UBM Development Czechia prepared a special event for the education of the general and specialist public "Open Days" in the residential projects Arcus City and Timber Prague. These are guided tours, during which it is possible to view unique apartment buildings made of CLT panels equipped with modern technologies installed in individual apartments and houses. Guided tours take place every working day from Monday to Friday, the start is always at 1:00 p.m. Those interested meet at the sales center at the project site, in Hasilova Street, Prague - Řeporyje. The Timber Praha apartment buildings with BREEAM Excellent ecological certification and the most energy efficient category A are part of the Arcus City project. The future owners will move into the newly created neighborhood in the fall of 2024. The Arcus City residential complex offers a total of 278 residential units with layouts of 1+kk to 4+kk and five retail units. Residents have already moved into 150 apartments, and with the approval of buildings G, H, I and J, K, L, M in the summer months of 2024, the implementation of the project will be completed. The sale of the project is handled exclusively by the real estate agency Lexxus Norton.
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.
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.
The Dornych project of the Crestyl Group, which will replace the old shopping center in the neighborhood of the Brno Central Station in the coming years, will also offer a hotel. The Leonardo Hotels network will strengthen its presence in the Czech Republic with the opening of a new lifestyle hotel, NYX Hotel Brno by Leonardo Hotels. It will open in mid-2028 and will be the group's second hotel in the Czech Republic after NYX Hotel Praha, which opened in 2017. The Dornych project will 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 rental housing and offices in addition to the aforementioned hotel. One of the buildings will be occupied by the EUC clinic.
The development company Skanska has been demolishing the brutalist Merkuria building in Holešovice for a year and a half. The demolition period is indeed atypical, and there is a good reason for it – Skanska decided on a bold plan. In place of large excavators, on-site workers try to find other uses for all the material in the building, be it furniture, blinds, iron or concrete.
With the development of work trends and a flexible approach to the working environment, coworking spaces are increasingly gaining ground in the Czech Republic. Their area grows by an average of 10-15 thousand square meters per year. Coworking spaces represent roughly 3% of all office spaces in the metropolis. In terms of square meters, Prague does not compare to Western metropolises, but within Central and Eastern Europe, this is an average value.
Every building is given strengths and weaknesses by the architect. It is necessary to design technology in such a way as to eliminate the weak points as much as possible, and on the contrary to make appropriate use of the strong points. Technologies tend to be expensive, so it is essential to make maximum use of their potential and possible synergistic effects.
The volume of investment in commercial real estate in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in 2022 was approximately 10.7 billion euros. Although this is a year-on-year decrease of only 3.3%, compared to the situation before the pandemic, it is a reduction of more than 20%. At the same time, domestic capital was the most active with a 38% share of total transaction volumes. In the first half of 2023, commercial real estate markets will remain subdued due to significantly higher financing costs and the subsequent price correction currently taking place in both CEE and many other regions. Colliers experts estimate that in 2023 investment volumes in CEE could reach between 7.0 and 10.0 billion euros. This follows from a study by Colliers, a leader in the provision of diversified professional services in the field of commercial real estate and investment management.
