Primark opens to the public at The Flow Building in Prague

Fashion retail giant Primark has opened its doors to the public at The Flow Building in Prague.

This is Primark’s first store in the Czech Republic, forming part of the successful retailer’s expansion throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Primark is also the anchor tenant for another Chapman Taylor-designed landmark building – the award-winning City Plaza in Wuppertal, Germany – which opened in April 2019.

The landmark Flow Building development, designed by Chapman Taylor’s Prague studio for Flow East, is located on a prominent corner site in Wenceslas Square, which is part of the historic centre of Prague, a World Heritage Site famous for its traditional setting for demonstrations, celebrations and other public gatherings.

The building provides seven floors of prestigious office space, three levels of flagship retail and two basement levels of parking. The FLOW Zone community space on the roof terrace provides all tenants with an attractive and relaxing space in which to work, socialise or recharge while taking in the stunning views over the city.

A core element of the project is the Flow Building’s emphasis on flexibility, sustainability and the wellbeing of occupants. The Flow Building was the first in the Czech Republic to achieve a BREEAM Outstanding rating, the highest BREEAM rating under the latest version of the BREEAM International New Construction scheme. Separate ’Outstanding’ certificates were awarded for both the office and retail components of the development.

The Flow Building’s architectural significance, excellent public transport connectivity, and emphasis on sustainability and wellbeing make it one of the most desirable locations in the city.

Congratulations to Primark on their first day of trading in this wonderful location.
