YIT Slovakia has reached a significant regulatory milestone in the development of its Mlynárka project in Bratislava. Following the building placement decision issued by the district in November 2025, the developer obtained legal planning permission on 18 December 2025 for the first phase of the development, comprising blocks B, C, and E. This approval allows the company to transition the project into the next phase of the formal authorisation process.
The complex aims to revitalise an extensive brownfield of a former panel factory in Ružinov, which the developer is now implementing according to the winning design by Sadovsky & Architects studio. The overall development vision includes more than 1,700 apartments for over 2,500 residents. These will be complemented by extensive civic amenities and elements supporting community life.
"The issued planning decision represents an important step in the transformation of an area that currently has enormous potential in the context of Bratislava's expanding downtown. Our vision is that in a few years, a non-functional industrial area will become a mixed-use zone that meets the highest demands for modern urban development," says Tomáš Augustín, development and project management director at YIT Slovakia.
The first phase consists of three blocks B, C and E, which will bring 457 residential units and additional spaces with various functional uses. Blocks B and C are designed as residential buildings with complementary services on the ground floor. Block B will offer 228 and block C 229 residential units of various categories. Block E will be an administrative landmark with services and shops on the ground floor. The first phase includes nearly 996 parking spaces, of which 909 will be located underground.
