Chalupkova
Chalupkova Bratislava Architecture & Urban Design Competition
Location
The 3-hectare building site is one of the most prestigious locations in Bratislava, situated in the newly emerging downtown, in close proximity to the Danube River and the Old Town.
Historically, this zone was dominated by significant industrial centers. Due to its economic importance, it became a target of the first air raid on the city during World War II. As a result, the area was partially abandoned and over time, the factories ceased operation.
We aim to transform this long-neglected zone, into a vibrant area with world-class architecture, prime residential and commercial spaces, as well as high-quality public spaces with greenery, all while maintaining a strong emphasis on the environment.
In the Chalupkova development zone, Penta Real Estate has previously completed the successful SKY PARK by Zaha Hadid project, which also involved the revitalization of a national cultural monument - Jurkovič Heating Plant.
Penta Real Estate
Our goal is to create buildings that contribute to urban development of a specific area. For these reasons, we always work with the top-of-the-class architects, engineers, and other respected professionals in the field. Our experience together with their creativity and competence guarantee the highest quality and investment value of our real estate portfolio. This is the main reason why the world’s most renowned architects such as Zaha Hadid Architects, Massimiliano Fuksas, Vietzke & Borstelmann Architekten, Benthem Crouwel Architects and others, participate in our projects.
