One of the tallest buildings in Prague will disappear. The broadcasting tower of the Central Telecommunications Building (Ústřední telekomunikační budova) in Prague's Žižkov district will be demolished in January 2023, including the adjacent buildings. The demolition work is being prepared by the developer Central Group, which owns the entire technology complex in Olšanská Street and is now preparing a residential project there. The current design of the 100-metre towers with apartments by architect Eva Jiřičná has not yet been approved by the city, writes E15.cz.

The largest logistics hall in the Czech Republic will rise near Cheb (in the westernmost region of the country). Accolade and Panattoni are already intensively preparing its construction in the local industrial zone.

The name of the tenant (an unspecified distribution company) has not yet been disclosed by either party. Lucie Mareš Heřmanovská, a spokeswoman for the Accolade company, informed Property Forum about the project. 

Considering how Prague and its population will grow in the next few years, developer Central Group is planning schools and kindergartens.

Penta Group has expanded its real estate portfolio in the centre of Prague by another building.

The structure of Wing's Liberty office building has been completed on schedule, bringing the project one step closer to completion in 2023. Located on Könyves Kálmán körút in District 9, the multifunctional office building will host a dual-branded ibis-Tribe hotel after its completion.

Panattoni is developing its latest project tailored for a global brand. A leading global logistics company is to operate on 32,000 sqm of the BTO facility, which is being built in Robakowo near Poznań. Construction work started in May, and in late 2022 or early 2023, the client will gain access to the property. Over 20,000 sqm of the space is designated for the automatic sorting of parcels. The project is to be BREEAM certified and will feature, among others, a 900 kWp solar farm and a heat pump.
