A success story: up to 103 rental flats and amenities instead of commercial housing
A commercial housing project by a private developer was originally meant to be built in this location; however, the land was repossessed by Metro Bratislava a.s. and an urban rental housing project with benefits for the inhabitants of the surrounding area in the form of a public park and community amenities will be built here instead.
In the first stage of the project, which is currently being prepared by the city, there is a proposal to build a residential building with 103 flats on eight floors and with a usable area of 5030 m2.
There will be fifty-two rental flats (e.g. for important occupations needed in the city: municipal police officers, caregivers, firefighters, nurses, teachers, etc.) and fifty-one replacement rental flats (the city has a legal obligation to provide replacement rental housing for more than 500 tenants affected by the restitution process).
In addition to rental flats, the urban rental housing project on Muchovo Square will bring community amenities and a public park with a total area of approximately 3065 m2 (after the completion of both phases of the project) offering activities for youth, senior citizens and families with children.
The final form of the park as well as the use of the spaces for community amenities can be influenced by residents from the surrounding neighbourhood. As a first step, we organised an informative meeting with residents in September 2020. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the first meeting was held online. The aim was to introduce the project and define the framework for participation.
The construction date is preliminarily scheduled for 2022/2023, depending on the granting of all the necessary permits.
