Development Tour – Brumlovka
Story of reborn of 25 hectares sustainable and self-financing city district, made and owned by one investor
A quarter of a century ago, the Passerinvest Group began building its first office buildings on a neglected brownfield in Prague’s sub-district. The determination of the investor and respect for the long-term and well-thought-out urban plan, designed by the architect Aulík, transformed the area into a distinctive modern urban district that meets the criteria for short-distance cities. The first construction began in 1996; today, Brumlovka represents the 25-hectare self-sustainable and self-financing sub-district. Moreover, the investor invested over 10% of all investment costs in nonprofit investments. Thanks to that fact, Brumlovka is not an ordinary development project but a place for living with one of the highest quality public spaces in Europe made by a private investor.
If you wish to discover more about this unique lifetime development project, please accept our invitation to the CRE Development Tour Brumlovka.
Program: Site walk with a presentation by the investor (office, school, stadium, multimedia center, public spaces, parks, rooftop gardens, etc.). Presentation of Mr. Passer’s American dream story. Snack and discussion with Mr. Passer – CEO and founder of Passerinvest Group.
