The city of Brno has obtained a final building permit for the second stage of the cooperative housing development at Kamenný vrch II. Together with the previously approved first stage, this allows the city to launch the tender process for a contractor to build the entire project, which is budgeted at around CZK 2.3 billion. The development will deliver 334 apartments, and demand for the units remains strong, according to city officials.
Kamenný vrch is the city’s pilot site for cooperative housing, designed to provide a more affordable alternative to commercial residential projects. The scheme has faced delays of several years, but the current steps clear the way for construction. A public procurement process is already underway to secure technical supervision and occupational safety oversight, with bids accepted until 15 September. The contract for the general contractor will follow. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2026, with completion expected in 2029.
Interest in the project has been steady since applications opened in 2018. Of the initial 800 applicants, 206 remained active candidates earlier this year. A new application round, held between May and June 2025, attracted additional interest, and the city has confirmed there are now sufficient applicants to allocate the units, though registration remains open.
Brno is also preparing cooperative housing in other parts of the city. Planned sites include Aleja, Přízřenice, and the area bordered by Francouzská, Hvězdová, Bratislavská, and Stará streets. In addition, cooperative apartments are planned as part of a reconstruction project at Mostecká Street 16.
