In November, the Crestyl development group fully launched its new Dornych project in the vicinity of Brno's main railway station. At the end of October, the old shopping center closed for good, which is now being cleared out and is awaiting gradual demolition. This will begin in December with the ancillary buildings, and the main building will then be demolished in January. Its demolition will take four months, during which preparatory work for the next construction will also begin. The new Dornych project of the Crestyl group will then open in 2027 and offer a freely accessible public space flanked by several smaller buildings. The lower floors of the new buildings will be reserved for shops and services, while the upper floors will house a hotel, a clinic, rental housing and offices.

Well-being: how can the work environment contribute to improved mental health?

Give them a pleasant working environment and they will be more willing to stay longer, finish the job and spend time away from home. And it makes sense. A happy colleague/employee equals better work ethic, results, engagement, willingness to stay longer, but it also translates into mood and relationships within the team.
