The Prague Central Business District epitomises the city’s growing economic success and thriving business travel scene. A planned complex of multifunctional buildings is currently under construction in central Prague, this new hub set to stand in the vicinity of the Masaryk Railway Station and either side of the Prague Highway. Powered by the visionary design of Zaha Hadid Architects, the site aims to transform and revitalise what is currently a largely disused site while meeting the city’s demands for more office space in the face of its booming service and IT industries.
Spanning a land area of approximately 22,000 square metres and costing CZK 6.5 billion ($280 million) to build, it is anticipated that the district will provide jobs for up to 10,000 people once it is up and running, as well as housing, a commercial zone and green spaces. It will also connect the Prague 1 municipality with Karlín and Žižkov, bolstering the region’s overall mobility offering.
