Brno T Arena construction cost increases

Overview

The construction of the T Arena, a multifunctional hall near the Brno exhibition center, has seen a significant increase in projected costs. Current estimates place the total cost at approximately 7 billion CZK including VAT, a substantial rise from the 4.44 billion CZK excluding VAT agreed upon in January 2023 and the initial 2 billion CZK estimates from previous years.

Petr Kratochvíl, chairman of the municipal company Arena Brno, stated that the final price is not yet determined as construction changes and additional works are being finalized. The facility will be operated by the city-owned company Arena Brno after private firms declined management roles. Local political figures have raised concerns regarding the project’s financial evolution and the risk that the municipal budget may be required to cover operational losses.
