Knight Frank presents a new report focused on medical clinics and their growing impact on the office market. The analysis shows that healthcare providers are increasingly choosing modern office buildings, enabling them to offer better accessibility for patients, a higher-quality working environment and room for future expansion.

Healthcare Services Are Moving Closer to Patients

In recent years, healthcare services have gradually shifted from traditional hospital campuses to outpatient clinics, diagnostic centres and integrated healthcare facilities. This trend is also evident in Prague, where medical occupiers are becoming an increasingly important component of office demand. Average annual demand from medical occupiers increased substantially during 2021-2025 compared with the preceding five-year period.

Why Clinics Choose Office Buildings

Modern office buildings offer a range of advantages that align with the evolving requirements of healthcare providers. These include strong public transport connectivity, barrier-free access, high-quality building services and flexibility to accommodate specialised layouts and patient flows. At the same time, they create a more comfortable environment for both patients and employees.
Based on Knight Frank's recent leasing experience, medical clinic requirements typically range from approximately 1,500 sq m to 6,000 sq m within major office projects. Similar demand is also emerging in regional cities.

Market Outlook

According to Knight Frank, demand for modern healthcare centres will continue to be supported by long-term fundamentals, including ageing populations, growth in outpatient care, advances in medical technology and increasing patient expectations regarding convenience and service quality. As a result, modern office buildings are expected to play an increasingly important role within the healthcare real estate sector.

Growing Role of the Healthcare Sector

The new Medical Clinics report confirms that medical clinics are becoming an increasingly important part of the office market. Selecting suitable premises for healthcare operations requires specialist knowledge not only of the real estate market, but also of the technical and operational requirements of different healthcare facilities.

Knight Frank works closely with both occupiers and building owners to identify suitable solutions for healthcare operations. Whether you are planning a new clinic, relocating an existing facility or seeking space for future growth, our specialists can help you find premises that meet your operational requirements and long-term objectives.
