JTRE is preparing a new district District 15, in the Mlynské nívy area of Bratislava, based on the concept of a 15-minute city, according to which every city resident should be able to reach basic civic amenities within a 15-minute walk.
The proposal features three buildings on Bajkalská Street at the eastern side of Mlynské Nivy quarter. The apartment building is designed as a 17-floor building with retail and service units on the ground floor. The other two buildings will be short-term accommodation facilities. The northern 14-floor building will offer affordable short-term accommodation, especially for the younger generation, including students.
The second, southern building will be the tallest in District 15 (26 floors above ground). The building will offer a higher standard of accommodation units with greater spatial variability. The building's facilities will be complemented by a restaurant with more than 200 seats and congress facilities for almost 350 people.
An important part of District 15 is also public spaces and garden arrangements, which will respect biodiversity trends in the urban environment and will also serve as residential areas. There will be a two-way cycle path along the eastern and southern sides of District 15. The expected start date for construction is spring 2027, and completion is planned for fall 2029.
