CRESCO REAL ESTATE has launched apartment sales in the first phase of its Yards Žižkov residential development, which is being built on the site of Prague’s former Žižkov Freight Station. The project, developed in partnership with WOOD & Company, forms part of the wider regeneration of one of the capital’s largest redevelopment areas.
The two-phase scheme will deliver more than 1,100 apartments. According to the developer, demand has been strong since the launch of sales, with approximately one-third of the 100 units in Building B already sold after entering the market in May.
The first phase of the project will gradually bring more than 520 apartments to market, ranging from studio layouts to five-room family units. Apartment sizes will range from 20 sqm to 158 sqm. Most homes will include balconies, terraces or private gardens, together with storage space and parking facilities.
Construction began in May 2026, with the first residents expected to move into the development in 2028.
The project has been designed by QARTA Architektura and will target the highest energy-efficiency category. Residential units will feature air conditioning, underfloor heating, triple-glazed windows and external shading systems. Additional specifications include large-format aluminium windows, wooden flooring, modern bathrooms and security entrance doors.
The development will also incorporate green roofs, landscaped public areas and a private park for residents. Design elements inspired by the site’s industrial past are planned for both building facades and public spaces, reflecting the history of the former freight terminal.
Beyond housing, the project will include retail and service facilities, public spaces and green areas intended to support a mixed-use urban environment.
One of the key advantages of the development is its location within the rapidly changing Prague 3 district. New tram stops at Malešická and Nad Kapličkou will provide direct connections to the city centre, while daily amenities, schools and leisure facilities are planned within walking distance, in line with the principles of a so-called “15-minute city”.
Yards Žižkov forms part of the broader redevelopment of the former Žižkov Freight Station area, which is expected to become one of Prague’s most significant new urban districts over the coming years, combining residential, commercial and public functions within a large-scale regeneration project.
