Developer PSN has announced the refurbishment of a landmark corner property situated at the junction of Strossmayer Square and Janovského Street in Prague. The project, named Strossmayer Residence, will deliver 21 one- to three-bedroom apartments ranging from 57 to 167 m², alongside two non-residential units on the ground floor. Occupancy is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2029.
Designed by architect Richard Klenka, the Neo-Renaissance building was constructed between 1906 and 1910, sharing its historic timeline with the neighbouring Church of St Anthony, completed in 1914. Architectural features, including the decorated facade, cornices, and corner tower with its pyramidal roof, will be preserved. PSN is working alongside JKH Atelier to guide the restoration of both the exterior and the internal communal spaces.
The refurbishment plans include installing traditional timber double windows, restoring original interior doors, and redesigning the central courtyard. Storage units will be provided for each home in the basement, alongside a private resident fitness facility located on the first basement level. Apartments will be sold primarily in shell & core condition to allow buyer customisation, though fully finished fit-out units will be available on the top floor.
“With buildings like this, it is important to distinguish carefully between what needs to change and what is valuable precisely because it has survived. At Strossmayer Residence, we want to preserve the distinctive character of the original architecture while addressing the practical needs of everyday living. Alongside the refurbishment of the communal areas, the project will therefore include a storage unit for every apartment and a private gym,” says Lukáš Srch, Development Director at PSN.
The building is located between the Letná and Holešovice districts, providing access to local amenities including the Trade Fair Palace, Bio Oko cinema, and nearby green spaces at Stromovka Park and Letná Park.
“For many people, Strossmayer Square is a familiar landmark on their daily journeys through Prague. The residence offers an opportunity to make a home here, with advantages that extend beyond the architecture to the location itself: shops, cafés, cultural venues and public transport are all on the doorstep,” adds Jaroslav Macháč, Sales Director at PSN.
