WE BUILD ON SUCCESS
The New Waltrovka project builds on the successful revitalization of a large area after the former very famous Walter aircraft engine factory. Between 2014–2021, a total of 74,000 m2 of office space, 700 residential units, a kindergarten and a two-hectare park open to the public were completed in this part of Prague's Jinonice in several stages of construction, as well as complete new civic amenities. By the combination of several architectural styles, a lively place with a pleasant atmosphere, in which the individual buildings do not look monotonous, has been created.
The area of today's Waltrovka is dominated by the square bearing the name of the founder of the original factory, Josef Walter, and a work designed by the well-known Czech artist David Černý became a significant part it. The metal statues of the legendary Pegasus, whose heads have been replaced by aircraft propellers powered by a mechanical motor, thus symbolize the famous industrial past of the place and represent a popular attraction here.
