The new look of Vítězné náměstí in Prague's Dejvice will begin to take shape thanks to the winning proposal from the consortium of studios Benthem Crouwel Architects, Opočenský Valouch Architekti, Rehwaldt Landscape Architects, PUDIS and AED. This architectural quintet joined forces to create a well-thought-out design for the fourth quadrant, which Prague residents call nothing else than "Kulaťák".
Investment group Penta, whose development activities are led by billionaire Marek Dospiva, bought from České drah long-term unused plots of land in Prague's Florenci, next to the Prague highway. Thanks to this, it can continue the project of two buildings designed by the Zaha Hadid Architects studio, which it completed this October near the Masaryk station. In addition, Penta plans to acquire additional parcels in the locality, thanks to which it would control the territory from Masaryk station to Pernerova Street in Karlín.
One of the most watched buildings in Prague in recent years is gradually being completed. In September, Masaryčka was approved, cafes, restaurants and shops opened, and this week the last protective film was torn off from the gold coating on the facade of the building. But the work on the Penty Real Estate project under the investment colossus Marko Dospiva does not end. In the summer, a publicly accessible viewing terrace with a café is to be opened on the roof.
Gold wedge towering above the new square. A monumental building in a lucrative place in the center of Prague, where the abandoned brownfield was until recently. And inside the tenants of known names. One of the most watched Prague buildings in recent years has gained in charge and begins to move the first tenants.
The consulting company BNP Paribas Real Estate recorded a fifth higher demand for new offices in Prague in Q3 compared to 2020. New leases accounted for 58% of the total result in the period from July to September; in the remaining cases, existing contracts were renegotiated. Also thanks to these positive signals, the implementation or preparation of several large-scale projects with a total volume of 0.5 million m2 of new office space, which should grow in Prague by 2025, continues.
A consortium of Penta Real Estate, Kaprain Group and Sekyra Group bought land from the University of Chemical Technology (VŠCHT) in the western part of Vítězné náměstí in Prague 6 for an amount just over one billion crowns. It acquired a total of 20,122 square meters, ie the majority of the buildable area of the so-called fourth quadrant of Vítězné náměstí between Evropská and Jugoslávských partizánů streets. Penta said this in a press release.
On one of the most lucrative plots in the Czech Republic, right next to Prague's Masaryk Railway Station, the cranes of the Penta Investments investment group are already tirelessly delivering material and the local construction site is living its own life. In front of passers-by, the skeleton of one of the most discussed buildings of decades is slowly moving towards the sky.
The Penta group closed the pandemic year of 2020 with a net profit of 134 million euros, while total assets of the portfolio companies reached 11.1 billion euros. Despite the pandemic, Penta invested 419 million euros in Capex for the development of its companies and projects. The group employs more than 43,000 people and has paid a total of 243 million euros in income tax and other social contributions.
