by Property Forum | Report

Property Forum is proud to launch the first edition of its annual list spotlighting the 50 most influential people in Czech and Slovak real estate—a recognition of outstanding leadership, innovation and impact across these two dynamic markets. The publication, along with all other editions from across CEE, is now available on the Property Forum website.


From developers and investors to advisors and financiers, this curated list highlights those who are shaping the future of the built environment in Czechia and Slovakia. The individuals featured were selected based on a wide set of criteria, including company performance, involvement in landmark projects, strategic foresight, visibility in the market, and their contribution to elevating professional standards.

The diversity of backgrounds, business models and achievements made the selection process particularly challenging. But it is precisely this variety that reflects the strength and resilience of the region’s real estate sector.

This inaugural edition marks a milestone in recognising the depth of talent and ambition driving both markets forward. We hope it serves not only as a snapshot of influence today, but also as inspiration for the leaders of tomorrow.
