Ekospol

What Ekospol does

Ekospol (legal entity EKOSPOL a.s.) is a privately held Czech residential real estate developer founded in 1992 by Evžen Korec and headquartered in Prague 7. The company acquires, develops, and sells new low-energy (nízkoenergetický) apartment buildings across multiple Prague districts, with a current project portfolio spanning Ekocity Hostivař (approximately 682 units across buildings A–F in Prague 15), Slunečné terasy Řeporyje (192 units, Prague 5), Ekorezidence Smíchov (60 luxury units, Prague 5), Výhledy Barrandov, and Ekorezidence Hodkovičky. Over 33 years the company has completed 61 large-scale residential projects serving more than 11,000 customers and holds an estimated 1/7 share of new apartment sales in Prague.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer sales model via the ekospol.cz website, project showrooms with construction webcams, and listings on Czech real estate portals (Sreality, BezRealitky, iDnes Reality, RealityMix.cz). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sale of newly built apartments (priced 30% below the Prague average), supplemented by land plot sales, apartment rentals, mortgage financing services (Hypotéka EKOSPOL, via partnership with Hypoteční banka), and a small knowledge-products line of founder-authored real estate books distributed through EUROMEDIA GROUP and SIKO Koupelny's 39-branch retail network. A defining structural feature is that all projects are financed from the company's own resources without bank loans, enabling the below-market pricing and consistent sell-out before construction completion.

Ekospol's go-to-market targets two segments: primary residential buyers seeking owner-occupied housing, and secondary buy-to-rent real estate investors. Marketing is multi-channel, combining the corporate website, social media (Facebook, X/Twitter with the CEO), print advertising, billboards, and earned coverage in major Czech outlets (Deník, E15, Lidové noviny, Týden, iDnes.cz). The company was recognized in the Seznam Zprávy Česká elita Top 3 most valuable residential developers ranking in both 2024 and 2025, was listed among the Top 100 most valuable companies in Bohemia, and ranks among the Top 50 largest developers in Central and Eastern Europe per Construction & Investment Journal.
