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.
UBM Development Czechia prepared a special event for the education of the general and specialist public "Open Days" in the residential projects Arcus City and Timber Prague. These are guided tours, during which it is possible to view unique apartment buildings made of CLT panels equipped with modern technologies installed in individual apartments and houses. Guided tours take place every working day from Monday to Friday, the start is always at 1:00 p.m. Those interested meet at the sales center at the project site, in Hasilova Street, Prague - Řeporyje. The Timber Praha apartment buildings with BREEAM Excellent ecological certification and the most energy efficient category A are part of the Arcus City project. The future owners will move into the newly created neighborhood in the fall of 2024. The Arcus City residential complex offers a total of 278 residential units with layouts of 1+kk to 4+kk and five retail units. Residents have already moved into 150 apartments, and with the approval of buildings G, H, I and J, K, L, M in the summer months of 2024, the implementation of the project will be completed. The sale of the project is handled exclusively by the real estate agency Lexxus Norton.
The office market is slowly recovering from a deep depression. Managers are looking to more modern workplaces not only to meet future sustainability requirements, but also to entice employees from their homes back into the workplace. Škoda Auto recently moved to new offices, large media houses are changing their addresses, and Česká spořitelna, for example, is already looking at a modern building in Smíchov. Some authorities and public institutions are also looking for a new seat. However, many companies prefer the reconstruction of existing buildings.
The rebranding and reconstruction of the building on Karlov náměstí concerns retail and office spaces and architectural modifications with the installation of a new logo and brand identity.
The Dornych project of the Crestyl Group, which will replace the old shopping center in the neighborhood of the Brno Central Station in the coming years, will also offer a hotel. The Leonardo Hotels network will strengthen its presence in the Czech Republic with the opening of a new lifestyle hotel, NYX Hotel Brno by Leonardo Hotels. It will open in mid-2028 and will be the group's second hotel in the Czech Republic after NYX Hotel Praha, which opened in 2017. The Dornych project 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 rental housing and offices in addition to the aforementioned hotel. One of the buildings will be occupied by the EUC clinic.
The development company Skanska has been demolishing the brutalist Merkuria building in Holešovice for a year and a half. The demolition period is indeed atypical, and there is a good reason for it – Skanska decided on a bold plan. In place of large excavators, on-site workers try to find other uses for all the material in the building, be it furniture, blinds, iron or concrete.
With the development of work trends and a flexible approach to the working environment, coworking spaces are increasingly gaining ground in the Czech Republic. Their area grows by an average of 10-15 thousand square meters per year. Coworking spaces represent roughly 3% of all office spaces in the metropolis. In terms of square meters, Prague does not compare to Western metropolises, but within Central and Eastern Europe, this is an average value.
