The investor of the Emonika project is Mendota Invest, which is owned by OTP, Hungary’s largest banking group. Although the construction of Emonika will take place in parallel with the construction of Passenger Center Ljubljana (PCL), the two projects are not connected and do not have the same investors.
“Emonika is OTP Group’s major investment in Slovenia. It symbolises our respect for Slovenian society and our deep belief in the future of the Slovenian economy. It also shows our commitment to fostering mutually beneficial partnerships. I am convinced that the project will create added value for the city and its residents, while also representing a significant step forward for the Slovenian real estate market, as there has never been a commercial real estate project of such complexity and scale in the capital,” said Sándor Csányi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OTP Group.
Pál Forgács, Director of Mendota Invest, added: “This important milestone is a crucial step in the realisation of our vision and goals. We are convinced that Emonika will become not only an architectural symbol but also an economic and social centre.”
The complex will feature 187 apartments, including penthouse apartments with city views. The spacious apartments with high-quality fittings will provide modern living and maximum comfort. The apartments will have their own parking spaces and storage rooms.
In the northern part of the complex, there will be 15,000 sqm of office space suitable for company headquarters and tenants. Capacity will also be supplemented by the highest office building in Ljubljana in the southern part, which will provide 20,000 sqm of additional office space. In addition to the office building, there will be a shopping centre with an area of 21,500 sqm and 80 retail shops. The complex will also include two hotels – the first with three stars and more than 180 rooms and the second with four plus stars and more than 200 rooms and serviced apartments. Both hotels will offer a unique guest experience within a natural and relaxing environment.
The complex will be one of the first multi-purpose buildings in Ljubljana with a BREEAM certificate and a “very good” rating and the leading environmentally sustainable building in Slovenia. With the certificate, Emonika demonstrates its sustainable orientation and responsibility towards the environment, which also manifests itself in its economic efficiency.
CBRE South Eastern Europe is the exclusive leasing consultant for office and retail space, and it will also provide retail consultancy services for this project.
