The current economy has to deal with a number of negative factors affecting not only our personal but also our working life. The Covid pandemic and its consequences, the difficult geopolitical circumstances caused by the war in Ukraine, the skyrocketing energy prices, steeply rising inflation – all of this has an effect on the office market as well. Today, their tenants are faced with the question of how big offices they will need in the era of the "new normal" - and also in what buildings in order to be able to pay the rent in the rented premises without problems (1). In the considerations of tenants, the price-quality ratio is increasingly coming to the fore. When applying this key criterion, it turns out that class "B" offices, although their share of the market for administrative space in Prague is significantly lower than class "A" offices, are definitely not Cinderella. On the contrary – for many tenants, they are now the ideal solution to their needs. The example of the successful Nagano Park administrative complex in Prague 3 can be used to show why "B" offices are and will be in vogue.
The assets of the WOOD & Company Office Sub-Fund will now be supplemented with their tenth office building. The eight-storey modern building offers 7,500 sqm of leasable office space. Green Point is the third Prague office property held by the WOOD & Company Office Sub-Fund. Since its inception in 2017, it has delivered an average annual return of 11.65% to investors, making it one of the most successful real estate funds in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The metro station in Prague's Letňany is often given as a model of how transport infrastructure in the city should not be built. And anyone who has ever stepped out of those vestibules in the middle of the fields would probably agree with such voices.
There are 200 percent more flexible offices in Prague than five years ago. Scott.Weber Workspace, the largest operator of flexible and shared offices (so-called coworking) in the metropolis, recently opened premises in the Blox center in Dejvice. Flexible offices currently make up 2.7 percent of the 3.75 million square meters of office space in Prague, and further growth is expected. This follows from the analysis of the real estate consulting company JLL and information from Scott.Weber Workspace.
In the spring, despite the turbulent situation on the construction market, developer Crestyl began construction of four buildings that are part of the new Hagibor district in Prague, next to the Želivského metro station - two office and two residential buildings. Completion of the construction is planned for 2024. The very first two administrative buildings in this location will offer a total of 31,000 m2 of space for rent. Of this, almost 12,000 m2 will be occupied by the Czech News Center media house, which will move its headquarters here. The newly built residential buildings Gamma and Delta will be connected to the first two apartment buildings of the Hagibor project, which were approved in May. Gamma offers 138 apartments of all sizes, each with a balcony or terrace. The Delta building, newly bought by the investment company Invesco Real Estate, will then provide apartments for rent.

- Up to 70% of employees in offices are not satisfied with the acoustic conditions in their workplace. Unfortunately, it is precisely these spaces that are a challenge for architects and designers in terms of acoustics. Because it's not an office like an office. Other acoustic conditions prevail in the call center and others, for example, in a bank branch. Fortunately, ISO standard 22955 was created last year, which specifically addresses this issue. It clearly defines acoustic conditions suitable for different office environments according to their use. In addition, it provides clear instructions on how to achieve these acoustic values.
