At HB Reavis, we view things a little differently. We design spaces and provide infrastructure that enable occupants to enjoy what they do, while also developing their skills. Our buildings are completely people- centric, which is what sets them apart. This is what drives our full development process – we’re committed to creating exceptional spaces that enhance health, wellbeing, productivity and happiness. Whether our team of experts are scoping out investment possibilities, designing new project concepts or reviewing construction plans, the people who will experience our buildings every day are continuously top of mind. Not only has our approach succeeded in our home country, Slovakia; we’ve now established a presence in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and more recently the United Kingdom.

Modular construction has experienced popularity in the past, but a new wave of attention could indicate the trend is finally here to stay if it achieves stable footing and scale. McKinsey research finds that by 2030, the productivity benefits of prefabrication could save Europe and the United States $22 billion annually. This issue of Voices examines perspectives from across the value chain on how to realize those industry-wide benefits. All stakeholders will need to act: real-estate developers must “productize” and adapt, public-sector leaders must thoughtfully encourage modern methods of building, and construction players must start to rethink their long-term strategic positions.

The largest global provider of flexible workplaces, Regus, has leased almost 1000 m2 of category A office space. With a total leasable area of more than 2 thousand square metres, River Garden II/III is the largest office complex that was completed last year in the capital city. It enjoys significant interest from prestigious tenants. The building is currently almost completely full with tenants such as Philips, JCDecaux, NCR and Hills. We are very pleased that they are now being joined by Regus, which is an important partner for us in its innovate approach to the workplace, stated Petr Herman, the Business Development Director, entrusted with managing HB Reavis in the Czech Republic. The presence of Regus in our building has an added value for us. It brings an excellent flexibility to us, as a developer, and therefore potentially to our customers as well, which is of key importance for a dynamically-developing company, added Tomáš Stařík, the Leasing Manager of HB Reavis. Regus currently operates nine business centres in the Czech Republic, specifically in Prague, Brno and Ostrava. By opening a centre in the River Garden complex Regus has expanded its network of business centres to include a highly perspective area with a high density of business companies.
