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.

During this period, it will bring a total of 180,000 square meters of office, residential and retail space to the market.

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.

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.
