by Property Forum | Report

Property Forum is proud to present the second edition of its annual list recognising the 50 most influential people in Czech and Slovak real estate. Following the successful launch of the inaugural ranking last year, the publication once again highlights the individuals shaping the future of these two dynamic markets. The ranking, together with all other regional editions, is now available on the Property Forum website.


This year’s selection once again highlights individuals who are making a lasting impact across the region’s built environment. From developers and investors to lenders, advisors and asset managers, the list reflects the people behind the transactions, projects and strategies shaping the future of both markets.

The ranking was compiled using a broad range of criteria, including company performance, involvement in landmark deals and developments, strategic vision, commitment to innovation and sustainability, and contribution to the wider industry dialogue. Regional influence, international ambitions and visibility within the market were also taken into account.

Putting together the second edition proved no less challenging than the first. The competitive landscape continues to shift as new names emerge, businesses expand across borders and expectations around leadership continue to rise. The result is a list that reflects not only influence today, but also the ambition and momentum driving the Czech and Slovak real estate sectors forward.

We hope this publication will once again serve as both a reference point for the industry.
