Prague, as its offices and companies report it

Hrotano Czech, the investor behind the new Smíchov City quarter, is donating 120 million crowns to the city for transport infrastructure and a new primary school; Prague's city assembly approved accepting the gift in September. The school for 580 children on former railway land is expected to cost about 1.16 billion crowns and, according to the mayor of Prague 5, could open by 2030; the city took over its construction from the district in July. Beyond the gift, the investor will build two parks, a boulevard with shops and a public space by the Radlická kulturní sportovna, whose design will be decided by an architectural competition by the end of 2027.

The Office for the Protection of Competition upheld how Prague 1 awarded the renovation of Kampa park; the decision is final and the district can sign the contract. The Konsorcium park KAMPA won with a bid of 51,899,816 crowns excluding VAT, about 16.7 million less than the approved budget. The paths keep their current layout, and the project brings new trees and shrubs, Prague-style lanterns, a fence along the Čertovka, drinking fountains, misting points and a shaded playground. The park will not close as a whole; the district will publish the timetable once it is agreed with the contractor.

The city has given Prague 5 a grant of 60 million crowns for a building with a gym and four classrooms at the Pod Žvahovem primary school in Hlubočepy, and 35 million for a two-classroom pavilion at the Beníškové nursery school in Košíře. In Košíře the V Cibulkách primary school for about 330 children is already under construction for more than 450 million crowns excluding VAT, with the first pupils due in autumn 2027. For Barrandov, home to almost 30,000 people, the district presented a concept for a secondary school for 480 students in 16 classes with a sports hall open to the public; it has already acquired the site by Högerova, K Barrandovu and Štěpařská streets.

The Office for Government Representation in Property Affairs has obtained a building permit to renovate the former Klar Institute for the Blind in Prague's historic centre, built between 1906 and 1909. The building once housed a physical culture centre with a swimming pool and Prague's first public sauna, and from 1993 a district prosecutor's office; it is being renovated for the Office of the Government. Detailed construction documents and an open tender for a contractor still come first, and the announcement gives neither a start date nor a cost. The Office of the Government wants to open the building to the public as widely as possible for exhibitions and educational programmes.

MINT rezidenční fond has bought the newly completed building E at Vysočanský mlýn from Metrostav Development, with 306 flats totalling 11,500 square metres. It now owns 547 flats on the former Odkolek bakery site, more than half of the development. It will furnish the studio and one-bedroom flats and offer them for rent from January 2027 through its Mint Living platform; the 241 flats from the first phase have been let since 2024 with occupancy of around 98 per cent.

Poland completed 208,800 flats in 2025 and Czechia 33,430; per thousand inhabitants that is 5.59 against 3.06, roughly 83 per cent more. Housing starts were 212,400 against 35,819. If Czechia built at the same rate, ARETE says, it would add about 61,000 flats a year instead of 33,000. Logistics is the other way round: Czechia has 1.26 square metres of modern warehouse space per person, Poland 1.02.

The developer Crestyl and the investment group WOOD & Company are preparing a quarter by the Šárka nature park in Vokovice with 18 apartment villas holding 224 flats, four family houses, a nursery school and space for shops and services. The project has a valid building permit and the former industrial and logistics site has been demolished. The first phase of 98 flats from 62 to 165 square metres will start at the turn of the year, completion is expected in 2029 and the total investment is to exceed four billion crowns.

The Industrial Palace at the Výstaviště exhibition grounds reopens after the 2008 fire and four and a half years of reconstruction. One-hour guided tours by Prague City Tourism for up to 30 people cost a symbolic 91 crowns, after the year the palace was built; the first batch is sold out, and new dates on 29 and 30 September and 1 and 2 October have been on sale since 15 September. The first event in the restored central hall will be the DesignBlok Talks conference on 6 and 7 October, and during the DesignBlok festival from 7 to 11 October ticket holders can also go inside. From 24 September a free exhibition in front of the palace presents the crafts that restored it.
