While many young families dream of owning a house, over the years, situations change. When children grow up and move into their own homes, a house can suddenly feel empty. Maintaining it becomes increasingly demanding, and if it’s located outside the city, commuting can become an inconvenience. People in this situation often start considering what’s next.

Living in the Heart of the Action

"They often decide to return to apartment living. They look for a new development in the center where everything is within reach. They expect top-tier design and modern technology that will last for years, enhance their living experience, and save costs," says Sebastien Dejanovski from the development company MINT, the team behind the Metropolis project.

This new development appeals to those making this lifestyle shift. According to Dejanovski, Metropolis was designed precisely for this more discerning clientele. It even offers apartments with private gardens, a rare find in the city center, as well as large terraces with landscaped greenery. And all this just a stone’s throw from the Danube, shops, and theaters.

"Metropolis properties are also being purchased by Slovaks working abroad who want the comfort and privacy of their own home when visiting Bratislava. Again, this is a demanding clientele whose expectations we can meet."

Modern Technology Enhances Comfort and Increases Property Value

This project stands out not only for its unique M-shaped design but also for its ambition to be the highest-quality new development in the area. For owners of older houses or apartments, this can be a significant change and a key reason to buy. Sometimes, switching to a new home is easier than retrofitting modern technologies into an older property.

"Interested buyers see that in a quality new development, they don’t need to consider installing external blinds, ceiling cooling and heating, or a ventilation system. At Metropolis, all the latest technologies are already included, and they can even be controlled remotely via mobile apps," explains Sebastien Dejanovski.

They specifically chose more expensive, yet proven suppliers with excellent reputations—autonomous ventilation systems from Wolf, ceiling heating and cooling from Rehau, and external blinds from Climax/Somfy. All the technologies used are designed to serve the apartment owners for the long term, while also helping to preserve the property’s value due to its sought-after location.

Buying Apartments for Themselves

He adds that the greatest endorsement of the project’s quality is the fact that the majority of apartments in Metropolis are being purchased by owners for their own use. They plan to live there or are buying for their close relatives or family members for their visits to the capital.

Today, Metropolis already has fully furnished model apartments where potential buyers can see the quality of the materials firsthand. "The standard includes triple-layer solid wood floors, threshold-free security doors, large-format Italian gres tiles and flooring, as well as premium German bathroom fixtures," the developer explains.

Attention has also been given to the design of the common areas and the lobby, which will operate 24 hours a day. Even the garage entrances, often overlooked, are designed with care, enhancing residents’ overall feeling of comfort.

And What About Monthly Costs?

When moving into a new development, people naturally expect slightly lower monthly energy costs. The architectural solutions, materials, and technologies used push the highest energy class A0 even further.

"Thanks to the materials and technologies used, the expected monthly operational costs will be 25% to 30% lower than in surrounding new developments," says Sebastien Dejanovski.

Although most of the apartments in Metropolis already have new owners, attractive apartments of various sizes, on different floors, and with appealing views are still available.
