Penta Real Estate, in cooperation with Prague and the city districts, has announced an architectural competition to design the form of four blocks between the main road and the Florenc bus station. Architectural teams can apply until December 13, and the winning designs will be published next fall. Representatives of Prague and Penta announced this on Friday. The Penta investment group also owns land near the nearby Masaryk railway station, where it completed the Masaryčka administrative building, which was awarded by experts.
At the gala evening of the 26th edition of the Best of Realty competition, organized by the Association for Real Estate Market Development (ARTN), the best development projects of 2024 were announced. In individual categories, awards were given to projects that are exceptional in their contribution to the location, architectural and urban concept, quality of implementation, or their approach to sustainability and innovation.
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.
After years of depression, the domestic real estate market is starting to revive. In recent months, the Komerční banka building on Wenceslas Square, the Palác Pardubice shopping center have already been sold, and there is even a gem for sale in Na Příkopě Street: the Myslbek commercial and office building.
In three years, the surroundings of Smíchovský nádraží in Prague will change beyond recognition. Today, there is a huge construction site where construction is taking place in parallel under the direction of private and public investors. Their representatives officially presented the next stage of the Smíchov City project on Wednesday.
The office market is slowly recovering from a deep depression. Managers are looking to more modern workplaces not only to meet future sustainability requirements, but also to entice employees from their homes back into the workplace. Škoda Auto recently moved to new offices, large media houses are changing their addresses, and Česká spořitelna, for example, is already looking at a modern building in Smíchov. Some authorities and public institutions are also looking for a new seat. However, many companies prefer the reconstruction of existing buildings.
Prague will buy the company VN 42, which owns an office building on the corner of Wenceslas Square and Štěpánská Street, from Komerční banka (KB) for approximately 3.5 billion crowns. The city councilors approved it. The municipality plans to move officials from the Škoda Palace in Jungmannova street to the building, where it is leased until the end of March 2028.
The rebranding and reconstruction of the building on Karlov náměstí concerns retail and office spaces and architectural modifications with the installation of a new logo and brand identity.
