ECONOMY: Slovakia Among the First Countries to Reopen, Economy in Recovery Phase Chg. Forecast Slovakia’s economy has been hit by the domestic, as well as international restrictive measures which have been implemented to minimize the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on public health. According to Oxford Economics data, Slovakia’s real GDP 9.8% should see a year-over-year drop in all four quarters of 2020. Prices should continue to rise, although by a smaller rate. The Vacancy Rate trough of the economic activity was reached in Q2 and most of the economy should now be in a recovery phase, including domestic demand, private sector revenues, industrial production, exports and retail sales. Due to a relatively mild course of the pandemic, Slovakia enjoyed one of the fastest reopenings of the economy in the world. The sentiment in private sector has €17.00 grown less tense as evidenced by the month-over-month increase in industrial turnovers, construction output and real estate Prime Rent, Sq m/month activities (based on the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic data). 5.75% SUPPLY & DEMAND: Expected Drop in Leasing Confirmed, Developers React by Postponing Supply Prime Yield The office property stock saw the first completions since Q4 2019, delivering around 48,000 sq m of class A offices. This includes the competitive projects of Nivy Tower by HB Reavis and Einpark Offices by Corwin. As part of the new supply is (Figures based on class A+B only.) speculative, we see an increase in overall vacancy rate in the Bratislava office market, reaching 9.82%. On the other hand, the Source: Bratislava Research Forum Bratislava IV district has seen a decrease in vacancy rate as a new tenant from public sector moves into Westend Plazza by JTRE. There are currently 11 buildings under construction, totaling 174,000 sq m. Most of this stock (126,000 sq m) is in central ECONOMIC business district (CBD). Additional 63,400 sq m of office stock should be added in 2020 and only 26,400 sq m should be INDICATORS Q2 2020 delivered in 2021 as developers respond to coronavirus crisis by postponing planned supply. Total occupied office stock YoY 12-Mo. increased by 21,000 sq m quarter-over-quarter. This represents a third consecutive quarterly increase in net absorption. Gross Chg. Forecast take-up decreased annually, totaling 31,000 sq m. However, the net take-up share continued to rise and exceeded 64% in Q2. 242K Bratislava PRICING: Prime Rent Holds Steady while Prime Yield Sees a Small Uptick Employment Prime rent remained at 17.00 EUR/sq m/month and is achievable in city centre and CBD. Prime yield saw a minor increase of 0.15% to 5.75%. Competitive leasing market translated to an increase in standard rent free period from 5-6 months to now 6-7 months on a 5 year lease contract or even longer based on the level of competitiveness of a project. Tenants are increasingly 2.7% considering the level of their operating expenses and some show interest in reducing the leased area, although most Bratislava companies in Slovakia don’t intend to move to a home-based model of working.

  • “It's My City and I'm Not Going to Move Away!”
    ISSN 1653-2244 INSTITUTIONEN FÖR KULTURANTROPOLOGI OCH ETNOLOGI DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY “It’s my city and I’m not going to move away!” Shaping a sense of being-at-home-in-the-world and seeking balance between acting and being acted upon in developing Bratislava. By Robert Repka Supervisor: Ulrika Trovalla 2019 MASTERUPPSATSER I KULTURANTROPOLOGI Nr 94 Abstract Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is undergoing a significant change of its built environment due to a massive process of development since the mid-2000s. This series of construction, destruction, transformation and modernising processes has radically transformed a central industrial locality of the city into a wholly new business-administrative district. My ethnography is dedicated to unravelling the development's impact on people's living conditions, experiences, and everyday making-sense practices and actions. I am drawing on Michael Jackson, who claims that humans desire to act in the social world which is acting upon them in order to shape a sense being-at-home-in-the-world. Hence, the central focus of this ethnography is to find out how my informants make sense of the city’s transformation, shape their sense of at-home-ness and how they seek a balance between acting and being acted upon in changing social world. In order to do so, I analysed data gathered from more than twenty semi-structured qualitative interviews and two walk-alongs. Based on that, I claim that informants share a common condition of uncertainty which is experienced as insecurity or hope. In order to shape a sense of home-ness, certainty, belonging and recognition, they create and employ two specific practices.
