DRFG has commenced construction of the 3 Dvory residential development in Újezd u Brna, marking the start of a project that will deliver 159 apartments alongside a kindergarten and local retail facilities. The scheme, located on Sportovní Street, is positioned to address sustained housing demand in the wider Brno metropolitan area, where new supply has recently slowed.
Population growth in the Brno-venkov district continues to be driven largely by migration, particularly among younger residents seeking housing outside the city while maintaining access to employment, education and services in Brno. At the same time, official data indicates a decline in residential completions in the area, pointing to a tightening supply pipeline.
Against this backdrop, the 3 Dvory project is designed to offer a mix of units ranging from studios to four-room apartments, combining suburban living with connectivity to Brno, approximately 25 kilometres away. In addition to residential units, the development will incorporate a kindergarten and small-scale retail, targeting a broad demographic including families, couples and individuals.
“Residence 3 Dvory is an important project for us, combining long-term investment logic with concrete benefits for the local community. Újezd u Brna has strong development potential due to its location, and our goal is to seize this potential responsibly. In addition to affordable apartments, we therefore also emphasise civic amenities, public space, and services for future residents and the wider environment,” said David Rusňák, Chairman of the Board of DRFG.
The scheme comprises six low-rise buildings arranged around three shared courtyards, with a focus on communal outdoor space. All apartments will include private outdoor areas such as terraces, balconies or gardens, as well as storage units. Parking will be provided at surface level, while the central courtyards are intended to support leisure and community interaction.
“The start of construction makes me very happy not only because there is a lot of interest in the project. The architectural solution complemented by above-standard civic amenities makes it a development that meets current trends and needs. In Újezd u Brna, a modern project with high-quality and affordable housing is being created that respects the character of the city,” said Jan Pelíšek, Director of DRFG Real Estate.
The development’s location provides access to nearby recreational infrastructure, including a sports hall, cycling routes and natural areas along the Litava River, supporting a mix of everyday and leisure activities.
Construction is being carried out by PORR through its Czech and Slovak division.
“We appreciate the opportunity to participate in a project by such a major developer as DRFG. Residence 3 Dvory builds on our experience in the construction of large-scale housing projects and confirms our ability to implement high-quality and functional housing on a larger scale. The PORR Group has long been one of the leading construction companies in Central Europe, with annual output in the order of billions of euros and thousands of completed projects, which allows us to transfer best practices to this project. We also appreciate the well-thought-out concept – from the quiet location with good accessibility to Brno to the emphasis on civic amenities and high-quality public space for future residents,” said Peter Suchý, CFO and Member of the Board of Directors at PORR.
