US real estate company TPG has created a partnership Czech industrial park Contera in order to start investments in Central Europe.

“In forming the venture, we are partnering with a highly experienced and proven local team to pursue opportunities in a region and sector that continue to experience strong growth trends,” commented Michiel Celis of TPG Real Estate Partners. “We look forward to making this a successful, long-term partnership and hope to invest significantly more capital as we source new projects and execute on an exciting pipeline of opportunities.”
