Completed and ongoing construction
In the 3rd quarter of 2024, the total supply of office space in Prague increased slightly to over 3.95 million m². This increase was due to the completion of the reconstruction of the River Office House building in Prague 7, which added 1,400 m² to the market. At the time of completion, 80% of these spaces were already leased.
16% of the total office pool is located in the center of Prague, but the largest share is in the wider center (60%). The remaining 24% are located in the outer and peripheral parts of the city. The most developed office market remains Prague 4 (958,200 m²), Prague 5 (678,100 m²) and Prague 8 (647,000 m²).
In the 3rd quarter, the trend returned again when no new office projects were started. The total area of offices under construction now amounts to 166,600 m² and most of them are located in Prague 5 (72%) and Prague 4 (12%). More than 51% of these spaces were already pre-leased during construction.
Of the total volume of office projects under construction in Q3, the vast majority (139,700 m²) are not expected to be completed until 2027. A single project of 3,500 m² is expected to be completed this year, underscoring the very limited volume of new space , which will be launched on the market in the near future.
Inquiry
In this year's 3rd quarter, the total rental activity reached 132,600 m² and grew by 55% year-on-year. Compared to the previous quarter, demand decreased by 39%, but still exceeds the five-year average of the 3rd quarter, which is 96,600 m².
Renegotiations in this quarter dominated the entire Prague office market and accounted for more than 61% of the total demand. New leases and expansions reached 36% and contracts for space under construction represented just 1%. Subleases of already occupied premises amounted to only 2%.
Overall, the most active part of the city was once again Prague 4, where signed transactions reached a total of 43,800 m² (more than 33% of the total demand for this quarter). However, the majority (68%) of transactions here were renegotiations. The second most active sub-market was Prague 8 with a 20% share of total demand, closely followed by Prague 5 (19%).
Net rental activity showed a significant quarter-on-quarter decrease of 63%. However, after deducting the record transaction of ČS*, the decline would be only 10%. In a year-on-year comparison, net demand showed an increase of 14%. Manufacturing companies, public or non-profit institutions and technology (IT) companies leased the most new offices in this quarter. Completed and ongoing construction
