<html>Praha will seek a new agreement on the Žižkov Freight Station</html>
 |
According to Chabr, it still holds that the Ministry of Culture wants to utilize part of the extensive complex for the headquarters of the National Film Archive. It could establish cinemas and other cultural activities there, but according to the councilor, a multipurpose use is ideal. The Ministry is already negotiating the purchase of part of the property with Czech Railways.
The councilor further stated that the ideal solution would be for Prague to buy only part of the complex and for the remainder to be divided between the ministry and preferably also development companies planning to build in the area. For the thousands of new residents, it will be necessary to build a local center, which could ideally arise in the former station, according to the councilor. For the same reason, Prague 3 is also requesting the construction of a large school, to which the city leadership does not object.
Chabr added that given the number of problems that Prague must address, it is unacceptable for him to invest over two billion in one property. An agreement will need to be reached before further development of the former station.
In the past, Czech Railways created a joint venture, Žižkov Station Development, with the development company Sekyra Group, which has the right of first refusal on the station building. According to earlier information, the company conditions its cooperation on its involvement in the renovation of the building and the construction of residential and non-residential spaces there in the future.
To the north of the station, Central Group plans to build a new neighborhood, which in 2016 purchased the land along with the project from the British company Discovery Group. While the British wanted to build a commercial and office center, Central Group's project, for about nine billion crowns, aims to include 2100 to 2600 apartments, a park, and a kindergarten. The company aims to start construction in 2020.
The fate of the First Republic functionalist building of the station has been a topic in Prague 3 for years. It was originally supposed to give way to construction, but after pressure from local activists, the demolition was canceled. Since 2013, the station has been a cultural monument. Experts consider the building from the 1930s to be among the most modern of its kind in Europe in terms of both technology and architecture.
