Warehouse Rental Plzeň: Strategic point between Prague and Germany
Why Is Plzeň One of the Most Sought-After Warehouse Markets in Western Czech Republic?
Plzeň has long ranked among the most desirable locations for warehouse rentals in the western part of the Czech Republic. Thanks to its proximity to the German border and relatively short distance from Prague, it offers an ideal connection for both distribution centers and production operations. The region benefits from access to the D5 motorway (part of the European route E50), enabling efficient goods transport both internationally and within the Czech Republic.
Plzeň is also attractive from a labor market perspective – the region provides a stable and skilled workforce, which is essential for companies in e-commerce, automotive, or FMCG sectors. As a result, commercial real estate in the Plzeň region is leased rapidly, with demand exceeding supply—especially for newly completed projects with ESG certifications.
