City Hall of Prague 13 at Sluneční náměstí (realized 2003, author Spojprojekt Prague)
Prague - Prague 12 is considering the construction of a new city hall. Currently, officials are located in seven places, which is inconvenient for residents. The previous leadership wanted to remodel the former department store Prior, but according to the new leadership, this project could be disadvantageous for the Modřany city hall. Therefore, they want to also explore the possibility of building a new building in the U Dubu area. This was reported by Jan Decker, head of the communications department of Prague 12. The city district council established a working group at its last meeting to assess the costs of a possible construction near the original site in the area that locals refer to as U Dubu. "We would like to have another option available so that we can seriously assess the suitability and purposefulness of the whole project," stated the mayor of Prague 12, František Adámek (CSSD). The previous leadership planned to convert the Prior department store on Sofijské náměstí into a city hall. The costs for the remodeling were previously estimated by the Modřany city hall at 340 to 390 million crowns. They wanted to acquire money by selling the current office building, detached workplaces, or potentially other real estate. According to Decker, however, statements from some experts suggest that this plan would be financially inappropriate for the city hall and that the current spaces would likely be difficult to convert into offices. New city halls are also planned by some other city districts. For example, Prague 8 wants to build a city hall for approximately 1.1 billion crowns at Palmovka, which would also include a shopping center. Prague 7 is also looking for a new headquarters, as it currently operates in rented spaces.
