one of Europe’s dominant industrial and logistics developers, will attend the CEEQA Gala in Warsaw on 21 May to accept the CEE & SEE property sector’s most prestigious industry recognition, the CEEQA award for Lifetime Achievement in Real Estate.

The award is presented each year to an individual company leader whose achievements have made an influential, transformative and durable contribution to the sector’s emergence and growth since its engagement with the private capital markets following the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Like many successful real estate developers in the CEE markets, Remon Vos was initially drawn to the region by the opportunities emerging in Czechoslovakia in the mid-1990s, while working in the manufacturing sector. He quickly discovered a shortage of modern storage facilities to meet his company’s needs, so he decided to build one himself.

Thirty years on, CTP has grown into a dominant industrial and logistics developer and investor in Europe with more than 13 million sqm under ownership across 10 markets in CEE and Western Europe and a GAV of €16 billion. The company employs nearly 900 people across its countries of operation, is a market leader in six countries, and has ambitious goals that include reaching €1 billion in rental income by 2027 and expanding to 30 million sqm of leasable area by 2030.

We are honoured and proud to be welcoming Remon to this year’s CEEQA Gala to present him with this important industry recognition. He joins a pantheon of sector heroes engaged in building the future of Central & Eastern Europe and Southeast Europe.
