ČEZ has chosen the Smíchov City project by Sekyra Group for its new headquarters. The company has already started its construction. ČEZ will purchase the new headquarters, which will include three separate buildings with a total area of 44,000 m², from Sekyra Group upon completion in 2027. In addition to domestic architects, a major Swedish architectural studio also participated in the design of the buildings. ČEZ will be located next to the large campus of Česká spořitelna, which is currently under construction. Smíchov City is the largest urbanization in central Prague since the creation of Vinohrady, not only as a residential district, but also as a significant administrative location - business hub. Thanks to these significant investments, Sekyra Group holds a dominant position in the Prague office market with a roughly 80% share in the segment of construction of administrative buildings. Smíchov City is being transformed into a full-fledged district with a balanced share of residences, administration and leisure areas. The total costs of the Smíchov City project will reach 50 billion crowns, of which 35 billion will be private and 15 billion will be public investments, which will be directed primarily towards infrastructure.

Home Credit is catering to clients for whom personal contact is still important when negotiating new products. In March, it opened two new branches - in the Korso Karviná shopping center and in Fontána in Teplice. Although more and more clients are concluding consumer loans online, in 2024 this was already more than 40% of negotiated contracts, brick-and-mortar branches still play a key role for many not only for negotiating products, but also as the first step and gateway to the digital world of finance.
Similar to Prague, Brno also recorded only a slight year-on-year increase in the supply of modern office space in 2024, with the total market size increasing by only 8,600 square meters. The same was true in Ostrava, where the construction of modern office buildings has been subdued in recent years, with exceptions, and the average annual completed area over the past 5 years is 5,800 square meters. Despite the lower supply, both cities represent an attractive alternative for investors - rental prices are stable and lag behind the Prague market. In Brno, at the end of 2024, the rent for premium office space in a modern design was EUR 17 per square meter per month, while in Ostrava it ranged between EUR 14 and 14.50. Other regional cities, especially Plzeň, Hradec Králové and Olomouc, could attract investors' attention in the coming years thanks to new projects and improving transport infrastructure. This is according to the latest analysis of the regional office space market by Colliers.

Po období rostoucích výnosových měr v letech 2022 a 2023 se „prime yieldy“ v roce 2024 stabilizovaly, a trh tak našel novou cenovou rovnováhu. Vyplývá to z pravidelného kvartálního průzkumu společnosti Colliers.
