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.
