Brno and Ostrava office markets have revealed contrasting trends among regional cities during H2 2025, according to the Regional Research Forum.
In Brno, one office building was completed in H2 2025 - Cerit III – Botanická Living Lab (10,800 sqm) by developer Infond. More than 92,300 sqm of office space remains under construction, with nine projects in the pipeline. The total modern office stock reached 715,700 sqm, with Class A buildings accounting for 72% of the total.
Technology companies dominated demand in H2 2025 in both net and gross volume. The largest leasing transactions included a pre-lease by a technology sector occupier in Ponávka A4 (4,600 sqm), followed by a new occupation by a manufacturing company in Vlněna H (4,200 sqm) and a pre-lease by Gymnation in Dornych (2,200 sqm).
"Brno is entering a new era as a rising innovation hub, where modern workplaces increasingly cluster around emerging districts shaped by local, forward-thinking developers. The office demand base is evolving, driven by business services and R&D functions that view Brno as a strategic alternative to larger Central European markets," says Jana Vlková, Head of Workplace Advisory & Office Agency at Colliers.
The vacancy rate in Brno increased to 14.4%, rising by 2.7 percentage points year-on-year. Prime headline rents stabilised at €17.00 – 18.00 per sqm per month. In contrast, Ostrava showed more stability with no new office projects completed in 2025 and only one project under construction - the Václav multifunctional building (3,000 sqm). The vacancy rate remained stable at 11%, with prime headline rents unchanged at €14.00-14.50 per sqm per month.
