Recycled 'grey' water
When experts from Skanska join forces with the renowned architects from CHYBIK + KRISTOF ARCHITECTS & URBAN DESIGNERS studio, a modern 21st-century housing district without compromising on the challenges of the coming decades can be created. New homes in Modřanský cukrovar have a whole plethora of traditional and extra benefits. Some of them can also be found in our other development projects.
Benefits of this project
River
The greatest benefit in the Modřany area comes from nature itself – the view of the tree-lined river lazily flowing by never gets old. Most apartments in the new development have windows facing the river and buildings closer to the riverbank are shorter, meaning as many people as possible will be able to enjoy the view. The project involves revitalizing the riverside area, adding new elements like steps down to the water, open grassy areas and public grills.
Community
Good relationships between neighbors help people feel at home and improve the home culture in the area. At Modřanský cukrovar you can meet your neighbors in the courtyard with community flower beds and a swing.
Encounter the neighbors (by plan or by chance), watch the night sky reflected in the river, or celebrate with the family on the shared roof terrace, partly filled with garden beds and partly covered so you can enjoy the terrace in all weather.
Architecture
Before the architect drew the first line, Skanska had already initiated a planning group made up of city representatives, Modřany organizations, active citizens and experts. The commission for the architecture competition drew on their opinions and suggestions.
The winning bid from Chybík + Krištof Architects & Urban Designers aims to turn the original brownfield site into a new, functional and vibrant residential area. They plan to create a new subcenter for Modřany with a lively piazza, green parks, riverside and a wide array of activities in the area.
A lively piazza
The new blue-green development will center around a piazza with a fountain, lined with plane trees, honey locusts, shops, services, bistros and restaurants. The ground floors of the apartment buildings on Komořanská street and the piazza, which will be home to architecturally distinctive buildings with premium apartments, will provide up to 5000 m2 of commercial space for shops and services including a supermarket.
If you are interested in commercial space, please contact our real estate agents.
Cukrkandl Amphitheater
Cukrkandl: An architectural gem and a place for meeting people, farmers’ markets, and unique cultural events and performances. Located near the piazza, it overlooks the river and Radotínsko-Chuchelský háj beyond.
Housing benefits
Working from home
Lifestyles are changing and for many people their home is also their place of work. Every apartment is designed with this in mind: a suitable spot for your desk with plenty of natural light and connectivity.
High-end construction
Quality is a given, but to be truly exceptional you have to go a bit farther: tall doors, low windowsills, premium fixtures, high-end wood floors and certified materials. Together these things take a home to the next level. Top-floor apartments have up to 40 cm of extra headroom. Maisonettes will be built in the next phase of construction in the spots with the best views.
Interior design
Classic Czech brand RAKO worked with Czech designer Maxim Velčovský to create an original collection of sintered ceramic tiles called Linka. Our standard bathrooms are designed around this tile with baths, stand-up showers and hygienic rimless toilets.
Storage space
You can never have too much. All apartments come with a practical walk-in closet. Some front yards have their own storage for garden equipment. Balconies offer room for creativity with niches perfect for a storage box, bike hanger or vertical garden.
Outdoor areas
At Modřanský cukrovar everyone has a bit of privacy inside and outside, with elegant loggias, balconies and generous terraces. Balconies extending two meters are surprisingly spacious. Seven private terraces provide readymade roof gardens with garden beds already planted and connection points for a private hot tub. A rooftop oasis of green in the big city.
Parking
Modřanský cukrovar is almost car-free. Underground parking allows for convenient access between garage and building as well as a safe environment for playing children and anyone else outside in the parks and around the buildings. The garages also include practical details like a bicycle storage room and washing room for bicycles, strollers and muddy dog paws. Up to 30% of parking spots will have connectivity for a personal charging station. Another six shared charging stations will be available for anyone to use.
Choose a new apartment
in Modřanský cukrovar 1
You have an option to select your new home from a wide range of apartment layouts starting with investment, typically one or two-bedroom flats whose windows offer views not only of the river, the courtyard and the future square with many cafes, shops and services, but also of the poetic old Modřany. The green area between the apartment buildings and the road on the new Komořanska street is more than 30 metres wide and provides a pleasant distance from the hustle and bustle of the street. Larger, two to four bedroom apartments, have unique views of the Vltava River and the opposite Chuchle, which will remain a natural location in the future. Spacious terraces, loggias and wide balconies will allow for a comfortable stay outdoors during sunny days. The green roofs of the apartment buildings are adjacent to private terraces, but there is also a shared community terrace and thoughtful public spaces.
The high standard of living in the second courtyard of Modřanský cukrovar is underlined by large windows with a lowered sill, taller frameless doors, premium furnishings, hot water underfloor heating on which design vinyl slats with a rigid mineral core are set, as well as the distinctive design of Maxim Velčovský's paving. A smart video phone and smart home technology will be a practical help to your new home.
Near the surviving chimney we created a new center defined by three buildings inspired by the original sugar refinery: two production halls and a filtration building. Their silhouettes recall the original buildings and historical legacy of the city, serving as an orientation point when viewing from afar and forming a natural piazza for the nearby areas including the adjacent Čechova čtvrť.

Proud to be
from Modřany
According to folk tales, Modřany was named for a blue floodplain flower. Historians say the name more likely comes from a statue of the Slavic goddess Morana that once stood on a burial ground here. What we do know for certain is that during the 19th century Modřany transformed from an agricultural village south of Prague to an important industrial center. The river always played a vital role in Modřany life as a major means of transport. In 1861 a sugar refinery opened on the banks of that river, playing its own role in the area for the next 140 years.
Today only remnants remain: the chimney and sugar loaf in the coat of arms for Prague 12.
Introducing Modřanský cukrovar
We draw inspiration from the past, but we do not try to go backwards. This location calls for a modern, sustainable residential development to bring the area back to life. At the same time, however, it allows us to work with local history and keep a number of elements such as the distinctive brick chimney. That and the river itself will attract the attention they deserve.
