"According to Savills, the Czech hotel sector reached a transaction volume of €340 million in Q1 2025, accounting for 23% of the total commercial real estate investment volume in the year’s first quarter. This figure is nearly three times higher than the total hotel investment volume recorded in 2024, which reached €120 million. The sharp increase is primarily attributed to the completion of several major transactions in Q1, including hotels such as Mama Shelter, Hilton, and Ramada Prague City Centre. The acquisition of Four Seasons, to be reflected in Q2 investment volume, represents the most recent significant deal in the market. In the broader context, pan-European hotel investment totalled €21.9 billion in 2024, marking the highest level since 2019 and a notable 47.6% year-on-year increase."

"Savills has advised Slate Asset Management (“Slate”), a global investor and manager focused on essential real estate and infrastructure assets, on the disposal of a three asset OBI retail store portfolio in Slovakia.

"According to an analysis by Savills, data centre investment volumes soared to new heights, driven by the rapid adoption of AI, cloud computing, and digitalisation across industries. Private investment figures reached a record-breaking CZK 2,486 billion (€99 billion) globally, more than three times the previous year's total."

"Savills Czech Republic & Slovakia has advised Shopper Park Plus Plc. (SPP) on the acquisition of a four asset, Tesco-anchored retail park portfolio in Slovakia. SPP acquired the portfolio on behalf of its Slovakian affiliate, directly from Tesco in a sale and leaseback transaction. The four retail parks are located in Žilina, Nitra, Trnava and Dunajská Streda, with each of the centres being anchored by a Tesco grocery store on a new long lease. Ancillary retail stores at each retail park provides for a comprehensive customer experience."

"Strong profit growth in challenging environment"

"According to Savills, more than €1 billion worth of commercial properties were already transacted in Q1 2025 in the Czech Republic, representing a 180% increase compared to the same period last year. It is also the strongest quarter since 2020. In the European context, the Q1 2025 volumes are forecast to surpass €50 billion, a 28% year-on-year increase. Savills sees a broad-based recovery taking shape, with most countries set to record an annual increase in investment activity, with the Czech Republic, Portugal, France, Ireland, and Romania likely to see the strongest growth compared to Q1 last year."

"According to an analysis by Savills, office development in Prague has been declining rapidly since 2021. This trend is confirmed by 2024 figures, which show that only 72,800 sq m of new office space was completed in Prague. In 2025, the volume is expected to decrease even further, reaching just 24,600 sq m. Meanwhile, total demand, including companies that are renewing their existing leases (so-called renegotiations), exceeded a record 630,000 sq m in 2024. This creates a significant imbalance between supply and demand."

"According to the Savills European Industrial and Logistics Occupier Markets report, the industrial real estate market is expected to experience a breakthrough year, potentially leading to a significant market recovery. Increased occupier activity is anticipated, driven by key factors such as economic growth, technological advancements, and ESG. In the Czech Republic, the highest concentration of ongoing developments is in the Karlovy Vary, Plzeň, and Moravian-Silesian regions, where a total of 763,000 sqm was under construction at the end of 2024. The most active developers in these areas are Panattoni and CTP Invest."

"The Caribbean has long been a popular tourist region, attracting tens of millions of tourists annually. It is also the attractive destination for second-home ownership. According to the Savills Caribbean Islands report, prices of prime residential properties in the Caribbean have increased by 27% over the past five years but have yet to reach their peak. Despite this price growth, the Caribbean still offers a better price-to-quality ratio compared to similar global destinations for luxury vacation homes. Based on the price per square meter, Caribbean destinations are up to 50% cheaper than other regions, such as Sardinia, the Hamptons, or Tuscany."
