Flexible offices will grow by 161,303 m2 in the EMEA region in 2023. The main drivers of this growth were mainly large global companies, such as HSBC, KPMG and Microsoft, which decided to transform their work environment and adopt flexible solutions. This trend also worked as a catalyst for the transformation of traditional coworking spaces into corporate-class workplaces. This follows from the Flexpansion study by Colliers.
FETTERS, a specialist in project management in the construction industry, joins the ranks of developers with the Panorama Braník project. The 14-storey multi-functional building on the border of the residential development in the southern part of Prague's Braník will offer a total of 77 apartments with layouts from 1+kk to 5+kk and 750 m2 of commercial space on more than 4,300 m2. The public sale was launched on September 2, with completion scheduled for late 2026.
From July 1, 2024, the new Building Act also applies to ordinary buildings. In the long term, it will speed up and simplify construction management. It waives unnecessary technical requirements, which will make housing construction cheaper. The building permit is obtained by the builder in one place online in the builder's portal. Along with the new construction law, the related implementing regulations, including the modern decree on construction requirements, also came into force. The law also provides for a transitional period until the end of June 2027. Until then, it will be possible to use the documentation that the builder developed before the new building law came into effect.
A new survey by Colliers has shown that employees between the ages of 44 and 59 are under the most pressure in the workplace. Roughly half of them (44%) state that they cannot handle their agenda during standard working hours, i.e. within 40 hours a week. The results of the survey also show that more than half of all respondents would vote for a shortened working week. The young generation Z (people under 27) and the so-called Boomers (people 60+) gave this answer most often.
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 international law firm CMS and the European Investment Bank (EIB) have rented office space in the newly renovated Palác Dunaj building on Národní třída. The total occupancy has now reached almost 80%. Only one floor of offices and retail units on the ground floor of the building remain vacant, though negotiations with potential tenants are already underway here as well.
Skanska's latest and largest administrative project in the Czech Republic, Port7, received the prestigious LEED Platinum certification in the latest v4 version. According to available information, the project received the best rating of all commercial projects built last year in the Czech Republic. Buildings D and E even ranked among the best in the ranking of the most sustainable office buildings in Europe certified in 2023. Demanding environmental criteria were followed both during construction and now during the building's operation. Skanska was able to obtain 3 platinum certifications at once in the campus certification scheme.
The new look of Vítězné náměstí in Prague's Dejvice will begin to take shape thanks to the winning proposal from the consortium of studios Benthem Crouwel Architects, Opočenský Valouch Architekti, Rehwaldt Landscape Architects, PUDIS and AED. This architectural quintet joined forces to create a well-thought-out design for the fourth quadrant, which Prague residents call nothing else than "Kulaťák".
