UBM Development Czechia has completed the structural frame of its Rezidence Na Plzeňce residential project in Prague 5, near Smíchov railway station. The building is being constructed on a former brownfield site and is contributing to the gradual transformation of this part of the city. Completion is planned for the second half of 2027.
With the structural phase complete, work has covered all load-bearing elements including walls, ceilings and the roof, with window installation under way in parallel. The next phase will focus on the roof cladding, facade and interior fit-out, including technical services and internal partitions. Work on the adjacent Na Plzeňce street is also progressing, with technical infrastructure in place and paving and asphalt nearing completion. A blue-green infrastructure system is being used to retain rainwater in tree root zones.
"We are pleased that construction of Rezidence Na Plzeňce is proceeding to plan and beginning to approach its final form. We are also pleased that at this stage of construction the project is almost sold out. We see this as confirmation of strong demand for quality housing in the popular Smíchov area, with an emphasis on energy efficiency and resident comfort," said Josef Wiedermann, managing director of UBM Development Czechia.
The development, situated between Nádražní and Strakonická streets, comprises 160 units ranging from studios to four-room apartments, with sizes from 28 sqm to 119 sqm. Most units include a balcony, terrace or garden, with views of the Prague skyline from the upper floors. Specification includes timber flooring, large-format windows with wooden frames and triple glazing, and underfloor heating with a supplementary cooling function. Selected units will also include heat recovery ventilation. The building will include storage cellars, parking for conventional and electric vehicles, and four ground-floor commercial units.
The building holds an energy class A rating and will use geothermal boreholes and heat pumps for heating, cooling and hot water, supplemented by rooftop photovoltaic panels. Electric vehicle charging points will also be provided.
Rezidence Na Plzeňce is located close to Smíchovské nádraží, with a tram stop directly outside the development and metro line B, rail and bus connections within reach. The surrounding area includes shops, schools, healthcare facilities, restaurants and green spaces along the Vltava river.
