Penta Real Estate, in cooperation with Prague and the city districts, has announced an architectural competition to design the form of four blocks between the main road and the Florenc bus station. Architectural teams can apply until December 13, and the winning designs will be published next fall. Representatives of Prague and Penta announced this on Friday. The Penta investment group also owns land near the nearby Masaryk railway station, where it completed the Masaryčka administrative building, which was awarded by experts.
Construction activity is beginning to move to the desolate southern part of Prague's Smíchov. Developer Sekyra Group is launching the second stage of its extensive project for the new Smíchov City district here. Within a few years, three administrative buildings should be built here, including the new headquarters of Česká spořitelna and a hotel. The private project for a total of 35 billion crowns will be followed up by the city and the Railway Administration, which are working here to modernize the railway and build a new transport terminal. Public investments will reach another fifteen billion crowns.
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.
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.
