The information office for the construction of the Kamýk apartment building was opened every Tuesday and Thursday from 4 pm to 7 pm in the former premises of the Billa store in OC AMI from August 26 to October 1, 2021.

Dear Mr. Mayor, Due to the failure to bring the original intention under the name "Kamýk apartment building" into the phase of realization and subsequent completion, the representatives of REWE, which operates the Billa supermarket chain, decided, at their own discretion, not to extend the lease and closed the store on February 28, 2021. , which affected us mainly economically. The expectations of Billa representatives were the vision of new modern premises corresponding in quality and execution to current normative requirements and trends. She did not see the prospect of staying in the morally obsolete space, and they evaluated the investment in the reconstruction of the interior as ineffective.

Our goal was to re-occupy the space as soon as possible with a similarly high-quality food chain, such as the Albert, Norma or Penny brands, with which we actively negotiated. However, they did not sign the contract either. As I was informed, we were also contacted by telephone by a representative of the P12 district asking if he could be contacted by a potential operator of another food chain, which can be immediately approved for us. However, to date, no one has contacted us on this matter. The departure of a strong grocer and the complications of re-occupying the space thus had a negative effect on the payment morale of some tenants, and the operation of the center thus became economically unsustainable for us, as we increasingly pay extra for operation and services to energy suppliers. In order to prevent the deepening of losses, we are forced to close the shopping center to 30. 8. 2021.

To your remark about the availability of civic amenities, I can only add that our interest is not, and never has been, the difficulty of the availability of services in this location. On the contrary, our aim was to maintain the operation of the center even during the closure of the store during construction by providing alternative mobile sales so that the basic needs of the local population were met. You will surely remember our joint meeting with the participation of other representatives of the Prague 12 and Billa districts on December 17, 2018, where this procedure was presented.

We are aware of the complexity of the process of obtaining a building permit. It should be noted, however, that this is largely influenced by politically motivated activities and the public's opposition to everything new. With the exclusion of these factors and respect for the set legislative processes, it is possible to obtain a permit in an adequate time.

As we informed you in the email from 26.2.2021, our goal remains the revitalization of the existing building with the preservation of retail space to the same extent, the construction of an apartment building, which was reduced and modified in its current form according to the MMR methodology and the resumption of the shopping center as soon as possible. To date, the project has been discussed with all the authorities concerned and is ready to start construction proceedings. The reopening of the shopping center therefore depends only on the course of the construction procedure, and in the case of its standard development, citizens will soon be able to look forward to a new modern center.

During February to March 2018, research was carried out at the site of the Kamýk project being prepared by personal inquiry based on quota selection.
