Office Space Rental in the Czech Republic


Selecting office space for rent today goes beyond just square footage or price. Whether you're searching for office rental in Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Plzen, or any other city in the Czech Republic, the key is finding a space that aligns not only with your company's requirements but also its culture, vision, and strategic goals, including future growth potential.


The Prague office market is dynamically evolving, offering more than 4 million m² of modern office spaces. Traditionally attractive locations like Prague 1 and Prague 8 show the lowest vacancy rates, while the largest volumes of office space are found in Prague 4 and Prague 5. Current data confirms a gradual shift to a landlord-favorable market, driven mainly by limited new project construction in the coming years.


We understand that clients today expect a fast, personal, and transparent approach, with clear data from the start and maximum efficiency—in terms of both space and budget. That's why we treat every client individually, providing all essential information immediately, without delays or fluff.


🟣Types of Office Spaces for Rent


Open-Plan Offices

Open-plan offices, or open spaces, maximize space utilization and promote collaboration among employees. This layout is ideal for teams with high interaction levels, creative agencies, or tech companies.


Advantages:

  • Lower fit-out costs (up to 20-30% less than closed offices).
  • Support for team collaboration and quick communication.
  • Efficient space use (average 8-10 m² per person).
  • Flexibility for team size changes.


Disadvantages:

  • Higher noise levels and potential distractions.
  • Limited privacy.
  • Need for acoustic elements and zones for focused work.


For successful open-plan setups, quality acoustic solutions, zones for various work types, and ample spaces for private calls, video conferences, collaboration, and meetings are essential.


Closed Offices

The traditional closed-office model offers maximum privacy and uninterrupted work. It's suitable for companies where employees handle sensitive data, need concentration, or conduct frequent client meetings.


Advantages:

  • Privacy and quiet for focused work.
  • Space personalization options.
  • Ideal for confidential meetings and sensitive information handling.
  • Clear hierarchical structure.


Disadvantages:

  • Higher costs per m² (average 15-25% more than open-plan).
  • Less efficient space use (12-20 m² per person).
  • Potentially weaker team collaboration.
  • Higher heating, air conditioning, and maintenance costs.


A modern trend is combining closed offices with shared spaces for informal meetings and team collaboration.


Flexible Office Spaces - coworking

Flexible offices, or coworking, represent a hybrid solution that combines the advantages of private and open spaces. This category is experiencing significant growth in Prague and currently offers over 124,000 m² in 85 centers across the city. They include various types of workspaces – from hot desks to focus rooms, informal meeting points, and closed separate spaces.


Advantages:

  • Adaptability to different working styles and needs
  • Optimal use of space (9-12 m² per person)
  • Support for an agile working environment
  • Attractive to young talent
  • Ability to quickly scale the team without long-term commitments


Disadvantages:

  • Need for clear rules for the use of shared spaces
  • Office design cannot be fully customized
  • Shared common spaces


This type of office is ideal for companies with diverse work processes or companies implementing activity-based working, where employees choose their workplace according to their current activity.

💬 Expert Insight – Milan Kilík, Commercial Real Estate Specialist


"The Prague office market is gradually shifting to a state more favorable for landlords. The main reason is limited new construction in the coming years and steadily strong demand, especially for premium and sustainable, certified spaces. Companies should consider their office strategies in advance, as tenants' negotiating positions in central locations are starting to worsen.
At the same time, we see a trend where companies prefer central locations in or near the center, prioritizing quality over quantity. They opt for smaller but better-equipped spaces in attractive areas rather than larger offices in less accessible ones. This demand overhang contributes to rising rents in the city center and inner districts, where average rents reach 18 to 30 EUR per m² per month."

🟣 What to Watch for When Selecting Office Spaces


Every decision-making team has different priorities—CEOs track ROI, CFOs handle costs, HR values availability overviews—but all expect efficient, quick, and informed decisions. Our role is to connect these needs and find the best option for all parties.


