Natland continues to strengthen in real estate. It bought an unused building in Hostivař and is planning its complete revitalization

16.12.2025

Investment group Natland has expanded its property portfolio in the capital. It has become the owner of a former residential hotel near the former industrial complex in Prague’s Hostivař. The purchase price of the three-storey building is in the tens of millions of crowns.

The building is located in the immediate vicinity of a shopping centre, public transport stops and adjacent residential development. It is a location that is undergoing dynamic urban development and at the same time offers full civic amenities and excellent accessibility. Therefore, the project intends to respond to the growing demand for starter and affordable urban housing and offer small flats. The building is expected to offer approximately 50 smaller apartments inspired by the concept of student housing & young professionals’ living.

Location with complex potential

“This acquisition fits exactly into the plan we want to develop in Prague. It is a project with clear potential, good economics and a quality urban location that will reflect current demand,” says Tomáš Balvín, Investment Manager of Natland Group.

The Hostivař project is primarily about revitalizing old or unused space, which is Natland’s long-term approach, preferring the redevelopment of historically existing buildings over development in fields and meadows. Natland has extensive experience with similar projects, including the current Stromovka Kladno project, where a new urban district is being created on a large brownfield site near the railway station. In recent years, the company has also successfully restored the Lysolajský dvůr site, now a fully-fledged residential project appreciated by the professional public.
“Revitalising older buildings is always more expensive than building on greenfield sites, but it brings higher long-term urban value, a lower ecological footprint and a positive impact on the quality of life in localities. We bring new uses where infrastructure already exists,” says Karel Týc, partner for Real Estate & Development of Natland Group.

The architectural competition is currently underway and if the preparation and approval processes go according to plan, the project could be put up for sale within 12 to 24 months.

Positive news for investors

The new acquisition will be part of the portfolio of Natland Real Estate SICAV. For the fund’s investors and co-investors, this means not only an expansion of the fund’s assets and a further strengthening of its diversification, but also a greater potential for better appreciation of their capital. The real estate development fund actively works with projects that are managed by the Natland Group team, which has full control over their development. The acquisition confirms the Fund’s strategy of focusing on projects with real impact, development potential and economic returns.

Real estate investment is one of the strategic pillars of the Natland Group, which has been involved in property development under the Natland Real Estate brand for over ten years. Currently, the investment framework in real estate development is more than four billion crowns and there are more than two thousand apartments in the pipeline.
