DOMOPLAN

DOMOPLAN, a.s., founded in 2010 by Tomáš Vavřík, focuses on the construction of high-value-added residential projects, primarily apartment buildings and residential developments. For its projects, DOMOPLAN seeks attractive locations with significant future development potential – the uniqueness of these places is then sensitively complemented by quality and timeless architecture. It is behind the Brno residences Starý Pivovar, Nová Líšeň, Hvězdová, Domino, Kopečná, the Kadetka apartment building, and Božetěchova villa. In 2017, the company was one of the first Czech developers to systematically develop the construction of aparthotels in the mountain regions of the Czech Republic. It focuses on premium locations in the Orlické Mountains and Jeseníky Mountains, where DOMOPLAN has built the mountain apartments Filipovice, which have been lauded by industry professionals.

 

The projects that DOMOPLAN has completed in Brno have earned recognition from the professional public thanks to their combination of architectural and craft quality. The Domino residential building was nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award 2019. The Rezidence Starý pivovar received the award for overall winner from the expert jury for Real Estate Project of the Year 2021, and was also awarded by the jury as the best project in the South Moravian Region. In 2022, Rezidence Hvězdová received an award in the Smart Cities 2022 competition as the best project in the Project for cities with more than 200,000 inhabitants category. Projects currently under construction are also collecting awards. The Brandýská Residence Na Mariánské cestě became the overall winner in the Real Estate Project of the Year 2023 competition in the Architects' Award category and also received the Architects' Award for the best project in the Central Bohemian Region. In the same competition, the Lesní stráně aparthotel was also awarded, receiving the Expert Jury Award and the Architects' Award for the best project in the Olomouc Region. The Brno residence Pekárenský dvůr then took home the Architects' Award for the best project in the South Moravian Region.

 

DOMOPLAN is currently one of the most important developers in Brno. It is currently building the Pekárenský dvůr residence, Block A[rt], B80, Příční, and Žižkova here. In addition to Brno, it also implements projects in Bohemia, where it is building Scandinavian-style residential housing called Na Mariánské cestě in Brandýs nad Labem-Stará Boleslav in Central Bohemia. Furthermore, it is currently building two mountain resorts in the Jeseníky Mountains, Lesní stráně and Stará pošta, and is preparing another aparthotel project in the Bukovka ski resort in the Orlické Mountains. DOMOPLAN is also expanding its operations abroad. It is building residential housing in Serbia, specifically the Arboleda residence in Belgrade, and near Zagreb in Croatia, where the Samobor villa houses are being built. On the Croatian coast, it focuses on the construction of luxury holiday resorts.

 

Since 2022, DOMOPLAN has been a member of the FIPOX group.

 

In February 2023, the company presented its largest mixed-use project, BRIXX, in the Brno West Gate area, which, according to the 'work & live' concept, will offer over 500 residential units, as well as spaces for shops, cafes, offices, student facilities, and a medical centre.

 

Tomáš Vavřík also founded 6 investment funds, into which qualified investors can invest and participate in the returns of his projects. Among his most significant investment funds is DOMOPLAN SICAV, a.s. With an asset volume of CZK 2.3 billion, a risk rating of 3, more than 1080 shareholders, and a diversified portfolio of 14 projects, it ranks among the most successful qualified investor funds on the Czech market.

GIS Commercial Property

The Global Investment Summit will focus on property investment this year.

 

Relevant players from the world of development, real estate funds, and architecture will bring current information and insights with real facts and studies.

They will be commenting on individual segments of the real estate market, whether they are residential, office, or retail investments. They will also be evaluating individual locations, the quality of architecture, the technical execution of new properties, and urban planning.

The speakers will answer specific questions and clearly state their opinions.

You will hear only the opinions of people and companies who are relevant players in the Czech real estate market. Questions from moderators and viewers will not be answered by over-leveraged real estate wannabes, but by people who have a tangible track record of work completed. No theorists, but seasoned practitioners and significant personalities in their fields.

Only seasoned practitioners with a proven track record.

A space in real estate discussions cannot be bought with money alone, but primarily with experience and whether a particular speaker has something to say. The real estate section is thematically covered by analyst and fund manager Ondřej Záruba, owner of the analytical company Comsense analytics, the analytical portal Finsider.cz, and himself an investment manager of the real estate fund Future X1.

Ondřej Záruba said about GIS:

„I'm sick to death of events where the chance to speak in front of conference attendees, who have paid a significant amount of money for tickets, can be bought by any over-leveraged debtor whose only qualification is a huge marketing and commission budget. We want to give experienced and intelligent people the space to present their views and activities that make sense. People who are moving the real estate market forward through the quality and quantity of what they produce. Therefore, you will only see those on stage who represent companies that have something to say about the development of the real estate market. Not fly-by-night heavily indebted companies, about which you will read in a year or two that they have gone bankrupt. Or companies that sell hot air. I will ensure that every speaker clearly expresses their opinion and avoids phrases suggesting that there are always two sides to every story. We are at an investment conference, so we want to hear clear information leading to our decisions in a buy/hold/sell format for the relevant asset type. We want to hear opinions on the direction the real estate market is heading in terms of further construction development, urbanism, price development of individual segments, construction costs, or legislation. That is why we are inviting only professionally high-quality speakers who will be of benefit to the conference attendees.“

If you are considering buying an investment flat, wondering whether to sell your investment properties, or considering investing in real estate funds or funds for qualified investors focused on real estate, you cannot miss the GIS conference.

Invest in a GIS ticket and get:

  • Debate of top Prague developers
  • Debate for top regional developers
  • Debate of prominent Czech architects on urbanism in the Czech Republic
  • Debate of established real estate funds
  • Debate of prominent representatives of the FKI from the real estate development sector
  • Exclusive data on the development of flat prices and rents from Finsider.cz

Bitcoin, tokens, coins, cryptocurrencies – how to get your bearings?

