Few addresses in Czech retail carry the same gravitas as Westfield Černý Most. Opened as the country’s very first modern shopping mall, the centre has never stopped reinventing itself. Strategically perched at the Černý Most metro and bus terminus on the city’s northeastern gateway, it greets commuters funneling in from residential Prague 14, the D10 motorway, and a busy regional bus network. That unrivalled accessibility, public-transport and car-friendly alike, has been the cornerstone of its commercial success for nearly three decades.
A Retail Footprint That Keeps Expanding
Today the centre offers a generous gross-leasable area of 85,000 m², housing around 180 retail and service units spread over two bright, intuitive floors. Parking is no afterthought: 3,720 spaces ensure hassle-free visits even on peak weekends. An ambitious €170 million refurbishment and extension in 2013 modernised the architecture, upgraded the interiors, and freshened the tenant mix. The result is a layout that balances high-profile international anchors with beloved Czech brands and niche boutiques, providing the “something for everyone” range shoppers have come to expect from the Westfield badge worldwide.
Dining, Leisure, and the All-Important “Dwell Time”
Great malls today are about more than transactions; they compete with streaming services, home delivery, and entertainment platforms for our most precious currency, time. Westfield Černý Most responds with over 30 restaurants, cafés, and grab-and-go concepts dotted throughout thoughtfully designed atria and an expansive food court. Whether it’s a quick espresso between meetings, a family lunch, or a gourmet dinner before a film, the F&B offer keeps dwell times high and repeat visits frequent.
Speaking of films, the in-house cinema already boasts nine digital screens equipped with the latest projection and sound technology. Yet another milestone lies ahead: three new auditoria will open in 2026, taking the screen count to an impressive twelve and cementing Westfield’s status as a full-service leisure destination.
2026: A New Chapter of Growth
The centre’s appetite for evolution is far from satisfied. Planning permission has been secured for a 9,100 m² extension that will deliver 32 new retail and F&B units alongside the expanded multiplex. When the ribbon is cut in 2026, the total footprint will rise to 94,100 m². For retailers, that translates into a rare opportunity to enter, at scale, an already dominant mall that consistently ranks among the top performers in footfall and turnover nationwide. For shoppers, it promises fresh brands, experiential concepts, and even greater convenience under one roof.
Sustainability as a Core Metric
The next phase is not just bigger; it is greener. Westfield Černý Most holds respected BREEAM certification, an independent benchmark for best-in-class environmental performance. Energy-efficient façades, advanced HVAC systems, LED lighting, meticulous waste management, and biodiversity initiatives in the landscaped surrounds all contribute to a reduced carbon footprint. In an era where tenants and consumers alike scrutinise ESG credentials, that certification adds tangible value and future-proofs the asset for years to come.
