Penta Group Acquired Florenc Bus Station in Prague

Penta will acquire the entire company ฤŒSAD Praha Holding, which owns the terminal and the adjacent lucrative land. The transaction price has not been disclosed by the companies.

Approximately 450 buses pass through this station every day, making it the largest bus station in the Czech Republic.

Pavel Vrรกblรญk, the CEO of ฤŒSAD Praha Holding, estimated in June that in 2019, ten million people passed through the station, but after the pandemic, the number has dropped by about one million.

Vrรกblรญk stated in June that the Florenc 21 project would include the bus station as part of a new building, which would house office spaces and apartments. He estimated the investment in the project at several billion Czech crowns.

Penta Real Estate recently completed work on the Masaryฤka building complex by Pragueโ€™s Masaryk railway station. It was designed by the UKโ€™s Zaha Hadid Studios and is regarded as one of the boldest projects of its kind in the Czech capital in some years.

The construction of the two buildings that make up Masaryฤka began in March 2021 and the total investment was CZK 2.5 billion.