🟣 Key Factors in Office Selection


When choosing an office, we recommend monitoring:

  • Location – Often the hardest choice for your new base.
  • Lease Length and Flexibility – Clients frequently want shorter commitments, but not all landlords are prepared for that.
  • Space Utilization Efficiency – Space-saving solutions vs. team comfort.
  • Landlord Incentives – Open to negotiation, but longer commitments yield better support terms.
  • Moving and Fit-Out Costs – Often overlooked but crucial.
  • Civic Amenities – Restaurants, cafes, banks, offices.
  • Transport Accessibility – Public transport, parking, highway access.
  • Office Equipment – Technology, air conditioning, acoustics, shared spaces, ESG standards.
  • Processing Speed – Our ability to respond quickly to client needs is the foundation of our competitive edge.


🟣 Hidden Costs in Office Rental


Many firms still consider cheap office options, but true savings aren't just in lower rent. Hidden costs for renovations, poor accessibility, or lack of nearby services can lead to higher expenses and team dissatisfaction.


Most common hidden costs:

  • Service Charge – Fees for building operation services (average 100-200 CZK/m²/month).
  • Fit-Out Costs – Space adaptations to tenant quality requirements (15,000-40,000 CZK/m²).
  • Energy Costs – Significantly higher in older buildings.
  • Moving Costs – Physical relocation, IT infrastructure, productivity downtime.
  • Reinstatement – Restoring the space to original condition at lease end.
  • Indexation – Account for rent increases over time.


It's important to seek a balance between price and the real value the space brings to the company over a longer horizon, such as 5 to 10 years.


🟣 Current Trends in Office Spaces


ESG and Sustainability

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are becoming a key factor in office rental decisions. Up to 65% of large corporations now require LEED, BREEAM, or other sustainability certifications. Buildings with these certifications achieve 10-15% higher rents but offer lower operating costs.


Key elements:

  • Energy efficiency and carbon footprint minimization.
  • Use of renewable energy sources.
  • Water management systems.
  • Indoor environment quality and impact on employee health.
  • Alternative transport availability (bike racks, EV chargers).


Flexible Work Models

Hybrid work has become the new standard—over 75% of Czech firms have implemented some form of hybrid regime. This changes office space requirements, which must support both in-person presence and remote collaboration.


Implications for office spaces:

  • Greater emphasis on tech equipment for video conferencing.
  • Variable employee attendance (desk-sharing systems).
  • Need for team collaboration and networking spaces.
  • Smaller total space required, but higher quality.


Technology and Smart Offices

Smart offices using IoT and data analytics optimize space use and increase employee comfort.


Modern tech features:

  • Contactless access systems.
  • Apps for booking meeting rooms and workspaces.
  • Occupancy sensors and space usage analysis.
  • Automation of lighting, heating, and air conditioning.
  • Integration with company systems.


Wellbeing and Employee Experience

Offices are increasingly viewed as tools for attracting and retaining talent. Up to 82% of employees consider the work environment a key factor in choosing an employer.


Trends in wellbeing:

  • Biophilic design (incorporating natural elements).
  • Zones for rest and relaxation.
  • Spaces supporting movement and active work modes.
  • Quality dining facilities.
  • Community spaces and activities.


Companies investing in quality work environments report up to 25% higher employee productivity and 31% lower turnover, which outweighs higher initial rental and fit-out costs in the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions about Office Rental


  • Can I also rent warehouse space?
    Yes, in addition to offices, we also offer storage space, often in combination with administrative facilities at the same address.

  • What is the usual lease term for office spaces?
    Standard lease length in premium buildings is 5 years, in lower-category buildings 3-5 years. In recent years, however, more landlords are offering flexible terms with options for shortening commitments or early termination under pre-agreed conditions. Flexibility is usually traded for less favorable rental terms.

  • How to calculate the optimal office size for my team?
    To calculate optimal size, consider several factors:
    Open space: 8-10 m² per person.
    Combined layout: 10-12 m² per person.
    Closed offices: 12-20 m² per person.
    Meeting rooms: about 2 m² per employee.
    Common areas: 15-20% of total area.
    Add specific team needs like archives, server rooms, representative spaces, etc., to this calculation.

  • What is service charge and what other fees can I expect?
    Service charge covers costs for building management and maintenance of common areas, reception services, cleaning of common spaces, and typically ranges between 100-200 CZK/m²/month. Additionally, expect direct energy costs (electricity, heating, cooling), billed either by actual consumption or flat rate. Each landlord handles it differently.
