PSN advances redevelopment in Pardubice with new parking facility and Grand Centre renovation

PSN has recently achieved two major milestones in Pardubice: the successful completion of the Grand Parking House and significant progress on the restoration of the historic Grand shopping centre. These projects are part of a broader initiative to revitalize the city’s central infrastructure and enhance urban living spaces.

The newly completed Grand Parking House, located in the heart of Pardubice, offers 269 parking spaces and operates 24/7, with flexible day and night rates, weekend discounts, and long-term rental options. Designed with an eco-conscious approach, the parking facility features a green facade covered in live plants, set to flourish in the spring, creating a pleasant and sustainable urban environment. The parking house also includes designated spaces for motorcycles and wheelchair users, reflecting PSN’s commitment to accessibility.

“The construction of the parking house was a key prerequisite for embarking on the complex restoration of the historic Grand building,” shared Ondřej Heřman, Director of PSN’s Pardubice branch. “The addition of much-needed parking will benefit local residents and visitors to the Grand shopping centre alike.”

Regional construction companies under the Enteria holding were instrumental in these developments, with Marhold leading the construction of the parking house. The project required complex coordination, including the relocation of a hot water pipeline and sensitivity to surrounding historical sites, highlighting PSN’s dedication to thoughtful urban development.

Meanwhile, PSN’s restoration of the Grand building—a functionalist gem by architect Josef Gočár—aims to restore its First Republic glory while transforming it into a modern commercial hub. Scheduled for completion next autumn, the renovated space will blend historic character with contemporary design by the renowned architectural studio OVA. When finished, the centre will house over 3,500 square meters of retail space, including 29 rental units, a food hall, and an innovative coworking space, offering diverse amenities for locals and tourists.

Progress on the Grand building’s overhaul is well underway, with completed demolitions and the installation of key structural elements. The centre will also feature a stunning glass atrium connecting the Grand building to the historic Kraus Villa, an architectural highlight enhanced by a glass installation from Czech glassworks Lasvit.

The revamped Grand shopping centre will welcome back popular brands such as CineStar in a boutique cinema format, dm drugstore, and the Terranova fashion brand. A modernized BILLA supermarket will also open on the underground floor, catering to daily customer needs. Tenant handovers are slated for June 2025, with the grand reopening planned for autumn.

In these projects, PSN is not only enhancing urban convenience but also championing environmental sustainability and historic preservation, setting a new benchmark for urban development in Pardubice.
