Budova Masaryčky, located in Prague, has recently garnered attention and accolades at the CEEQA awards in Warsaw, which are considered the „Central European real estate championship.“ The building competed against rivals from 18 countries and stood out with its architectural design by Zaha Hadid Architects, particularly attracting visitors, photographers, and architecture enthusiasts with its golden facade.
The success of Masaryčka extends beyond its architectural appeal. From the beginning, the building generated significant interest among potential tenants for office and commercial spaces, with a large portion of the building being leased well before completion. It set new Czech records for commercial rent prices, showcasing its commercial viability.
Petr Palička, the CEO of Penta Real Estate in the Czech Republic, expressed his satisfaction with the transformation of the area around Masaryk Railway Station into a vibrant neighborhood. The positive reception from industry experts, citizens, and visitors to Prague affirms the exceptional nature of Masaryčka and its contribution to the local community.
Masaryčka has also captured the attention of international journalists, with the New York Times highlighting the building as a must-visit tourist destination in Prague. The complex, consisting of two buildings, offers a mix of retail stores, dining options, and corporate headquarters, totaling 4,700 square meters of commercial space and over 22,000 square meters of office space.
The preparation for Masaryčka spanned a decade, requiring over 300 stamps before construction could commence. The building, completed last fall at a cost of 2.5 billion Czech crowns, features a striking facade that cost half a billion crowns to create. The facade, inspired by railway tracks and adorned in gold to pay homage to Prague’s towers, was crafted by the Prague-based company Sipral, producing over eight thousand square meters of facade pieces.
Masaryčka stands as a testament to innovative architecture, commercial success, and urban revitalization. Owned by Penta Investments, the building represents a significant contribution to Prague’s skyline and cultural landscape, attracting visitors and residents alike to its modern and dynamic environment.
