Petřiny Central Square, located between Brunclíkova, Bubeníčkova, and Na Petřinách streets, is set to undergo a major transformation. The original department store from the 1970s will be replaced by a new multifunctional building, the design of which was agreed upon by the investor, CPI Property Group, and the Prague 6 district following complex negotiations. The building will be used primarily for residential housing—specifically, approximately 160 units will be constructed, ranging from 1+kk to 4+kk layouts. While the ground floor will feature a number of commercial spaces, the second floor is slated to house a medical office, a driving school, and other services. The underground level will offer approximately 200 parking spaces.

The design of the new central plaza was determined by an urban planning and architectural competition, in which a five-member jury selected the winning proposal by architect Josef Hlavatý from the Hlavatí architekti studio.

The project’s preparation has involved a long-term development process and public engagement. The investor revised the original design submitted in 2019 based on the committees’ requirements and presented a new version in 2020, incorporating residents’ feedback following a public hearing and reducing the building’s height facing Na Petřinách Street. Following approval by the Prague 6 Municipal Council in July 2021 and the conclusion of the architectural competition in February 2022, work began on the documentation for the zoning decision.
