MLP S A : Christoph Mantler Joins MLP Group Team

MLP Group, a leading developer active on the European warehouse property market, is bolstering its presence in Austria with a strategic appointment. Having assumed the role of Senior Project Manager, Christoph Mantler will provide support in planning, coordinating, and monitoring the implementation of construction projects.

Christoph Mantler joined MLP Group in early July this year, taking on the role of Senior Project Manager. He will be responsible for managing Austrian investment projects from conception to the delivery of completed properties for use.

Christoph Mantler has extensive technical expertise in the execution of construction projects. He graduated from the Vienna University of Technology with a major in civil engineering as well as earning a master's degree in construction management and business administration from the PEF Private University of Management. He honed his skills in a range of engineering studios, progressing from engineer to project manager and leading numerous large-scale projects in Austria and neighbouring countries. Most recently, he served as a Senior Project Manager for the client at DLH Management Austria GmbH, where he was responsible for the construction of Industrial Campus Vienna East, Austria's largest logistics park.

"Joining the MLP Group team is a tremendous opportunity for me to work as a project manager and leverage my knowledge and experience in the delivery of innovative projects. I highly appreciate the chance to contribute to the development of sustainable and forward-looking construction projects," says Christoph Mantler, Senior Project Manager at MLP Group.

"We have gained an exceptionally experienced project manager in Christoph Mantler. His addition strengthens our team and perfectly complements our collective expertise. Christoph's knowledge and extensive experience will help us achieve our ambitious goals and successfully implement innovative projects driving MLP Group's robust growth," emphasises Peter Falb, Chief Country Officer Austria at MLP Group.

Germany and Austria are priority geographies for MLP Group's expansion. Presently, the developer has a portfolio comprising five business and logistics parks in Germany and one business park in Austria. With more projects in the pipeline, the Group plans to strengthen and expand its presence especially in the regions where it has already established a foothold, i.e. the Ruhr area, Brandenburg and Hessen land. In Austria, the spotlight in 2024 will be on imminent completion of MLP Business Park Vienna, strategically situated near the heart of the capital city. Handover of the completed space is scheduled for the end of this year.

In keeping with its build & hold strategy, MLP Group retains completed logistics parks in its portfolio and manages them. All projects undertaken by MLP Group are distinguished by very attractive locations of the logistics parks, application of built-to-suit solutions, and support given to tenants during the lease term.
