Big bank houses move house...

Within the last few years several banks in the Czech Republic concentrated their offices to one building. It was ČSOB, which in spring 2007 moved house to new central office in Praha-Radlice. The Finep developer is currently building new offices in Praha-Stodůlky for the Komerční Banka. Česká Spořitelna does not rule out moving to one central building either.

So far the most present is the UniCredit Group's moving into new administrative building Filadelfie in BB Centre in Prague 4. The developer is the PASSERINVEST GROUP and the building is a part of modern administrative complex, which is distinguished by very good accessibility and entire public facilities.

UniCredit Bank retains ownership of just one current building in the centre of Prague, at Náměstí Republiky, where clients besides a subsidiary can find other services of retail, corporate and private banking.
