AFI Europe has just completed the first apartment building, AFIHOME Kolbenova, in the newly emerging multifunctional district of AFI City in Prague 9 – Vysočany. Altogether, it will offer 313 rental units in layouts from one to four rooms with kitchenettes and it will be possible to move in next May. XXXLutz and ProCeram will contribute to the interior furnishings of the apartments. The project will also include retail spaces designated for shops and services, which will complement the local civic amenities.
"Our end of the year is in the spirit of completion along with a number of important milestones. This year we have the completed construction approval for three different rental housing projects: AFIHOME Třebešín, which is already almost completely occupied, AFIHOME Karlín, where we have prepared the first showroom apartments, and currently also the first phase of AFIHOME Kolbenova, which is our largest rental housing project so far,” explained Elena Pisotchi, Sales and Marketing Manager of AFI Europe, adding: "The first building of AFIHOME Kolbenova will be furnished in stages of approximately 20 to 30 apartments. The realised interior will include a fully prepared living room with sofa and other furniture, a kitchenette, wardrobes in the hallway and bedroom, where there will also be a bed and bedside tables, and also storage space in the bathroom. The first tenants will move in at the beginning of May 2023.”
The construction of the expansive AFI City neighbourhood in a Vysočany brownfield started in 2016 and is now getting clear outlines. ‘The rental housing function is a suitable complement to this area. We will personally take care of the maintenance and administration of the building, arranging a reception in the lobby with a 24-hour security. The residents do not have to worry about parking spaces, which are available in the building’s underground level. The residence is situated directly at the metro station B – Kolbenova, which ensures rapid transport to the centre of Prague,” said Elena Pisotchi.
The revitalisation of the 15-hectare plot includes a total of 110,000 m2 office, retail and accommodation space and 40,000 m2 of apartments. Six buildings have been completed with a total of 473 ownership apartments and 313 rental apartments, which have already completely sold out, with the first tenants moving in next spring. Another 327 rental units are currently under construction in the second phase. The first of the office buildings has already gone up in the neighbourhood, AFI City 1 with more than 17,000 m2 of leasable space, the majority tenant of which is Škoda Auto. In addition, a large park with well-maintained greenery, a central promenade, a children's playground and sitting areas has been created here.
