IKONIX, a recently established company active in both property development and renewable energy, has entered the Czech market with a portfolio that combines residential construction and large-capacity battery storage projects. Founded by a management team with backgrounds at JRD, Skanska, Ekospol, and ORCO, the firm intends to become a significant mid-sized player in both sectors within the coming years.
In real estate, IKONIX is currently preparing nine projects with a total value exceeding CZK 3.2 billion, equivalent to roughly €130 million. The combined pipeline includes more than 400 apartments located in Prague and other regions. The Nová Cihelna Kladno development, consisting of 111 residential units, is already under construction, while additional schemes are progressing in Prague’s districts 8, 10, and 12, as well as in Velký Týnec near Olomouc and in Bedřichov in the Jizera Mountains. The company launched sales for the Konstanta Karlín project in autumn 2025 and expects to begin marketing Emotikon Čimice and V.L.N.Y. Modřany before the end of the year.
According to partner for sales and marketing Pavel Krumpár, IKONIX aims to introduce new investment opportunities each year with a minimum value of CZK 1.5 billion. While its main focus remains on Prague and the surrounding area, the firm is also preparing projects in the Olomouc and Liberec regions and is evaluating entry into Brno. The company’s residential developments are designed to meet sustainability standards and provide energy-efficient operation. IKONIX says it intends to create housing that supports comfort and well-being over the long term, integrating modern ventilation, lighting and energy systems alongside accessible layouts that allow residents to remain in their homes into later life.
Beyond the residential portfolio, IKONIX maintains partnerships with organisations active in wellness and social care. The firm provides design and project management for Next.Move, a network of premium fitness clubs, and works with Diakonie ČCE, the charitable arm of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, on the development of new facilities for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, including a centre in Krabčice. Partner for project management Roman Havlíček said that this cooperation reflects the company’s commitment to socially useful investment and its interest in the growing field of assisted living.
Architectural design plays a central role in the company’s approach. IKONIX plans to collaborate with established Czech studios to produce projects that combine durable, elegant design with distinctive features such as colour-changing façades or landscaped roof areas intended for community use. The firm says its objective is to enhance the architectural quality of the neighbourhoods in which it operates while maintaining long-term visual relevance.
Parallel to its real estate activities, IKONIX has established an Energy division focused on large-capacity battery storage. The company is currently developing five projects across the Czech Republic with a combined output of around 60 megawatts. These initiatives are timed to take advantage of changes to the Energy Act, known as Lex OZE 3, which will permit stand-alone battery systems to connect directly to the national grid from October 2025. Partner for energy development Jan Machač said that each project will be handled from site acquisition and network-capacity assessment through to construction and operational management. He described battery storage as a key component of the national transition toward more stable and flexible energy supply.
IKONIX cooperates with several technology partners including Tesla Energy Group, Siemens, and Orgrez. Tesla Energy Group’s director Jan Švinger confirmed the partnership and noted that it will combine Tesla’s expertise in industrial energy storage with IKONIX’s experience in real estate development. He said the joint projects are intended to accelerate the deployment of advanced battery systems and set higher standards for safety and quality in the Czech energy market.
