Jakub Vais for CzechCrunch: From the Basketball Court to Projects That Are Transforming Cities

When Jakub Vais left Košice for Prague at the age of sixteen, his goal was to become a professional basketball player. Ultimately, however, his career took a different turn. Together with his father, Ľubomír, he began building the EBM real estate development group, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary on the market this year.

During that time, we’ve undergone a significant transformation—from projects focused on housing for seniors, through our own design studio, to our current residential developments and larger-scale projects that help shape entire neighborhoods.

Today, we have projects under construction and in the planning stages with a sales value of approximately 7 billion crowns, and our long-term goal is to reach the 10-billion mark.

In an interview with CzechCrunch, Jakub talks not only about his early days in business and his collaboration with his father, but also about discipline, teamwork, and his approach to development.

“We want the homes to feature architectural details and more spacious layouts, and for people to feel like they’re truly at home. The best testament to our work, for me, is that some of our own employees live in our projects,” says Jakub.
