Developer Panattoni in collaboration with investor Accolade has completed demolition work at the former Kovošrot site in Prague's Dolní Měcholupech and begun construction of the first phase of Panattoni Business Park Prague I.
The industrial park will consist of three halls with a total floor area of approximately 44,800 sqm in the first phase. The total area of the developed territory is almost 140,000 sqm. Business Park Prague I will offer modern industrial spaces with emphasis on energy efficiency, low operational emissions and careful integration into the surrounding environment. The project includes heat pumps, a photovoltaic power plant on the building roof and charging stations for electric vehicles. The first building aims for Breeam New Construction certification at the highest Outstanding level.
"At Panattoni we have extensive experience with preparing complex sites. In Dolní Měcholupech this isn't just about building a new hall, but about the complete transformation of a locality that was burdened by industrial history for many years. Completing demolition work is a significant milestone for every brownfield. Now we can breathe new life into the locality in the form of a modern and sustainable industrial zone," says Jan Andrejco, Regional Development Director, Panattoni.
A significant part of the project will be greenery and ensuring better connection of the area to its surroundings. Approximately a quarter of the territory will be dedicated to green areas that will contribute to a more pleasant environment for employees and residents of surrounding districts. The locality will be well accessible by car and public transport. A cycle path is also planned to run through the area. As part of the project, improvements to the traffic light-controlled intersection of Černokostelecká and Průmyslová streets worth almost €15 million have already been implemented to improve traffic flow.
Completion of the first building in the park is planned for February 2027. The subsequent second phase should be completed in 2029.
