YIT Czechia has completed the approval process for the first phase of its Portti Kladno residential project. Two buildings with 85 flats designated for cooperative housing and two retail units are planned to be handed over to the investor – the Portti Kladno Housing Cooperative – during the summer. YIT is continuing construction and sales of the second phase, offering 102 flats for private ownership, with completion planned for autumn.
"The approval of the first phase represents a milestone for the whole Portti Kladno project, which is being built on the brownfield of former cold-storage facilities in Ke Stadionu street. We are pleased that we could offer cooperative housing as an alternative to buying one's own flat," says Dana Bartoňová, sales director of YIT Czechia. She adds: "The project also confirms that outside Prague there is strong demand for quality, modern housing. Those interested in ownership can now choose from the last dozen flats in Portti Kladno II, with the first owners moving in by the end of the year."
The second phase of Portti Kladno comprises 102 units ranging from studios to four-room flats, sized from 28 sqm to 99 sqm. All include balconies, terraces or front gardens.
The project, which will provide 187 flats in total, emphasises energy efficiency, public space and proximity to nature. The architectural design by ABM architekti connects to the surrounding development, preserving some mature trees and linking to nearby pedestrian and cycle routes. It will include a semi-private courtyard with a park and playground, pram storage and an outdoor washing spot for bikes and dogs. YIT uses sustainable features such as photovoltaic panels, green roofs, a rainwater retention tank, LED lighting and triple-glazed windows, alongside prefabrication technology.
The location combines urban living with access to nature, with sports facilities, an aquapark and the Bažantnice forest park nearby. Kladno's centre with full amenities is within a few minutes' walk, and regular train and bus links connect it to Prague in roughly 30–40 minutes, with a planned high-speed line set to speed up travel further.
