Czech investment group RS Group is launching one of its largest residential developments, ELEMENT Malesice, in the Malešice district of Prague. The mixed-use building on Počernická street, located five minutes' walk from Malešický park, will offer more than 200 new apartments, with presales now open.
"Malešice is one of Prague's most underestimated locations. People think of it as a distant housing estate, yet it is significantly closer to Vinohrady and the city centre than most realise. By public transport you can reach Vinohrady in 10 or 15 minutes. That is why we chose it for one of our largest projects," said Robert Sekera, founder and owner of RS Group.
The development targets economically active young people, including individuals, couples and young families. The unit mix includes studio apartments, 1.5-room units combining a compact layout with a partially separated sleeping or working area, and standard two- and three-room apartments. Architect Martina Wágnerová designed the floor plans around real furniture dimensions and everyday scenarios, such as where a pram or bicycle can be stored near the entrance, or whether space exists beside a bed for a cot.
"On a floor plan almost every apartment looks fine. But then people move in and find the wardrobe does not fit in the bedroom and the pram ends up in the living room. We wanted every square metre to work in real daily life, not just in a visualisation," Sekera explained.
The project sets air conditioning, external shading systems, vinyl flooring and full-height ceramic bathroom tiling as standard inclusions rather than optional upgrades. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2027, with handover expected in early 2029. A bus and tram stop will be built directly beside the development. RS Group is a Czech investment group with 25 years of experience in real estate, covering residential, hotel and social infrastructure projects across the country.
