More information about the property
Slovakia Sotheby’s International Realty offers for sale an investment apartment comprising four self-contained units on Gorkého Street in the historic centre of Bratislava - Old Town.
The property represents a residential investment asset with an efficiently structured rental model in a location characterised by consistently strong demand for city-centre accommodation. The apartment is situated in an architecturally significant Functionalist building designed by prominent Slovak architect Emil Belluš, adding an important architectural dimension beyond its income-generating potential.
The 130 sqm apartment underwent a complete renovation and layout reconfiguration in 2020, resulting in four independent units. The original main entrance from the common corridor has been retained and leads into a shared internal hallway providing access to the individual units. Each unit features its own bathroom, kitchenette with appliances, air conditioning and furniture, making the property ready for immediate rental use. Three units are oriented northwest towards a quiet inner courtyard facing Laurinská Street, with one of them benefiting from a balcony. A 6 sqm storage unit located in the attic of the building also belongs to the apartment.
Four separate rental units held under a single ownership structure allow for diversification of rental income while simplifying the overall management of the property. The concept is particularly suitable for an investor seeking a stabilised residential asset in the city centre rather than a conventional large-scale apartment dependent on a single tenancy.
From an investment perspective, Gorkého Street represents an established rental address in central Bratislava. The proximity of Comenius University facilities, including the Faculty of Arts on Gondova Street and the Faculty of Law together with the University Rectorate on Šafárikovo Square, broadens the potential tenant base to include university students, international doctoral candidates and young professionals. Further advantages include walking distance to the historic centre, services, public transport and employment opportunities throughout the wider city centre.
About the Property
The mixed-use building at Gorkého 9 was designed by Emil Belluš in 1942 for the Mortgage and Municipal Bank and completed in 1943. Its architecture follows the principles of late interwar modernism, defined by a symmetrical composition, restrained monumentality and a refined travertine-clad façade. Sculptural emblems on the frontage remain a visible reminder of the building’s original banking function.
The residential building is well maintained and structurally designed as a reinforced-concrete frame with brick infill. Natural stone has been used throughout the common areas, while the property also features a lift and electronic entry system. A civil defence shelter is located in the basement.
