Nová Zbrojovka – a place where history meets the future

About the project

On the 22.4 hectares of the former industrial site of Zbrojovka Brno, a project unparalleled in the Czech Republic is being built.
Nová Zbrojovka is more than just the revitalisation of a brownfield – it is a complex transformation into a fully-fledged, self-sufficient and technologically advanced district that brings life back to this historic site.

Under the leadership of CPI Property Group, a unique combination of housing, work, services, culture and entertainment is being created here. The project sensitively builds on the industrial heritage and at the same time brings modern architecture and innovation confirmed by the prestigious BREEAM Communities certification – the first urban district in the Czech Republic.

The uniqueness of the project

• Scale and comprehensiveness – housing for 6,500 residents, 15,000 jobs, schools, sports facilities, shops, waterfront park and central square
• Urban concept – a city of short distances with well thought out transport connections and cycling infrastructure
• Technological maturity – green roofs with photovoltaics, community shared power plant, energy efficient buildings
• Respect for history – preservation of industrial landmarks and their integration into contemporary architecture
• Phased implementation – precise construction plan with continuity of individual stages and minimization of traffic constraints

Our role

We are involved in the project as part of the Morizz Residence in the role of technical supervision, cost management and health and safety coordinator. Building A is permitted as a multifunctional building for housing and accommodation. K4 is involved in the project.
