When you think of the development of Karlín, you probably think of the period at the turn of the millennium, when investors led by Serge Borenstein started to transform the gray inner periphery of the city into a new lively district. The development was also accelerated by the floods in 2002, which, although they were a disaster for many, meant new construction possibilities for Karlín.
The landmark building is being extensively renovated to high design standards that put people at the center.

The five largest rental transactions on the Prague office market last year were renegotiations, i.e. renegotiations of existing contracts. It is a route that companies whose leases are coming to an end are increasingly preferring before moving to new premises. The high costs of office equipment, the so-called fit out, which Prague has the highest in the region of Central and Eastern Europe and comparable to, for example, Paris, also contribute to this. Last year in Prague, they averaged 1,252 euros per square meter, which is an 8% year-on-year increase. The real estate consulting company Cushman & Wakefield provides an analysis of office equipment costs in its annual EMEA Fit Out Cost Guide.
Construction companies and developers look forward to this date with great uncertainty. From July 1 this year, building authorities will decide on all constructions according to the new building act.

The elegant organic curves of the new administrative building ORGANICA, which is behind the development company CONTERA, flow with the rather harsh urbanism of Ostrava. The floor plan of this building from the pen of Schindler Seko architects resembles a four-bladed propeller and thus refers to the history of the region. The facade gives the impression of a cog wheel that seems to fall out of the mining towers and grows through the greenery.
Regional cities in the Czech Republic are becoming an increasingly interesting alternative for investors looking for cheaper, yet high-quality office space outside of Prague. That's according to the latest survey by Colliers, a leading provider of diversified professional services in commercial real estate and investment management. According to him, net realized demand in Brno grew by 43% year-on-year, in Ostrava by 127%. At the same time, prices are kept at a level that is one third to one half lower than in Prague. Even more interest in regional cities could be aroused by a better offer of serviced offices, which are of particular interest to established companies on the market in connection with the development of hybrid work and the introduction of hub & spoke or flex & core models.
The development company Skanska has been demolishing the brutalist Merkuria building in Holešovice for a year and a half. The demolition period is indeed atypical, and there is a good reason for it – Skanska decided on a bold plan. In place of large excavators, on-site workers try to find other uses for all the material in the building, be it furniture, blinds, iron or concrete.
