JTZE a.s. (J&T Zemědělství a Ekologie), a J&T Real Estate group company that specialises in agricultural investments, has, over the past few months, acquired shares in several companies that are engaged in primary agricultural production. The latest acquisition was Farma Neznašovy a.s., which was preceded by the purchase of Statek Sobětice s.r.o. and Žďár Chudenice s.r.o. The total volume of cultivated land is more than 5,600 hectares.

J&T Real Estate's philosophy in building its agricultural portfolio is described by Dušan Palcr in an interview for Hospodářské noviny (available here – only in Czech).

KSB’s transaction advice was provided by Jiří Horník, Jakub Porod and Zuzana Slabá, while Martin Krejčí, Ivo Průša and Filip Šperl were responsible for advising on financing issues.

Suburbanization Trends and Sustainable Commuting: Will the Construction Act Amendment Change the Landscape?

The discussion surrounding the current proposal to amend the Construction Act (Parliamentary Print 67) has moved to the committee stage in the Chamber of Deputies following its first reading. The primary declared objective is the acceleration of construction, particularly regarding residential buildings. The shortage of affordable housing remains a pressing issue in major cities, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, giving rise to the pervasive trend of suburbanization. This raises the question: does the proposed amendment truly have the ambition to reverse this trend, and will an increase in housing construction alone suffice?
