Walter
Between 2015 and 2018, the Aviatica, Mechanica I-II, Walter and Dynamica Penta building complex was gradually completed . All of the Big Five's buildings offer efficient space, modern design, high quality standards and unique architecture. It goes without saying that they use the latest trends in applied technologies with regard to environmental friendliness. Individual buildings received national and international awards, as did the entire Waltrovka project. Among the most significant are the CEE Quality Awards for the best development project in Central and Eastern Europe.
For a new owner, Penta RE will provide building management services on a temporary basis.
Penta acquired the former Walter factory in autumn 2012 by Red Group, an Irish developer. Over the next year, nearly 170,000 square meters will complete a new neighborhood with 700 housing units and family houses, a large park, civic amenities including a kindergarten. Waltrovka is followed by a project that prepares Penta RE along Radlická Street towards Prague. The multifunctional building will once again count on office buildings, which will separate the residential area with 400 residential units from the busy street just as it is the case with Waltrovka. After its completion, the last remains of the original large brownfield, delimited by metro stations Jinonická- Radlická, will disappear.
