Passerinvest Group has completed the shell construction of the Hila multifunctional project in Prague’s Brumlovka district. The development, which rises to 55 metres at its highest point, combines offices, rental housing, retail and services within a single building and is expected to become a new landmark in the area.
Designed by Aulík Fišer architekti, the 15-storey building will provide 20,200 sqm of office space, 71 fully furnished rental apartments and 2,300 sqm of retail space. According to the developer, the project has been designed in line with EU taxonomy criteria and is targeting LEED Gold certification.
The project introduces a mixed-use concept to Brumlovka, integrating workplaces, housing and community functions within one structure. Office tenants will have access to more than 2,000 sqm of rooftop terraces, while the building also includes a four-storey atrium spanning 464 sqm.
“A quality working environment is fundamental for us. We have been designing offices for people, not for Excel spreadsheets, for a long time. Hila is pushing the standard even further in this regard, whether it is the number of outdoor spaces and terraces, the quality of the indoor environment or the overall comfort of everyday functioning,” said Eduard Forejt.
Forejt added that the large rooftop terrace overlooking Prague is expected to become a meeting point for employees working in the building.
The Hila project replaces older prefabricated residential and office buildings that previously occupied the site. According to Passerinvest, the earlier buildings provided less than 10,000 sqm of space, while the new development will offer almost three times that amount.
“The Hila building fulfilled an old dream for us as architects, to build a city up in layers. To build an apartment building on the roof of an office building, where the air in the city is already better and there is a view,” said Jan Aulík.
Aulík noted that both the office and residential sections of the building operate independently, with separate entrances and vertical circulation systems, while sharing emergency infrastructure. He added that the office section was designed to minimise shading on neighbouring buildings along Jemnická Street, with terraces and greenery incorporated into the stepped design.
Office rents at Hila are expected to range between EUR 24.50 and EUR 27.50 per sqm per month excluding VAT. The residential section will include a mix of units ranging from studio apartments to four-room layouts, with apartment sizes between 33.5 sqm and 133 sqm.
Following completion of the shell construction, work will continue on the façade and interior fit-out. The development also includes underground parking spaces with a minimum width of 2.7 metres, above the typical local standard of 2.4 metres.
The construction involved several large-scale engineering elements, including piling works extending more than two kilometres in total length and an 86-metre-high construction crane.
