In 2019 we opened the first phase of business centre IMPERA to the public. Our intention was to expand our real estate portfolio with retail premises. By doing so, we would return the citizen availability to obtain their basic shopping needs back to the centre of our town district. We wanted to enable a modern and comfortable shopping experience to our citizens in the close vicinity of their homes. Nevertheless, our shopping centre is equipped with substantial parking space for families and citizens living further away.
We have, again, payed attention to green plantation for the creation of a pleasant public space and concurrently, to suppress the heat island effect. For the irrigation of such a vegetation, we implemented a rainwater harvesting system, collecting water from the roofs but also from the whole parking area. This water is collected in a massive concrete tank from which it is then automatically distributed to the irrigation system.
Our shopping centre furthermore offers modern and fast car battery charging stations for electric cars which we implemented in cooperation with PRE a.s. These charging stations have the power of 150 kW with an additional 75 kW in reserve.
In 2021 we plan to open the second phase expansion of this project by adding a multi-functional building with 3 000 metres squared designed for retail and services. Moreover, we have begun preparations for the third phase of this project which includes the realization of a green park and restaurant.
