The third annual Green Roof of the Year 2024 competition, organized by the International Climate Adaptation Research Institute, brought awards for the best green roofs in Slovakia. The winners of various categories were announced at the international conference in Bratislava, including two-time winners Matej Erd from industrial stavieb.sk and Richard Masár from Landart in the categories "Public Green Roof 2024" and "Green Roof 2024 - Innovations".
The year 2024 was a challenging one for the Slovak real estate market, as the total volume of real estate investments reached EUR 484 million, which is a year-on-year decrease of 27 percent. The main reason was the tight monetary policy of the European Central Bank (ECB), which kept the base interest rate at a record high at the beginning of the year. This affected investment activity and caused several investors to reconsider their strategies. The change came only in June, when the ECB, after a long period of tightening monetary policy, proceeded to reduce interest rates for the first time.
Penta Real Estate began construction of the first phase of the Chalupkova office building project in late 2023, which will transform a long-term unused location in Bratislava's Old Town.

Preparatory work on the land is planned for the second half of 2025.

The Slovak commercial real estate market in 2024 showed that it can grow and attract investment even in a changing economic environment. The industrial sector rebounded from a weaker start to the year to a strong finish, office space enjoyed record demand, and retail parks confirmed their growing popularity. What trends shaped the individual segments and what can be expected in the coming months?
