An apartment building will be built on the site of the former Transgas building. This is one of the most valuable lands in Prague
Both developers are now completing the study in collaboration with the architectural studio Jakub Cígler Architects, who have already worked on the project for previous owners. PSN bought the land from HB Reavis last year for 870 million crowns.
According to Pavel Streblov, Penta Real Estate’s director for commercial construction, the concept of the originally purely administrative complex will change fundamentally. “Unequivocally we want to preserve the character of the site. Vinohrady is mostly a residential area, therefore notogether with PSN we want to prepare a project that will be primarily residential with smaller parts of the project dedicated to the office and business units on the ground floor, “he said.
“It is one of the most interesting and valuable plots in the center of Prague near the National Museum. I am sure that in connection with Penta Real Estate we will enrich Vinohradská Street with a useful, modern and architecturally very high-quality building, “added Max Skala from PSN.
Until 2019, there was a complex of three buildings on the site, which were built between 1972 and 1978 in the style of brutalism, especially for the Transgas Gas Control Center and the Federal Ministry of Fuels and Energy. Later, the building was owned by ČEZ, which sold it to the developer HB Reavis of the Slovak billionaire Ivan Chrenk. He was for his ownership object removed in 2020. Subsequently, in 2021, PSN bought the land from HB Reavis.
PSN has been operating on the Czech market since 1991, originally as the Prague Real Estate Administration. Own real estate in Prague, Pardubice and Hradec Králové. The most famous are, for example, the Dancing House, the Fashion House on Wenceslas Square or the Dlážděná Palace.
