With increasing pressure on ESG, developers are looking to save energy and reduce the amount of CO2 their buildings produce. They are using a variety of technologies, such as solar panels, batteries, heat pumps and energy-saving lights. These things help, but how people use the building is also very important. Even if a building has an excellent energy rating, it can still use a lot of energy if people make mistakes. Loxone helps to correct these mistakes. It automates many routine tasks in the building, and as a result, energy costs are typically cut by up to half.
Energy savings in the management and operation of commercial buildings are becoming an increasingly important topic. Rising energy prices and the pressure for sustainability are leading owners and operators of commercial and administrative buildings to look for innovative ways to reduce energy consumption while improving comfort for users. Wilo, in cooperation with the development company Passerinvest, presents the main options and measures for achieving energy savings through the reconstruction or modernization of an office building.
After recently opening offices in India and Romania, the Czech real estate consultancy 108 REAL ESTATE is expanding into the south-eastern part of Europe - the Adriatic. Since September, a new office has been operating in Zagreb, covering the real estate markets of Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia. Despite the territorial differences, the entire region is united by the growing interest of developers and tenants - especially in the field of industrial real estate. For example, the supply of modern warehouses and production space in prospective Serbia amounts to just 1.3 million sqm, which is less than new office space.
At the gala evening of the 26th edition of the Best of Realty competition, organized by the Association for Real Estate Market Development (ARTN), the best development projects of 2024 were announced.

In November, the Crestyl development group fully launched its new Dornych project in the vicinity of Brno's main railway station. At the end of October, the old shopping center closed for good, which is now being cleared out and is awaiting gradual demolition. This will begin in December with the ancillary buildings, and the main building will then be demolished in January. Its demolition will take four months, during which preparatory work for the next construction will also begin. The new Dornych project of the Crestyl group will then open in 2027 and offer a freely accessible public space flanked by several smaller buildings. The lower floors of the new buildings will be reserved for shops and services, while the upper floors will house a hotel, a clinic, rental housing and offices.
In the third quarter of 2024, approximately 188 million euros were invested across the main real estate sectors. Although this is one of the lowest volumes in recent years, a full 100% of buyers were from the Czech Republic. The total investment volume for the first three quarters of 2024 exceeded one billion euros. There were a total of 34 transactions. Approximately half of the properties with which transactions have been carried out so far in 2024 are located outside Prague. This is according to a regular quarterly survey published by Colliers, a leading provider of diversified professional services in the field of commercial real estate and investment management.
As part of the 32nd edition of the Building of the Year competition, which is organized annually by the Foundation for the Development of Architecture and Construction, the Roztyly Plaza administrative building of Passerinvest Group was awarded the prestigious title of Building of the Year 2024. It received the title for the purity of the building's architectural and structural design and its urban concept location in the area immediately following the Krčský les. According to the jury, the building is an example of modern administrative architecture, which destroys the stereotypical ideas of the lay public about office buildings as "glass-concrete hells" taking up public space. The jury was also impressed by the building's friendliness, well-thought-out shape solution, accessibility and connection of the external and internal environment.
