New flats and offices will be built near Opatov in Prague, and construction will begin next year
The Nový Opatov project by developer Finep and real estate company Starochodovská will offer 414 flats intended for personal and cooperative ownership, as well as rental housing. Offices on a total area of 34,900 m2 are also to be established at Chilská Street in Prague 11. In addition to those traditional locations, it will also offer shared coworking spaces.
Areas of 8,400 m2 are reserved for civic amenities and services.
“In the first half of this year, we will obtain a zoning decision and start building next year,” estimates Finep’s CEO Tomáš Pardubický.
According to him, it could be done in five years. “The project will be phased, one stage is based on 100 to 150 apartments, plus 10,000 square meters of office space. So we expect plus or minus three stages, “said Pardubický.
Nový Opatov is the result of several years of land negotiations and a two-year territorial study. “A number of public discussions took place within it and 500 to 800 comments were incorporated,” says Pardubický.
According to the developer, half of the territory of the new center of Opatov will consist of greenery and water areas.
“The new park along Bartůňkova and Starochodovská streets will be as big as Charles Square. It will connect to other nearby green areas, especially the Central Park, “describes Pardubický. The greenery should also be used on the flat roofs of buildings.
A key part of the project is to be a 3,000 m2 square, surrounded by shops, restaurants, cafés and sports venues. Underground parking should provide all parking in the area. The author of the design of Nový Opatov is the architectural studio acht led by the architect Václav Hlaváček.