An interview on the topic of cryptocurrency with the manager of the investment fund Dopamine Investments, Ing. Roman Panuška, in which you will learn the difference between individual cryptocurrencies and how to think about them from a long-term investment perspective.

 

What should one actually imagine when referring to cryptocurrencies?
Personally, I'm not keen on using the term „cryptocurrencies“ as it's quite inaccurate nowadays. The name was originally coined primarily to designate a category of first-generation public blockchains, like Bitcoin and its counterparts, which were primarily designed as digital money.

It is quite clear today that Bitcoin has won in this category and has no comparable competitor. The rest of the „cryptocurrencies“ are actually blockchain networks supporting smart contracts and tokens created on these networks.

These tokens are used by various projects for their own needs in different ways and usually provide their holders with certain benefits or decision-making powers within the project.
With the exception of stablecoins, which are tokens that do not have a fluctuating price and are backed by some other currency or asset, they are therefore practically never currencies, so the name cryptocurrency is actually very misleading. One should therefore think of cryptocurrencies as various tokens and digital assets linked to the blockchain, which are also tradable in this digital form.
 

2. You say that, in your opinion, Bitcoin has no comparable competitor nowadays. What about Ethereum and others, for example?
Yes, it doesn't. For example, Ethereum, in my opinion, is not a direct competitor to Bitcoin; it's actually a fundamentally very different thing. I won't go into technical details here, but I'll give you a simple analogy. You can best imagine Bitcoin as digital gold. It's something that is scarce because there's a limited number of it and no one can create more. Bitcoin is the same. Its main advantage is its enormous decentralisation, immutability, stability, and distribution. It's a store of value that has no other use case within its network, which I think is also correct.
Ethereum is a blockchain network on which anyone can create a token, giving it any rules or restrictions. Ethereum also has its own native coin, ETH, which is used precisely for paying fees within the network. There are many similar blockchain networks; recently, for example, Solana with its native coin SOL has become very popular. Therefore, we cannot consider the coins of these blockchain networks or the tokens created on them as competitors to Bitcoin. Bitcoin's competitors can therefore be coins running on their own blockchain, created with the purpose of serving precisely as cryptocurrencies, such as Litecoin, DigiByte, Monero, Zcash, and others.

However, I currently see no point in owning coins from this category. The only exception might be Dogecoin, as a popular speculative asset not only for retail traders. 

3. You use the term "token" in some places and "coin" in others, is there a difference?
Honestly, I'm not entirely sure if there's a precise definition for it now, but it's customary to use the term 'coin' for digital assets that have their own blockchain – Bitcoin (BTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ethereum (ETH), and others. 'Tokens', on the other hand, are for digital assets that don't have their own blockchain and have their token created within a blockchain network – Chainlink (LINK), Tether (USDT), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and others.

4. Which coins and tokens should be included in a long-term cryptocurrency investment portfolio.
I would also be very cautious about digital assets with a long-term investment horizon. This market is extremely dynamic, with new trends constantly emerging. If you had put together a portfolio of the best selected tokens and coins in 2017 or even 2020, it would be extremely outdated now and you wouldn't have seen any major returns. And although I have very strong candidates for the next growth period now, I still couldn't recommend them for a long-term investment horizon with a clear conscience. To utilise the full potential of this market, active management and regular portfolio rebalancing are required. There's a tremendous amount to keep track of, and I don't think most individuals can manage it all. It's better to turn to a quality investment fund. The exception is Bitcoin; I wouldn't be afraid to hold that long-term, although this of course absolutely does not mean you will achieve the biggest returns with Bitcoin. It's just the safest bet from my perspective. 

5. Why only Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the only digital asset that has truly won in its „cryptocurrency/store of value“ category and will never be replaced by any competition, as can happen with other coins and tokens where better and more sophisticated solutions are constantly emerging on the market. It is not Bitcoin vs. competition, it is Bitcoin vs. nothing; it has no competition. Although the entire digital asset market is highly speculative, tending to swing from extreme oversold to extreme overbought conditions with a lot of over-leveraged positions always present in the system, I believe that for Bitcoin, these extreme volatility swings could be somewhat mitigated by the ongoing institutional adoption. For example, Bitcoin ETFs have recently been bought by the largest Swiss bank UBS, one of the largest Canadian banks, Bank of Montreal, and the US state of Wisconsin. I see no reason why this trend should not continue, and imagine the immense funds at the disposal of pension and sovereign wealth funds worldwide. I cannot imagine that under these circumstances we will not see higher prices for Bitcoin than the current ones.

6. Could you give us a tip at the end about where the price of Bitcoin might go in the future?
It depends on what it's being compared against. Compared to fiat, it must inevitably increase over time towards infinity, because fiat is infinitely inflationary. If we're talking about its purchasing power, my guess is that it will increase in the coming years for the reasons I've already mentioned.

Note: Fiat is money issued by governments, not backed by any physical commodity.

BREWERY FERDINAND

Benešov Brewery Ferdinand was founded in 1897 by Archduke Franz Ferdinand d'Este and still brews beer according to traditional recipes today.

This places it among craft and typically Czech breweries, where the quality of the beer is constantly monitored by the most skilled brewers. They dedicate ample care and attention to the golden nectar. Under their hands, eighteen types of bottom-fermented beers are created. From the classic ten-degree beer and the special strong D’Este beer, or unique gluten-free beers, to the special Pěkný číslo (Nice Number), the brewery has a unique malting plant that not only produces malt for the Benešov brewery but also supplies it to other breweries across the Czech Republic and abroad. The Ferdinand Brewery brews an average of 22,000 hectolitres of beer annually.
