7R with a key tenant in the Czech Republic

7R, a leading commercial real estate developer, has signed a long-term lease with GXO for approximately 26,000 square meters of warehouse space at 7R Park Lavičky, a modern complex being developed in a joint venture with the Czech investment fund WOOD & Company. Located on the D1 motorway connecting Brno and Prague, the Czech branch of the world’s largest contract logistics operator will develop a modern center in the facility, which will provide 3PL services to L’Oréal, supporting the beauty industry leader’s European logistics operations.

GXO is the world’s largest contract logistics operator, growing thanks to dynamic growth in e-commerce, automation, and outsourcing. GXO employs over 150,000 people in over 1,000 logistics centers with a total area exceeding 200 million square feet (approximately 18.5 million square meters). The company serves leading global brands and organizations by providing technologically advanced supply chain and e-commerce solutions that enable efficient and rapid resolution of complex, large-scale logistics challenges. GXO is listed among Fortune magazine’s 2026 World’s Most Admired Companies.

Under a multi-year lease agreement with 7R, GXO’s next logistics center in the CEE region will be built at the 7R Park Lavičky complex. The facility will be dedicated to supporting the operations of one of the world’s most recognizable cosmetics brands – L’Oréal.

7R Park Lavičky is a modern building with nearly 26,000 square meters, developed by 7R in a joint venture with WOOD & Company. The build-to-suit project will be fully customized to the tenant’s operational needs and has been designed with high environmental performance in mind. The facility will be equipped with modern energy-efficient solutions, including LED lighting with an intelligent control system and a photovoltaic installation, supporting the reduction of CO₂ emissions and lowering operating costs.

Due to the specific nature of GXO’s operations at 7R Park Lavičky, the building also includes a dedicated hazardous materials storage area, equipped with all required fire protection and safety systems.

As part of this investment, 7R also designed a new roundabout that will provide convenient access to the facility while also improving the safety of park employees and improving safety at the existing intersection. Additionally, a new public bus stop will be built.

All the implemented solutions will allow us to apply for a BREEAM Excellent certification.

“Signing the agreement with GXO is an extremely important step for 7R in the development of our business in the Czech market and confirms the effectiveness of our long-term strategy in the region.” “Acquiring such a renowned global partner is the result of the work of the entire 7R team in the Czech Republic over the past two years – from building local competencies, through a thorough understanding of the market, to developing a modern, high-quality product that successfully competes with the best industrial projects in the country. This agreement demonstrates that 7R is a reliable partner for the most demanding tenants and provides a solid foundation for the further expansion of our platform in the Czech Republic,” said Jiří Duchoň, Head of 7R Czechia.

A major advantage of 7R Park Lavičky is its excellent location, right off the D1 motorway, 50 km from Brno and 135 km from Prague. Thanks to its direct connection to the main transport artery between key Czech cities, the project enables efficient distribution of goods to most regions of the Czech Republic in just a few hours. Its strategic location near Jihlava and Velké Meziříčí also ensures access to a qualified workforce.

“The Czech warehouse and industrial market remains one of the most competitive in the CEE region, but is also characterized by very strong tenant demand. With a total modern warehouse stock of approximately 13.3 million square meters at the end of 2025, net demand reached 1.2 million square meters, representing a nearly 36% year-on-year increase. This demonstrates that tenants are still actively seeking modern, well-located, and sustainable facilities. The transaction with GXO confirms that thanks to the high quality of our projects, a flexible approach to client needs, and a very good investment location, we are able to successfully compete with players who have been present in this demanding market for years,” added Štefan Bohoš, Leasing Manager at 7R Czechia.

“We are delighted that 7R Park Lavičky has been fully leased by a high-quality operator like GXO, supporting L’Oréal’s logistics operations. This agreement confirms the high quality of the project and the continuing demand for modern logistics assets in attractive locations in the Czech market,” commented Jan Jandík, Investment Manager at WOOD & Company.

Construction is progressing according to schedule, and 7R Park Lavičky is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2027.
