The operation of contemporary offices shows that the intersection between work and personal life is increasing. The personal life of employees has an ever-increasing influence on companies' decisions about choosing a suitable office. On the other hand, employees are considering working corners at home for a comfortable home office or close commuting distance to work.
In the Czech Republic, there is a growing interest in so-called mixed-use projects that connect offices, shops, housing and various forms of social enjoyment. Unfortunately, their construction still lags behind the surrounding countries. The reason is primarily the very long building permit process. While in Poland, for example, a permit for a new building takes only a few months, here it usually takes years.

It will also offer clients a bistro with a chef who will use fresh ingredients directly from the roof terrace with a garden. The concept of modular event spaces is also used in the Dock.
The first quarter of this year brought a revival of the Prague office market. Growing demand may encounter a lower availability of new premium spaces in the coming years, as only a smaller number of new projects are currently under construction. This can also affect the currently stabilized price level of rents. Serviced office centers and projects that comply with ESG principles are on the rise. This results from a quarterly market survey carried out by the Colliers company.
Anyone who regularly moves around Prague's náměstí Republiky may have recently noticed an increase in construction activity at the somewhat run-down corner house adjacent to Kotvá.

It will become the vibrant center of Prague and at the same time connect the impassable areas between Florence and Hybernská Street. This is promised by the company Penta Real Estate, which has completed the rough construction of a complex designed by London studio Zaha Hadid on a neglected brownfield near Masaryk railway station.
