The earth movers have arrived in Belgrade's Borca neighbourhood. Czech real estate developer CTP has started construction of CTPark Belgrade City, an industrial and logistics park that will become Serbia's largest facility — and which the developer is positioning, without ambiguity, as the country's premier logistics hub.
The scale of the statement is hard to miss. CTP, a major commercial property developer, is not simply adding another box to the map; it is staking out the biggest industrial footprint Serbia has seen to date and betting that Belgrade can anchor distribution flows for the wider region. For occupiers — parts distributors, suppliers and traders watching the Western Balkans — the message is that Serbia's offer of large, modern logistics space has just changed category.
The timing is pointed. Serbia's automotive credentials keep stacking up: China's Techron Group will open a factory producing injection-moulded conventional components for electric vehicles in the northern city of Indjija on November 18. Plants like Techron's don't run on production lines alone — they lean on warehousing, cross-docking and distribution capacity within reach of their gates. That is precisely the infrastructure CTP is now pouring the foundations for in Borca.
Zoom out and the logic sharpens. Shipbroker Intermodal reports that China's rapidly expanding automotive exports have emerged as a key driver of the car carrier trade — a business it describes as in full effect, with China once again at its centre. When Chinese suppliers follow that export wave and plant production inside Europe, as Techron is doing in Indjija, they drag a logistics footprint behind them: inbound materials, outbound components, finished-vehicle flows. A mega-park on Belgrade's edge is a wager that a growing share of that footprint lands in Serbia.
From injection-moulded EV parts in Indjija to the warehouse docks rising in Borca, Serbia's trade and logistics machine is shifting into a higher gear — and the vehicles these supply chains ultimately build are reaching buyers across the continent.
