An analysis by CBRE, a world leader in commercial real estate services, shows that despite the ongoing covidu-19 pandemic, new brands are still coming to the domestic retail market, in unprecedented numbers. There were 29 of them last year, which represents a year-on-year increase of 26%. This result is even significantly better compared to the ancestor year 2019. The main event last year was the Prague premiere of the Irish clothing and accessories store Primark on Wenceslas Square, and from the perspective of the High Street the opening of the Versace Italian luxury fashion boutique in Pařížská Street. With regard to the emerging trends, the opening of the so-called phygital store (from the English words physical and digital) of the partner companies eobuv.cz and Modivo in Smíchov, Prague, can also be considered a turning point. The new store, offering a wide range of products in the field of fashion, footwear and accessories, uniquely combines the advantages of the stone shop with the comfort of e-shops and is a harbinger of shopping in the near future.
Despite the negative impact of the covid-19 pandemic on economic activity, the European commercial real estate market is on the verge of recovery. According to the analysis "EMEA Real Estate Market Outlook 2022" by CBRE, the expected volume of investments will return to pre-pandemic values by the end of 2022. This will also be reflected in the commercial real estate market in the Czech Republic.
Demand for commercial real estate in the country is still strong. The Czech market is established as highly sought after and provides investors with stable returns. It is well resistant to asset value fluctuations and supported by strong foreign and domestic capital.
The increase in new office space is the lowest in five years this year and the situation will be similar next year. The winner is a hybrid model combining work in the office and from home.
UBM Development Czechia, which completed and approved the Astrid Offices office building in Prague's Holešovice in May, sold it to the PORTIVA investment group.

Since December, it has also become the headquarters of UBM Development Czechia, which has moved here from its offices in Liben.
The real estate division of the PPF Group has experience with the international company Hines from London and Moscow.

More than 40% of all office real estate on the domestic market is certified by one of the internationally recognized systems that confirm its sustainability: the British BREEAM or the American LEED. In this respect, the Czech Republic, together with other countries in the CEE region, ranks among the champions of the whole of Europe - the average is around 20%. Much has been written about the positive impact of certified buildings on the health and well-being of employees, minimizing environmental impacts and saving operating costs. However, one question remained unanswered: how is the certification of office buildings really reflected in their performance, ie prices per square meter of rented space and occupancy? CBRE, the world leader in commercial real estate services, is now providing the key answer. It is based on an analysis of almost 22,000 leases concluded in the last five years in 12 European countries, including the Czech Republic.
