Despite the significant impact of the covid-19 pandemic on economic activity, the European commercial real estate market is well placed to recover. According to the current forecast of CBRE, the world leader in commercial real estate services, investment volumes in the Czech Republic and the entire EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) will return to pre-pandemic levels by 2022.
The year 2020 is almost over, but Penta Real Estate still managed to break one of the records on the real estate market. It sold the Churchill Square office complex near the main railway station in Prague for more than four billion Czech Crowns. This is despite the fact that the company's representatives previously claimed that they will no longer be getting rid of buildings in the center of Prague.
The total volume of transactions in the commercial real estate sector in the Czech Republic should reach 1.2 billion euros this year. This is a 63% decrease compared to last year, which was above average successful. If we also take into account the complications that the coronavirus pandemic has brought to the economy, the result is relatively satisfactory and testifies to the continuing appetite of investors. In addition, we can expect a further increase to almost double this year's volume next year. It is also positive that real estate prices still remain stable.
The AFI City office building 1 on the city brownfield in Prague 9 near the Kolbenova metro station is full of interesting architectural and design elements. One of them is the artistically crafted gear motif, which occupies the entire main wall of the reception hall, and is the first thing that welcomes visitors. The work by Czech artist Ivan Komárek is a reminder of the rich industrial past of Vysočany, which was the pride of Czech industry at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries: the most important companies at the time included the Czech-Moravian Machine Factory, Kolben's Electrical Factory and a plant of the engineering company Breitfeld-Daněk, later connected with the world-famous ČKD, but also the carmaker Praga or the Avia Aero aircraft factory.
As Covid-19 squeezes demand for offices, shared workspace provider IWG (IWG) is set to place its Jersey-based subsidiary, Regus plc, into insolvency. The move is designed to send a signal to landlords that unless they are prepared to lower their rents, IWG is willing to walk away from its lease obligations. IWG says that it has resorted to insolvency measures because “the Covid-19 pandemic is a black swan event and it has severely impacted our business and presented us with unforeseen challenges"
Masaryčka connects. With such a slogan, Penta Real Estate, a development company of the Penta financial group, presented new visualizations and details of the first phase of the project of the same name.
Desks are declining in offices, and informal seating is increasing. However, with the reduction of working seats, the demands on space are growing. Working spaces are being vacated and have a larger work area due to safety clearances.
