Emphasis on the Environment and Its Sustainable Development
Passerinvest Group, a.s. is committed to making Brumlovka locality as a unique place for living, working, and spending leisure time. In the spirit of this strategy, the company is developing a “green”concept for Brumlovka locality focusing on supporting environmental sustainability. The office buildings at Brumlovka locality fulfil not only the demanding requirements for well-designed Grade A office space, they are also BREEAM certified, guaranteeing high quality buildings from the point of view of their long-term sustainability. The buildings feature extensive roof gardens, richly planted with trees and other foliage, as well as relaxation zones for short breaks.
But greenery isn’t found only on roof terraces or immediately surrounding individual buildings. Throughout the Brumlovka locality, you’ll find well-maintained landscaping and many water features, such as fountains and streams. At the building, Delta, rainwater is captured in an original artificial riverbed for use in the adjoining green corridor. There are two large parks located in Brumlovka locality, each about one hectare in size. Baar Park, in Brumlovka's northern section, has a recreation area with benches, a pétanque court, and numerous other unusual attractions for children and adults. The second park, the newly built Brumlovka Park, the first phase of which was finished in 2015, features an extensive grassy area with trees and a large, modern playground with numerous play elements. In upcoming years, it will undergo significant expansion.
In 2022 Passerinvest Group placed two beehives on the rooftop garden of the Delta building. The local diverse greenery in Brumlovka, parks and the nearby Krč Forest provide the bees with a diverse source of food. Thanks to these favourable conditions, the bees are doing well here, as evidenced by this year's flow of spring honey. Forty litres of flower honey were harvestedin 2023.
“We are very happy that the bees are doing well here in Brumlovka, which is evidenced by the amount of honey obtained. We worked with experts for a long time to choose an appropriate environment for the placement of the hives and it turns out that we chose correctly. Promoting local biodiversity is one of the goals of our long-term strategy and we believe that the bees will continue to thrive here. We are now further analysing the project and considering its further expansion in both the number of hives and the degree of education and support for beekeeping,” said Martin Unger, Technical Director of Passerinvest Group.
It is possible to see how the bees in Brumlovka are thriving on two web cameras:

Our goal is to be as environmentally friendly as possible, and to that end, we put two electric buses into operation in February 2016 on a regular shuttle bus line connecting Brumlovka locality and the Budějovická metro station, an ecological solution to improving the complex’s accessibility. The electrobuses also significantly reduce the production of greenhouse gases in the area, reduce noise levels, and improve passenger comfort while helping to reduce the number of cars in the complex.
Supporting a Healthy Lifestyle
PASSERINVEST GROUP, a.s. also supports a healthy lifestyle at Brumlovka locality through, for example, the unique fitness and wellness centre Balance Club Brumlovka as well as regular football tournaments and Health Day for tenants and the general public. Brumlovka locality’s parks and playgrounds are used by joggers as well as tennis and pétanque players. Children in particular love the extensive outdoor recreation opportunities for their sports and play activities on several specially-designed playgrounds. A healthy lifestyle is supported within the complex by a wide spectrum of healthy eating options, with a number of establishments offering cuisine from all over the world, including vegetarian and vegan food.

Brumlovka’s “after-hours” program includes Children’s Day, the summer cinema, as well as regular summer concerts by popular groups and singers in Baar Park with a wide range of accompanying activities. In 2015, a special public library was erected in Baar Park as part of the “Adopt a BookBooth” program, and the second BookBooth was placed in Brumlovka Park in 2016.
