Florenc will undergo a significant transformation in the coming years. On the site of a former railway brownfield, a new urban district – Florenc21 – will emerge, connecting Karlín, Nové Město, and Žižkov. The project will offer hundreds of apartments, offices, retail, a hotel, and a modern bus terminal. It will feature pedestrian zones and high-quality public spaces that will revitalize the area around Florenc metro station. The total floor area of the new development will reach 108,000 m².
The first stage of the project is the result of international architectural competitions, which brought leading teams from across Europe to Prague. A total of 157 teams from 33 countries entered the competitions, and the jury selected winners for six blocks.
