Immocap presented an updated design of the new Istropolis in Bratislava. The project already has a valid zoning decision and construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2025.
Due to the work's scope and the zone's size, the implementation will take place in several phases spread over time. Depending on the building permits, two office buildings and one residential building should start construction first, the estimated construction time for the first 3 buildings is approximately 2.5 years.
In total, the project will bring 9 new buildings, 2 squares, an inner green yard, cycle paths, a car-free zone, a top cultural and congress hall for 3,000 people, 600 new apartments, energy-efficient offices for 5,000 employees, new operations, restaurants and other services. The confirmed tenant of the office building along Vajnorská Street is the Dell company.
Developer Immocap has been working on the design of the new Istropolis project for the past 4 years with an unusually wide team of architects, designers and various specialists. Renowned studios - the Dutch KCAP and the German Cityförster - are involved and supported locally by the Slovak studio Pantograph. The urban-landscape concept was created in cooperation between the Dutch KCAP and the Slovak-British studio Marko & Placemakers.
The neighbouring Škultétyho ulica itself will also undergo a major change, where the infrastructure will be modified to create a green belt with a raised carriageway for cars. This will slow down the street and make it a soft connection between the existing neighbourhood and Istropolis.
