Savills appointed to provide asset management services for iconic DRN complex in Prague

From July 2020, KGAL Investment Management Group GmbH, based in Germany, has appointed international real estate advisor Savills as local asset manager for DRN, the high-quality office complex on Národní St., Prague 1.

Strategically located in the city centre, the 12,500 sq m building of leasable area combines 9,800 sq m of office space with over 1,750 sq m of retail space and modern food and beverage outlets. The asset raises the bar regarding modern technical specifications for offices and expects to receive a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating shortly. It offers stunning communal areas, a roof terrace with 360-degree view of Prague and two-level underground car park with 227 parking spaces. It is almost fully let, with the first Czech WeWork operation being the largest tenant.

KGAL, a leading Munich-based investment and asset management company with assets under management of more than €20 billion, acquired DRN in August 2019, its first property acquisition in the Czech Republic, with Savills advising the seller.

Michaela Semanová, director of property management at Savills CZ&SK, says: “There are a handful of modern iconic commercial buildings in Prague in terms of design and use, and DRN is definitely on that list. It is fantastic to have been appointed to provide local asset management services at DRN.“

Savills property management department in the Czech and Slovak Republics was established in April 2017 and currently manages a portfolio of more than 260,000 sq m (2,798,618 sq ft), including office buildings, industrial parks, as well as mixed-use and retail projects.
