Global cities value waterside developments – near rivers, lakes, and seas – as they deliver scenic backdrops and high-quality public spaces. Situated along the picturesque Danube riverside, Eurovea has already delivered Slovakia’s first skyscraper, as well as modern offices, a bigger and even better shopping center, exciting public spaces (an additional 400 meters of promenade), and leafy Pribinova Boulevard – all based on the inspiring vision of leading architect and urban planner Beth Gali. Multifunctional Ganz House will be developed on a triangular plot between Pribinova and Čulenova Streets, reflecting the locale’s city-building character.
IN THE UNIQUE LOCATION OF EUROVEA CITY
Sixty-five unique flats and apartments will be spread over eight floors: one-room (1), two-room (26), three-room (27), and four-room (11). Apartments on the lower six residential floors will have covered loggias for added comfort. The stylish building will be topped by an exceptional collection of premium penthouses with spacious and panoramic roof terraces. Homeowners will enjoy a welcoming 24/7 reception area, a 200-space underground garage with e-charging stations, as well as residences with great layouts, comfort, and all the advantages of city center living – combining work and relaxation on the attractive Eurovea City waterfront. Eurovea’s extensive range of shops, services, and leisure options can be found just across from Pribinova Boulevard, the Slovak National Theatre is opposite, the historic city center is within a pleasant walking distance, and the popular waterfront promenade has attractive green areas and quality restaurants.
GREEN BOUTIQUE OFFICES
The nine-floor office zone will aim for the highest BREEAM sustainability rating, WELL certification for a healthy indoor environment and carbon neutrality, and SBC (Smart Building Certification) for state-of-the-art technology. Ganz House’s 10,000 sq m of boutique offices feature an “active core” to regulate indoor temperatures by utilizing the building’s mass to accumulate thermal energy (instead of additional installations of conventional HVAC systems), such as central air conditioning ductwork. All components are either integrated into the concrete structure or located outside the usable area. The concrete core activation system for the new layouts of rooms usually prevents costly construction modifications – which is a big plus.
Ganz House’s commercial premises (1,100 sq m) will be more investment, energy, and operationally efficient than conventional systems. Offices on the two highest floors will have terraces, photovoltaic panels will be installed on the roof, and the first floor will feature facilities for cycle commuters. The office part will include spaces for rent, and the first floor of the apartment part will also have 11 offices (35 sq m to 110 sq m) for sale.
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT
Ganz House will embrace the latest developments and standards for living and working – with a focus on quality, functionality, aesthetics, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Optimal flexibility will combine housing, office, and commercial space all in one building – uniting proven urban planning principles within the Eurovea City waterfront district. Ganz House’s clean lines and location-sensitive height will complement the location’s urbanity and compositionally complete Pribinova and Čulenova Streets. The building will have an attractive facade and a welcoming ground-floor public space. Ganz House will be the fruit of Compass Architect studio’s compelling vision.
WHAT’S BEHIND THE GANZ HOUSE NAME?
The name is inspired by Ganz Budapest – a companywhose trams were a common sight in this industrial area of Bratislava over a century ago. Ganz House also expresses continuity with the city’s trilingual history, with the German word “ganz” describing the building’s multipurpose role. Construction began in 2024 and completion is scheduled for 2026.
