The Supreme Audit Office in Prague (NKÚ) is fighting with finance minister Andrej Babiš over a plan to develop new headquarters on a site NKÚ owns at Ortenovo square in Prague 7 in the Holešovice neighborhood. The office has CZK 230m to finance the new building, which would cost an estimated CZK 690m altogether. Babiš wants the Antimonopoly office to check the alternatives, as it’s estimated this solution would make a return only after 45 years. NKÚ has leased space at the CPI-owned Tokovo office building next to Libeňský bridge in Prague 7 since 2007. NKÚ pays CZK 16.7m annually. The lease contract with CPI runs through 2023.
