Last year it became clear that Prague is not only a dynamic European city, but also the second most active market for flexible offices after London. Metropolises such as Warsaw, Amsterdam and Madrid followed at a distance. This success only confirms the growing attractiveness of flexible offices in the region. According to the real estate consulting company CBRE, the world leader in the field of commercial real estate services, the positive trend will continue this year as well.
The company Savills is monitoring the changes in the approach of companies in relation to renting office space on the Prague market. Current trends are renegotiations, subleases, serviced offices, and there is renewed interest in reconstructed buildings. At the same time, second-hand spaces appear in the search engine of companies, where it is possible to take over a completed and often attractive interior, realized by another company. These changes are happening as a result of insufficient office construction in Prague, which is at its lowest level in at least the last decade. However, even such transactions can have a positive impact within the ESG strategy of companies - some existing buildings after reconstruction can meet the current demanding requirements for economy. According to the Savills survey, green rental contracts will become a completely common part of rental contracts by 2026.
Colliers, a leading professional services company in the field of commercial real estate and investment management, has released its forecasts for the Central and Eastern Europe region for 2024. The GDP growth rate is expected to increase and therefore the activity in the commercial market. What are the other key points and trends from the Colliers predictions?
In the region of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE-6 countries), a significant increase in the GDP growth rate is expected this year, from less than 1% last year to approximately 2.5%. According to experts from the Colliers company, which belongs to the top in the provision of diversified professional services in the field of commercial real estate and investment management, activity will therefore begin to increase in the commercial real estate market in this region in the second half of the year. However, the condition for this development is a reduction in interest rates in the eurozone. At the same time, retail parks will continue to be the main engine of growth. Other trends and forecasts published by Colliers for the CEE region in 2024 will include:
