The Czech development and investment company CONTERA has launched CITYSITE, a new urban concept designed to offer flexible, high-quality spaces for a range of business needs. Combining modern architecture with an emphasis on advanced technologies, accessibility, and sustainability, CITYSITE is being developed in four locations: Říčany, Liberec, Ostrava, and Bratislava. CITYSITE is based on the principle of Small Business Units, designed to adapt to diverse uses such as office space, showrooms, medical practices, research facilities, laboratories, sports and entertainment centers, restaurants, or cafés. The units are easily modifiable, allowing for customization according to specific tenant requirements, according to Martin Budina, Development Director and Partner at CONTERA. The project aims to offer a business environment that is both functional and flexible, supporting a wide range of commercial activities. Emphasis has been placed on achieving high energy standards, which helps to lower carbon emissions and contributes to the long-term sustainability of the buildings. High-quality architectural design is also an integral part of the project, ensuring that each site provides a pleasant and efficient working environment. The CITYSITE developments are located on revitalized brownfield sites, reflecting CONTERA’s commitment to redevelop underused areas and unlock their potential. The concept is designed to maintain a consistent standard of quality and a unified design across all locations, while also allowing for minor adjustments to fit the local environment and conditions. Environmental sustainability is a key aspect of CITYSITE. Considerable attention is given to landscaping and the design of public spaces within the developments. Some buildings will incorporate green roofs, which help to moderate building temperatures and reduce overall energy consumption. Sustainable transport is also encouraged through the inclusion of electric car charging stations, bicycle facilities, pedestrian pathways, and proximity to public transportation links, ensuring easy access both by car and public transit. CITYSITE developments integrate intelligent technologies to support environmentally responsible operations. Each site features photovoltaic systems for on-site renewable energy generation, along with infrastructure to support electric mobility and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems using heat pumps. Water management practices include rainwater collection and on-site absorption, further contributing to the projects’ sustainability goals. CONTERA’s CITYSITE concept reflects a broader vision of creating flexible, energy-efficient business spaces that are adaptable to future needs, while also promoting environmentally responsible urban development.
