Similar to Prague, Brno also recorded only a slight year-on-year increase in the supply of modern office space in 2024, with the total market size increasing by only 8,600 square meters. The same was true in Ostrava, where the construction of modern office buildings has been subdued in recent years, with exceptions, and the average annual completed area over the past 5 years is 5,800 square meters. Despite the lower supply, both cities represent an attractive alternative for investors - rental prices are stable and lag behind the Prague market. In Brno, at the end of 2024, the rent for premium office space in a modern design was EUR 17 per square meter per month, while in Ostrava it ranged between EUR 14 and 14.50. Other regional cities, especially Plzeň, Hradec Králové and Olomouc, could attract investors' attention in the coming years thanks to new projects and improving transport infrastructure. This is according to the latest analysis of the regional office space market by Colliers.

The fourth quarter of 2024 was the second quarter in a row when no office project was started in Prague. It was also the period when only one project was completed, 100Yards in the city center. The vacancy rate remains very low, increasing by only approximately 0.2 percentage points year-on-year. The total volume of modern office space at the end of 2024 reached 3.96 million square meters, which is less than in Warsaw or Budapest. The highest achievable rent in the city center is currently EUR 29.50 per square meter per month. 2025 could bring slightly higher construction activity, thus moving the market again. This is according to a regular quarterly survey by Colliers.
