Construction activity is beginning to move to the desolate southern part of Prague's Smíchov. Developer Sekyra Group is launching the second stage of its extensive project for the new Smíchov City district here. Within a few years, three administrative buildings should be built here, including the new headquarters of Česká spořitelna and a hotel. The private project for a total of 35 billion crowns will be followed up by the city and the Railway Administration, which are working here to modernize the railway and build a new transport terminal. Public investments will reach another fifteen billion crowns.
Intelligent energy management systems and the integration of green technologies can contribute to a more sustainable future for the office building market.
High demand and a lack of new projects caused a decrease in the vacancy rate of Prague offices, which currently stands at 7.26%. The volume of new construction and renovations was approximately 143,600 square meters at the end of Q2 2023, and the total market size was 3.85 million square meters. Reference rent prices have not changed in any way compared to the previous quarter, however, in connection with ESG and modern standards, the price of office equipment is increasing. It can easily exceed 1,000 euros per square meter. That's according to a survey by Colliers, a leading provider of diversified professional services in commercial real estate and investment management.
The operation of contemporary offices shows that the intersection between work and personal life is increasing. The personal life of employees has an ever-increasing influence on companies' decisions about choosing a suitable office. On the other hand, employees are considering working corners at home for a comfortable home office or close commuting distance to work.
Working in coworking offices, i.e. in shared spaces, is gaining more and more popularity. Not only is the interest of companies in the volume of rentals of such capacities growing, but also the total share of coworking spaces on the Prague office market.
The construction of no office building has been started in the Czech capital for a whole year, and none was completed during the past quarter. Of course, these are not the only current parameters of the Prague office market, but according to the regular report of the Prague Research Forum, they say a lot about its state.
The Office of the Year competition annually evaluates the best investments in office space and the attractiveness of the environment for employees. The current seventh year, in which ten winners shared the award, showed trends in contemporary workspaces.
The company Colliers, which belongs to the top in the provision of diversified professional services in the field of commercial real estate and investment management, has prepared a unique price map of office space in Prague. The map indicates that for the highest rents, offices are rented at centrally located metro stations such as the Museum or Náměstí Republiky, while the lowest rents are around Petřiny or Náměstí Míru stations.
