Are you interested in buying land owned by the City? What is the process for buying City-owned land, and how long does it last?
The City of Ostrava usually sells land via public calls for bids. The process begins when the City announces that the land is being offered for sale, sets out the terms and conditions of the sale, and issues the call for bids. Investors then submit their bids by the set deadline. The bids received are then evaluated, and the winning bid is chosen. This is followed by a series of administrative steps connected with the contractual documentation and other legal matters. The entire process lasts several months. For each of the sites listed below, information is given about the current state of progress:
– The call for bids has been announced (bids can currently be submitted)
– The call for bids is currently being prepared (it will be announced within 6 months)
– The land for sale (the decision to offer the land for sale is currently pending)
– The land will be offered for sale at a later date
PLZEŇSKÁ SITE
A modern green building for citizens, with beautiful public spaces
The call for bids is currently being prepared
Total area: 10 000 m2
The city is offering investors a currently unused site in the central part of the Ostrava-Jih municipal district. Covering around 10 000 square metres, it is an important public space situated within easy reach of various key urban functions. The site’s excellent accessibility and close proximity to the municipal district authority building make it an ideal location for an office complex or a polyfunctional building. A future development at the site will become a new focus for the district, located directly on one of its main transport arteries (Horní Street) and close to an important central public space, the square at the shopping centre. Another key advantage of this location is its proximity to the “Bělský Les” city forest park, a popular leisure zone which is just five minutes’ walk away.

A stylish new hotel and new homes in the Poruba district
The call for bids is currently being prepared
Total area: 33 000 m2

Demand for high-quality hotel accommodation with easy transport access is growing throughout Poruba – partly due to the presence of Ostrava’s Technical University, and partly as a result of international collaborative links with locally based research and development institutions. In response to this pressing need, the City is seeking an investor to build a hotel at the junction of Opavská and Martinovská Streets. The hotel should offer a minimum 150 rooms, plus a conference hall, a restaurant, and underground parking to correspond with the hotel’s capacity. A key advantage of the site is its accessibility: located directly next to one of Ostrava’s main arterial roads and close to the D1 motorway, the area also enjoys excellent access by public transport.
