In the region of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE-6 countries), a significant increase in the GDP growth rate is expected this year, from less than 1% last year to approximately 2.5%. According to experts from the Colliers company, which belongs to the top in the provision of diversified professional services in the field of commercial real estate and investment management, activity will therefore begin to increase in the commercial real estate market in this region in the second half of the year. However, the condition for this development is a reduction in interest rates in the eurozone. At the same time, retail parks will continue to be the main engine of growth. Other trends and forecasts published by Colliers for the CEE region in 2024 will include:
Europe's commercial property market is showing signs of recovery, with rents expected to rise and yields to stabilize. The Czech Republic may follow this trend with a slight delay, but the positive outlook on the real estate market for 2024, as well as the increased demand for quality and sustainable premises, signal the time for action for investors and tenants.
One of the largest development areas in Prague, Rohanský ostrov, was for years associated exclusively with the name of billionaire Luďek Sekyra. He was backed by other investors, but his development group was talked about as the one that would build a new district on the spot for tens of billions. That is changing now. The development company J&T Real Estate acquired part of the territory exclusively for itself. It will build a thousand apartments, offices and shops on the spot for 15 billion.
UBM Development AG will implement the construction of the Timber Marina Tower project, a 113-meter high office building with a wood-hybrid structure in Vienna's Handelskai district. At the same time, the company progressed with the Timber View residential project and the Timber Peak office building in Mainz, and with the preparation of the LeopoldQuartier district in Vienna. UBM plans to become the largest European developer of ecological buildings with a wooden structure. In the Czech Republic, the parent company's vision is followed by UBM Development Czechia, which is building the Timber Praha residential project, the first wooden multi-storey apartment buildings in the capital. Compared to ambitious high-rise building projects abroad, however, Timber Praha's energy-sustainable houses have a maximum height of 12 meters, due to restrictions arising from domestic legislation.y
The largest provider of private flexible offices and coworking is expanding to include the Dock location in Libni in Prague 8. The Thirteenth Center will offer a total of 350 office spaces, event spaces, private terraces and over 20 meeting and other rooms for concentrated work to increase productivity on an area of 3,190 m2. Scott.Weber in the Dock will provide an extraordinary number of relaxation zones in the spirit of well-being to ensure physical and mental health, well-being and thus the overall satisfaction of the workers. It will also offer clients a bistro with a chef who will use fresh ingredients directly from the roof terrace with a garden. The concept of modular event spaces is also used in the Dock.
Scott.Weber Workspace, which operates flexible serviced offices, coworking and event spaces, is expanding. It will offer 830 office spaces in the new locations The Park and Port7.
The vacancy created by the demolition of a vacant apartment building on the corner of Milady Horákové and Koliště streets in the center of Brno will be filled in two years by an administrative building with a roof garden. The development company Trikaya named the project Landmark and wants to start construction in the first half of this year. This was stated by a representative of the development company for ČTK.
Coworking and flexible offices are one of the few industries that have been significantly boosted by the coronavirus pandemic. Although HubHubu, the operator of two shared spaces in Prague, had its occupancy reduced to 50 percent during the strictest closures, this year it is reporting that it is practically occupied. One of the reasons is the hybrid work style, to which a significant part of companies have reoriented. Instead of startups, flexible offices are increasingly being rented by larger companies as well.
