Nearly 1,000 residents are expected to move into Building A11 in Zagreb’s Podbrežje district next year, which comprises 288 flats, Deputy Mayor Luka Korlaet told Hina.
This marks the first major wave of move-ins under the city’s social housing programme. In the same neighbourhood, Building A2 with 150 flats is under construction, with move-ins expected in around three years. Meanwhile, 600 units are planned for Borovo and around 100 for Sveta Klara.
In total, the city’s housing fund is set to grow by approximately 1,200 flats over the next five years, accommodating around 3,600 people. The city currently manages a stock of around 6,500 flats.
Demand significantly outstrips supply: 1,500 households have applied for social rent, and 1,150 for affordable rent.
Supporting infrastructure is being built alongside the housing. A new kindergarten has opened in Podbrežje, while the local primary school is in the design phase. In Borovo, a kindergarten has been completed, and the extension of the local primary school is currently underway.
