Do you remember the filing cabinets of the ’90s? There would be entire rooms lined with the metal behemoths.

Developer AFI Europe has completed the first commercial building in the newly built AFI City district on a large brownfield in Prague 9 - Vysočany. The elegant AFI City 1 office tower, with a height of 75 meters, has become a new dominant feature of the rapidly developing location around the Kolbenova metro station. Behind the distinctive façade with an atypical lattice and a pearl effect, there are 17,300 m2 of modern offices, complemented by a retail unit, storage facilities and an underground car park with a capacity of more than 300 parking spaces, a bicycle shed and showers. The construction work was carried out in accordance with the principles of sustainability, so the building has already received the green pre-certification BREEAM Excellent. The CMC architects studio is behind the project design, Gemo was the general contractor for the construction and OM Consulting provided construction supervision. AFI Europe's total investment exceeded 40 million euros.
The coronavirus pandemic significantly affected not only the functioning of society as a whole, but also changed the current rhythm in office centers.
