Logistics facility Logport Kladno South
Over 3,000 investors were interested in investing in the Logport Kladno Poldi logistics hall. In the end, only 178 of them made it into the first investment round. Due to the high level of interest, we are now launching a follow-up project: Logport Kladno South.
Take advantage of the opportunity to co-own a logistics hall near Prague worth over CZK 100 million. The property is already built, generating income and offering investors an expected return of 12.5% per annum. The hall is fully leased for 10 years to two stable tenants - LKQ and Direct Auto Park. Rental income already represents a real return that accrues to investors. A prime location near Prague, right next to the D6 highway, where there is huge demand for logistics capacity, is contributing to the growth in the price of the property itself.

Why invest?
- Attractive expected return of 12.5 % per annum – a combination of regular dividends from rent (up to 3 % per annum) and appreciation of the hall upon sale. Over 80% of the yield is already contractually secured (thanks to rent, inflation clause, and leverage effect). This makes Logport a very conservative, low-risk investment.
- The hall is already standing and generating income – it is a revenue-generating asset without any construction-related risks.
- Stable rental income – The logistics hall, valued at CZK 106 million, is fully leased to stable companies for 10 years. The future liability from lease agreements is approximately CZK 70 million, which in itself exceeds the amount of capital that Crowdberry investors will invest in the project.
- Carefree co-ownership of commercial real estate – all operating costs and maintenance are covered by the tenant. Investors collect income without having to worry about the operation of the property.
- The location near Prague with the greatest potential – the hall is located in the most sought-after logistics area in Czechia, with direct connections to the D6 and D7 motorways and the Prague Ring Road (D0). Rents for warehouses and halls in the Prague area are among the highest in the country, and for smaller halls such as Logport, the rent per square meter is even higher than for large parks.
- Low debt and conservative structure – the project is financed by a bank loan with a low debt ratio of approximately 49% from ČSOB, which increases stability and protects the value of the investment even in the event of interest rate increases, while also offering the possibility of leveraging.
- Strong market and high liquidity – foreign investors' interest in Czech industrial buildings and warehouses has been growing steadily (several large transactions took place last year alone, e.g., Blackstone and SEGRO). Demand for modern industrial buildings in the Prague area significantly exceeds supply, which supports growth in property values and rents.
Become a co-owner of a logistics hall and invest with minimal costs in a property that already generates stable income thanks to two reliable tenants.
Hall with two tenants without break option
The logistics hall is fully leased to two tenants – LKQ, formerly Auto Kelly, whose parent company is listed on the US stock market, and Direct Auto Park, part of the Czech Direct Group. Both tenants use the hall primarily as a retail unit and partly as storage space (in the case of LKQ). This allows us to talk more about so-called semi-small business units (semi-SBUs), i.e., smaller logistics and commercial units that also fit into the immediate vicinity. The industrial zone, where we find the Logport Kladno South hall, as well as prestigious companies such as LEGO Production, building supplies company DEK, and food producer La Lorraine, gradually transitions through a retail zone into the residential area of Kladno Kročehlavy.
In general, SBUs also achieve higher rents per square meter. Thanks to the inflation clause, rent increases annually and rent payments are secured by a bank guarantee. All regular operating and maintenance costs are covered by the tenant, so investors don't have to worry about anything. The property therefore generates regular income, making this investment a significantly safer alternative to projects under construction.
Desirable location and low debt protect the value of the investment
Prague and its surroundings have long suffered from a lack of modern storage space. Approval of new construction is a lengthy process and suitable land is scarce, so vacancy rates for logistics facilities in the Prague area remain below 5 % and rents here are among the fastest growing in Central Europe. Specifically, the location of the hall in Kladno offers direct connections to the D6 and D7 motorways and the Prague Ring Road (D0) and is located near the airport, which increases its attractiveness to tenants and liquidity for future sale.
The project is financed by a conservative bank loan with approximately 49 % LTV from ČSOB, which reduces pressure on cash flow and helps protect the value of the investment even in the event of worse market scenarios.

Attractive returns from rental income and future sales
The total expected return on investment is 12.5 % per annum thanks to a combination of regular rental dividends and appreciation on the sale of the hall. The investment parameters are set conservatively – even if the market price of the property fell by 5 %, investors would still achieve a return of over 10 % per annum.
Thanks to the Crowdberry platform, investment opportunities that are normally only available to large funds or institutional investors are now open to individual investors, with a minimum investment of EUR 4,200.
Investment parameters
- Expected return: 10 to 15 % per annum, model expected return 12.5 % per annum
- Clear investment horizon: 3 to 5 years
- Expected exit: 2029
- Minimum investment: EUR 4,200 - a unique opportunity to invest in commercial real estate. The Czech industrial market is the most attractive in Central Europe for foreign investors.
- Total target amount: EUR 2,052,000
Long-term tenants, premium location, possibility of additional expansion of the hall on the existing plot by more than 3,600 m2, setting of investment parameters and the developer's experience represent solid security for investors in the event of a change in the market situation.
Investor protection
- inflation protection: the lease agreement contains an inflation clause - in the case of LKQ, according to the European index of consumer prices (HICP), and in the case of Direct Auto Park, according to the consumer price index published by the Czech Statistical Authority, thanks to which rent increases annually,
- protection against loss of rent: three-month bank guarantee from the tenant (securing rent payments) in the case of Direct Auto Park and six months in the case of LKQ,
- control over the property and its sale through the supervisory board – the majority of seats are held by representatives of the company representing Crowdberry investors,
- the possibility of dismissing the developer's executives and voting at the general meeting without the developer's votes in the event of a breach of conditions or after 66 months from the investment (investors can thus enforce the sale of the hall),
- triple-net lease agreement – the tenant pays all maintenance and operating costs, while the investor does not bear the costs of repairs for normal wear and tear.

About the developer
Risks
🟢 Tenant risk: low
The hall is leased for a period longer than the planned investment horizon. The tenants are LKQ, formerly Auto Kelly, whose parent company is listed on the US stock market, and Direct Auto Park, part of the Czech Direct Group. Both tenants use the hall primarily as a retail unit and partly as storage space (in the case of LKQ). These are therefore semi-SBUs (small business units). LKQ and Direct Group both report stable financial results. Any loss of rent, e.g., in the event of the tenant's inability to pay on time, is covered by a bank guarantee.
🟡 Market risk (exit): medium
The valuation of logistics real estate is based on the so-called prime yield, which is currently around 5,0 %. The hall is located in a premium A-class location near Prague, which has long been of interest to investors. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis shows that even with a decline in market prices of approximately 5 %, the investor would still achieve the lower limit of the target yield of around 10 % p.a.
🟢 Financing risk: low
The project is financed by ČSOB under very favorable terms, with the interest rate fixed until 2030. In the short term, the risk of interest rate increases is therefore primarily borne by the bank. The outlook for interest rates is currently fairly stable, so no significant volatility is expected. The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is a conservative 49 %, so the project is not over-indebted.
🟢 Management risk: low
After investors join, the developer will manage the project together with Crowdberry investors according to clearly defined rules. Executives nominated by the developer can only make decisions within predefined limits, and all key contracts (lease, sale, etc.) are subject to approval by investors on the supervisory board. In the event of deviations from the approved business plan or significant steps (e.g., sale of real estate, change of tenant), the consent of Crowdberry investors is required. If the managing director violates his powers or acts contrary to the interests of investors, investors have the right to dismiss him and replace him with their nominee. These measures significantly limit the possibility that the developer would manage the project incompetently or contrary to the interests of the co-owners from among the investors.
