The developer Finep has signed a contract with Vodafone to build a new headquarters for the mobile operator. The building will be part of Finepās growing City West project in Prague 5. Vodafone will lease 15,000 sqm of office space in the LEED Silver certified project. āThe certification means not only that the building is environmentally friendly, but the operational costs will be lower,ā says the Finep CEO TomĆ”Å” PardubickĆ½. Muriel Anton, the director of Vodafone, admits energy efficiency was one of his key criteria, along with its location by the metro. Construction will start this summer, with the start of operation scheduled for January 2015. A tender for the general contractor is currently underway.
