Re-creating a world of entrepreneurship that is not just for profit - this is how the vision of the new CEO of Impact Hub, Petra Sokol Maňasová, could be summarized. She took over Impact Hub with experience from the non-profit and business worlds. She has worked on projects focusing on socially beneficial activities, social issues and renewable energy, and it is precisely by returning to topics with a broader impact, impact, that she wants to return to the first network of coworking spaces in the Czech Republic.
Falling interest rates and loose monetary policy in the eurozone and Central and Eastern European countries are boosting investor confidence in the region’s commercial real estate market. However, the situation varies from country to country. For example, the Czech National Bank recently paused its rate cut cycle due to an upward revision of its inflation forecasts for this year.
The construction of the new Dornych project by the Crestyl development group in the vicinity of Brno's main train station is progressing to the next phase. After the demolition of the old shopping center was completed, the last rubble was removed at the end of April. 90% of the demolished material will be recycled. A full 100% of the raw materials from the excavation of the construction pit will then be reused. Some of the material will be used directly in the construction of the new project. Its completion is scheduled for the end of 2027. Dornych will offer a freely accessible public space flanked by several smaller buildings. The lower floors of the new buildings will be reserved for shops and services, while the upper floors will house a hotel, clinic, rental housing and offices.

Golden Prague can boast another “golden” building. This time, however, it is not a traditional monument, but an innovative approach to modern construction. The Dunaj Palace, a newly renovated office building in the heart of the historic center, has achieved the internationally recognized LEED “Gold” certificate, which is synonymous with high ecological standards. The almost century-old building on the corner of Národní and Voršilská streets has undergone a sensitive renovation in recent months under the leadership of Zeitgeist Asset Management and with the support of Prague’s conservationists. The prestigious certification was achieved thanks to the active cooperation of all project participants and the company Grinity, which led the entire process as a LEED consultant.
One of the landmarks of the Prague metro station Budějovická is changing hands. With the sale of The Square building, the investment company of the Amundi group completes the successful sale of projects from its 1st real estate fund. The new owners are the Czech real estate group Mint, which has previously managed the building for Amundi Realitní fond KB, together with private investors. The financing of the transaction was provided by Komerční banka. The new owners plan to invest in the building from the beginning with the aim of improving the building's energy efficiency and increasing its long-term attractiveness for tenants.
The company Profil Nábytek from Humpolec will supply complete interior equipment and furniture to the new Horácká arena in Jihlava.

Similar to Prague, Brno also recorded only a slight year-on-year increase in the supply of modern office space in 2024, with the total market size increasing by only 8,600 square meters. The same was true in Ostrava, where the construction of modern office buildings has been subdued in recent years, with exceptions, and the average annual completed area over the past 5 years is 5,800 square meters. Despite the lower supply, both cities represent an attractive alternative for investors - rental prices are stable and lag behind the Prague market. In Brno, at the end of 2024, the rent for premium office space in a modern design was EUR 17 per square meter per month, while in Ostrava it ranged between EUR 14 and 14.50. Other regional cities, especially Plzeň, Hradec Králové and Olomouc, could attract investors' attention in the coming years thanks to new projects and improving transport infrastructure. This is according to the latest analysis of the regional office space market by Colliers.
