There is no residential building in Zagreb with a green roof where there will be promenades, recreation area and a party place.

Residential trends in quality new construction in Zagreb are changing significantly. What was on the market and could pass 10 years ago, today does not pass. Investors have a hard time finding buyers for buildings that are too close to neighboring objects, with poor views, with little greenery in the surroundings, poor quality of execution, far from schools, kindergartens, public transportation…

A quality location is now the key to higher-quality new construction. Such house buyers are "more relaxed", but also more informed and demand the maximum for their money. This is best demonstrated by the new offerings on the real estate market in the urban, lower part of Zagreb, which, with technical solutions and standards of comfortable housing, stands alongside Western European trends, and moreover shows that more elitist living is no longer tied only to the northern part of the city and the strict center.

Alfa house

The building in Veslačkoj in Cvjetnom naselju, Alfa house company, is a characteristic part of this new offer. One of the attractions will be an attractive green roof with an area of 1500 square meters, most of which will be open to residents, who will thus have a guaranteed space for socializing with an outdoor kitchen, and the recreation area will be arranged with outdoor fitness equipment, promenade, sunbathing area. At the top of the building will be a dozen two-story apartments. The building's energy class will be A, the ceiling height will be three meters, and the building will have its own maintenance service for regular maintenance.

In this way, in the location in the city itself, within the "old" settlement, living space is offered that enters the higher class than what was usually offered in new construction. We talked about this trend with project manager Dario Jurić and sales manager Ivan Mandić from Alfa house.

The company has recently presented urban villas in Jordanovcu, called "Home of the future", which also technically outdo the previous offerings of real estate in Croatia.

- Things have changed significantly. As an investor, it is important for us to detail the possible location for construction, we investigate how desirable the environment is for life. We consider proximity to available attractive and public amenities, traffic connections, communal infrastructure, schools, kindergartens... - says Dario Jurić.

The residential-commercial building in Veslačkoj consists of a basement, ground floor and four floors. The area is 19,830 square meters. It will have 122 apartments with 29 to 226 square meters. From the building, a view of the Sava River, the Zagrabello football center and the green square, which is part of the object, can be seen. At the top of the building is a dozen attractive two-story apartments with more than 150 square meters, including a green roof, creating the impression of living in family homes.

By changing the previous practice in which the green roof was considered an additional floor, and its square meterage therefore influenced the urban parameters of construction, the green roof has finally been accepted by city authorities as a solution that raises the quality of life, as in Western European countries.

- Its implementation is significantly more expensive than a standard roof, but it ensures additional value of the property and a new living experience - says Dario Jurić.

2700 euros

The building will have the most efficient heating and cooling elevators, which use underground water, and each apartment will be energy-independent. The big plus is that there is an open view from almost all directions of the building.

The advantage of the novelty is that the agreement on future maintenance of the object is included in the purchase of the apartment. Namely, the non-compliance with household order and poor maintenance of the building has shown to be a major problem of quality living in Zagreb. Alfa house has drawn up a form for reporting defects on the website and appointed a team for maintenance.

The prices of apartments in the building in Veslačkoj will be slightly higher than standard prices for new construction in this part of the city, from 2300 to 2700 euros. The standard in that part of the city is 2100-2300 euros. The architect of the object is Svebor Andrijević. The completion of construction is expected in summer 2018.

DUBRAVKO RANILOVIĆ, HGK: ‘There is a lack of decent apartments from 1600 euros per square meter’

- We are talking about apartments for the higher middle class, which, in terms of price, exceed 2000 euros per square meter. In this segment of housing and construction, a quality location with complete infrastructure has become almost all. The northern part of the city, for the most part, no longer pass, except for a few streets, but attract buyers in good location in the center and wider city center - says Dubravko Ranilović, president of the Real Estate Business Association of HGK.

This trend, adds Ranilović, has led to the construction of quality apartments in the center of Zagreb, which has started the company VMD, and increasingly, Alfa house is also present. Cvjetno naselje, although not in the center, is an attractive Zagreb micro-location. In investments of this kind, explains Ranilović, both the location and the quality equipment of the building come into play, as well as the engagement of experienced architects, because for the investor "mistakes are not allowed".

- However, we have in Zagreb another problem - the lack of decent new construction at a price of around 1600 euros per square meter, that is, something that would be standard - concludes Dubravko Ranilović.
