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.

Palác Dunaj to welcome prestigious majority tenants. Zeitgeist Asset Management is behind the rapidly-progressing reconstruction of this iconic constructivist building in the centre of Prague on Národní třída. It has concluded a rental contract for 2,600 sq m of premium space with the European Commission Representation and European Parliament Liaison Office. The new premises will become a hub to obtain up-to-date information on what is happening in the EU, for gatherings to discuss European issues, and to further learning on the European Union. The interactive "Europa experience" centre to the general public will be a new feature, with the aim to bringing Europe closer to citizens in an attractive and engaging way.
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.
After three quarters this year, the Prague office market already exceeded the volume of transactions from the covid years 2020 and 2021. The year-on-year increase in gross and net realized demand, i.e. new contracts and their extensions, amounted to 38 percent. Office vacancy has fallen by 0.3 percentage points since the start of the year to 8.1 percent, and demand for flexible space is growing. Prices will increase in the coming year, which, according to representatives of construction and real estate companies, will be reflected in inflationary clauses in contracts and energy prices.
CBRE, a world leader in commercial real estate services, summarizes the results of an extensive comparative analysis focused on the benefits of green certifications in office leasing. On a sample of 58 million m2 of office space and 44,500 lease agreements concluded in 18 European countries, including the Czech Republic, it shows the value that green certifications such as BREEAM or LEED bring to owners of administrative properties. Based on a comparison of several key indicators, CBRE has shown that the average vacancy rate in certified buildings is almost 2% lower than in non-certified competition, while the price per square meter of leased space is, on the contrary, 5.5% higher. The comparison of individual European markets is also interesting, from which the Prague one emerges as mature. Owners of sustainable buildings here achieve very good results in the long term.
