UBM Tops Out 160-Unit Residential Project in Prague

UBM Development Czechia has completed the structural frame of its Rezidence Na Plzeňce residential project in Prague 5. The development is located near Smíchov railway station, on a former brownfield site.

The project comprises 160 residential units, and only the last two apartments remain available, according to the developer. Completion is planned for the second half of 2027.

The completed structural phase includes the building's load-bearing walls, ceilings and roof. Window installation is also under way.

The next construction stage will focus on the roof covering, facade and interior works. These include technical installations and internal partitions.

160 Apartments Across Different Configurations

The project is situated between Nádražní and Strakonická streets. It offers 160 units ranging from studios to four-room apartments.

Apartment sizes range from 28 to 119 square metres. Most homes include a balcony, terrace or garden. Upper-floor apartments offer views of the Prague skyline.

The residential building will also include four commercial units on the ground floor. Residents will have access to storage cellars and parking spaces for conventional and electric vehicles.

Energy-Efficient Features and Building Systems

Rezidence Na Plzeňce has an energy class A rating.

Its heating, cooling and hot-water systems will use geothermal boreholes and heat pumps. Rooftop photovoltaic panels will supplement the building's energy systems. Electric vehicle charging points are also planned.

Apartment specifications include:

• Timber flooring and large-format windows with wooden frames.
• Triple glazing and underfloor heating with supplementary cooling.
• Heat recovery ventilation in selected apartments.
• Storage cellars and parking for conventional and electric vehicles.

These features form part of the developer's focus on energy efficiency and resident comfort.

Street Improvements and Blue-Green Infrastructure

Work is also progressing on the adjacent Na Plzeňce street.

Technical infrastructure, including water supply, sewage systems and public lighting, has been installed. Paving and asphalt works are nearing completion.

The street uses a blue-green infrastructure system designed to retain rainwater in the root zones of trees. This approach is part of the site's public-realm improvements.

Construction Progress and Project Timeline

Josef Wiedermann, managing director of UBM Development Czechia, said construction was progressing according to plan.

He also said the project was almost sold out at this stage, which the company viewed as confirmation of demand for housing in Smíchov.

With the structural frame completed, work is moving towards the facade and interior fit-out. The developer plans to complete Rezidence Na Plzeňce in the second half of 2027.
