Obtaining a final building permit is a crucial step for the Galerie Pernerka shopping and social center project in Pardubice. The construction of a new district, which will bring a shopping center with prestigious brands, offices of the highest standard, top-class hotels, a multiplex cinema, and a hall for a thousand guests to Pardubice, is now closer. The project, located in a strategic location near the main railway station, is being prepared by the Olomouc-based development group Redstone.
Galerie Pernerka will be built on an area of 28,500 square meters on the site of the former Hobé distillery. Since 2019, when demolition of the disused distillery began, this conveniently located site has been waiting for a new use that will bring significant improvements to Pardubice in several areas. "Our intention is that, once completed, this place will bring a whole new quality to Pardubice. As a result, it will be pulsating with life and will become a popular center for local residents and a destination for tourists," says Richard Morávek, founder of the Redstone group. At the end of last year, the project obtained a zoning decision, and now it also has a valid building permit. Thanks to this, the company can begin preparing for construction next year. The next step should be to select a construction contractor. Once completed, the center will offer up to 50,000 square meters of space. It will include both classic retail space for well-known brands and space for doctors' offices, wellness services, a jump arena, a children's zone, restaurants, and a multiplex cinema with seven screens. The complex will include a parking lot with a capacity of 1,100 spaces. A new four-star hotel will also be a significant benefit for Pardubice as a tourist and congress destination. The facility, part of the prestigious international chain AC Hotels by Marriott, will offer 150 rooms and a state-of-the-art congress center with a ballroom. These services are also currently lacking in the regional offering and will therefore raise it to a higher level of quality.
