Former Kovoprojekt site to be converted into a new urban neighbourhood. Discover MILROSE!

Some places don’t need a fresh start. They need a strong continuation and that is the idea behind the MILROSE project.

For many years, this plot of land was part of the former Kovoprojekt complex. Its surroundings have changed, and today it is a part of a vibrant urban neighbourhood. MILROSE is not being built on a greenfield site, or at the city outskirts, but in the heart of an area that is already bustling with urban life.

In the spring of 2026, after obtaining a building permit, the INTRADE Group’s project entered the implementation phase. Preparatory work began, including the demolition of the Kovoprojekt building. The new MILROSE project will complement the existing Ružová dolina neighbourhood. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2029.

A place that connects two worlds

MILROSE is being developed at the intersection of Miletičova and Ružová dolina. These two adjacent neighbourhoods each have their own unique atmosphere. Miletičova is bustling with life, with a market, shops, services, and popular bars and restaurants. Ružová dolina is quieter, more residential, and surrounded by greenery.

“The project is situated at the intersection of these two environments. It was precisely this balance between urban life and residential comfort that was key for us when choosing a new name and defining the overall project direction,” said Ján Krištofík, CEO of INTRADE Group.

The idea of connecting these two worlds is also reflected in the project’s name. The original working name, Nový Trh, was in the end replaced by MILROSE, a name that combines Miletičova and Ružová dolina—the two neighbourhoods the project connects.

The location offers the same balance. The market, schools, sports facilities, parks, services, and popular businesses are an integrated part of everyday life. That’s why this part of Ružinov is among the most sought-after addresses in Bratislava.

Architecture that respects the site

The design of MILROSE was created by the Architekti Šebo Lichý studio. There will be three blocks with separate entrances that form a single urban complex. The project builds on the existing development and complements it with new pedestrian connections, public spaces, and a passageway linking Ružová dolina, the market, and Miletičova.

The design of MILROSE takes into consideration the life surrounding it. The architects drew inspiration from successful international projects, such as the Markthal in Rotterdam and the Naschmarkt in Vienna. These examples demonstrate that high-quality architecture can integrate housing, public space, and the city’s everyday life.

“Miletičova, with its market, is an urban phenomenon. From the very beginning, we weren’t looking to create a landmark, but to complement this vibrancy and provide a backdrop to it. The MILROSE architecture will have its own identity, while respecting the character of the surroundings and enhancing the entire neighbourhood,” said architect Tomáš Šebo of the Architekti Šebo Lichý studio.

What MILROSE will bring

MILROSE will contain 301 apartments, as well as retail and service spaces on the ground floor, 440 underground parking spaces, and 286 storage units. The project will also include new pedestrian connections, a pedestrian arcade, relaxation areas, and high-quality public spaces that will connect Ružová dolina, the market, and Miletičova.

After obtaining the building permit, and preparatory work, the demolition of the Kovoprojekt building began in spring 2026. This will be followed by the construction of the MILROSE project, which is scheduled for completion in 2029.

Project timeline

• Spring/Summer 2026 – building permit and preparatory work
• 1Q 2027 – start of construction
• 2026–2028 – construction
• End of 2029 – project completion and final inspection

MILROSE will be more than just a new address in Bratislava. It will be built on a site with its own history and character, which the project aims to add to. The goal is to create an urban neighbourhood that combines high-quality architecture, public spaces, and housing that will make it an integrated part of life in this area.
