� ČSOB´s building in Prague-Radlice
Financial institutions’ headquarters have always represented the top architectural designs of their time. Whether we can say that about today is questionable: I will leave this for you to contemplate. I would just like to mention one, in my opinion, extraordinary construction in Karlín, which is Main Point, the Vienna Insurance Group ČR (VIG ČR) headquarters in which Kooperativa and Česká podnikatelská pojišťovna have their registered offices and which was awarded the World’s Best Office Building title at the 2012 MIPIM property trade fair. Prague 8 itself (in particular the Karlín and Florenc areas) is becoming increasingly popular among financial institutions, which is demonstrated by the above Main Point and the fact that the third largest number of financial institutions are located in this part of Prague, after Prague’s centre and Prague 4. Its position may further be strengthened through the construction projects currently taking place in the vicinity of Palmovka.
