Office space in Karlín is among the most sought-after in Prague. Successful companies, especially in the fields of information technology and communication, are moving their headquarters here. Now, the major Czech communications group KNOWLIMITS is also planning to move here.
Development and investment group Crestyl appointed Andrej Zveržhanovský as its CFO for the Czech Republic in February. In this key position, he became part of Crestyl's management, where he will be responsible for the financial management of the company's Czech activities. This was previously the responsibility of the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) of the entire Crestyl group, Jozef Ďurík, who will be freed up by Andrej's appointment and can thus focus more on the group's international financial development.
The development and investment group Crestyl today presented its new project in Prague's Pankrác. In the spirit of modern trends, the building, simply called BOKA Pankrác, is designed as a multi-purpose project that connects commercial premises and a supermarket with high-standard offices. BOKA Pankrác will replace two existing old buildings right next to the Kotorská tram stop between the Pankrác and Pražského povstání metro stations. Construction of the project should begin in the third quarter of this year, with completion scheduled for two years later. The total investment is CZK 1.5 billion.
The fourth quarter of 2024 was the second quarter in a row when no office project was started in Prague. It was also the period when only one project was completed, 100Yards in the city center. The vacancy rate remains very low, increasing by only approximately 0.2 percentage points year-on-year. The total volume of modern office space at the end of 2024 reached 3.96 million square meters, which is less than in Warsaw or Budapest. The highest achievable rent in the city center is currently EUR 29.50 per square meter per month. 2025 could bring slightly higher construction activity, thus moving the market again. This is according to a regular quarterly survey by Colliers.
The investment group Českomoravská Nemovitostní (ČMN), the third-largest office space landlord on the Czech market, together with the NEMO fund, has completed the acquisition of a portfolio from the NOVA Real Estate property fund valued at approximately 5 billion CZK. The transaction includes 5 office buildings with a total rentable area exceeding 37,000 m² and 11 retail parks covering an area of 72,000 m². With this acquisition, the ČMN group will expand its business into the retail segment.
The investment group Českomoravská Nemovitostní (ČMN) confirms the continued high demand for quality office spaces in Prague. Red Bull has become a new tenant in the prestigious Churchill Square II office complex, managed by ČMN, further increasing the already high occupancy rate of the building. This transaction underscores the attractiveness of Prague 2 and the high demand for quality offices.
With increasing pressure on ESG, developers are looking to save energy and reduce the amount of CO2 their buildings produce. They are using a variety of technologies, such as solar panels, batteries, heat pumps and energy-saving lights. These things help, but how people use the building is also very important. Even if a building has an excellent energy rating, it can still use a lot of energy if people make mistakes. Loxone helps to correct these mistakes. It automates many routine tasks in the building, and as a result, energy costs are typically cut by up to half.
In November, the Crestyl development group fully launched its new Dornych project in the vicinity of Brno's main railway station. At the end of October, the old shopping center closed for good, which is now being cleared out and is awaiting gradual demolition. This will begin in December with the ancillary buildings, and the main building will then be demolished in January. Its demolition will take four months, during which preparatory work for the next construction will also begin. The new Dornych project of the Crestyl group will then open in 2027 and 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, a clinic, rental housing and offices.
