ZDR Public Ends 2024 with Czech Retail Park Acquisition

The year 2024 was a notable period of growth for ZDR Investments, marked by strategic acquisitions and portfolio diversification. Over the past 12 months, the company completed nine acquisitions across four European countries, further strengthening the portfolios of all ZDR funds. While the first acquisition in January focused on the qualified investor fund, the final acquisition of the year enhanced the ZDR Public fund.

The latest addition—and the 71st property in ZDR Investments’ portfolio—is the Velké Meziříčí retail park. This commercial property, offering 4,500 m² of leasable space, became part of the ZDR Public fund in late December 2024, marking the fund’s second portfolio expansion of the year.

Completed in 2024, the Velké Meziříčí retail park reflects modern design and meets ZDR Investments’ high sustainability standards. Each retail unit is equipped with an independent heat pump, ensuring efficient energy consumption. The parking area features four electric vehicle charging stations, and photovoltaic panels are currently being installed on the roof to further enhance the property’s eco-friendliness.

As with most retail parks, the largest area is occupied by a supermarket. Additional tenants include popular retail chains such as Jysk, TEDi, Super zoo, Teta drogerie, and Traficon, offering products that cater to everyday consumer needs. The property boasts an average lease term (WALE) of 7.7 years, demonstrating strong tenant interest in this type of retail space.

“Our investment strategy is focused on acquiring properties that combine stable returns with long-term growth potential. Retail parks like the one in Velké Meziříčí meet the needs of both consumers and tenants, allowing us to create an attractive and sustainable investment product. Building a diverse and robust portfolio across promising European markets remains key to our success, and we look forward to continuing our expansion into additional European markets next year,” said Radek Hladký, Partner at ZDR Investments.

With the acquisition of the Velké Meziříčí retail park, the total value of properties within ZDR Investments’ funds has surpassed CZK 15 billion
