Luxury living near Prague: Modřany development offers boutique hotel-style living

As Prague’s real estate market evolves, a new generation of living is taking shape in the south of the city. The Vanguard residential development, located in Modřany (Prague 12), offers a bold vision that redefines urban living—combining modern architecture, advanced amenities to help with daily life, and tailor-made interiors within a historic industrial setting.

With 150 lofts spanning a huge complex of over 16,000 square meters of over 13 floors, Vanguard offers an ideal opportunity for prime city dwelling that doesn’t break the bank.

Once a hub of Prague’s manufacturing boom, Modřany today balances its industrial heritage with a fresh wave of creativity and lifestyle offerings. Vanguard takes full advantage of this transformation, positioning residents just 10 minutes from the city center by car and three minutes from Prague Ring Road, with nearby bus and tram stops ensuring easy public transport access. 

Adventurous commuters can even travel to downtown Prague by motorboat—no license required—thanks to the development’s proximity to the Vltava River. Access to the Chuchle ferry and a private dock is just 15 minutes away, making it easy to reach the famous Chuchle racetrack.

The site is situated near several recreational areas for tranquil greenery. The Vltava cycling path is two minutes away, and scenic wooded parkland can be reached in five minutes by bicycle. For sports enthusiasts, a nine-hole golf course overlooking Vyšehrad is just minutes away.

The immediate vicinity includes a range of dining establishments from different international cuisines, such as the Italian-style Sasy Re and Croat cuisine Deco.

Vanguard redefines everyday living with a suite of amenities more often found in a luxury retreat. The wellness center—housed in a former underground shelter—features a Finnish sauna, steam room, whirlpool, crushed-ice fountain, and a striking 18-meter infinity pool, all designed for ultimate relaxation.

The state-of-the-art fitness center offers Technogym equipment with smart, personalized settings and virtual coaching, catering to both casual users and serious athletes.

For entertaining, the private Party Room includes a 300-centimeter screen, 4K projector, and Dolby Atmos sound, perfect for gatherings or business meetings—with a separate entrance for added privacy.

Topping it off, rooftop terraces open 24/7 offer panoramic views of Prague, a summer kitchen, outdoor sauna, and space for social events—making every day feel like a special occasion.

Vanguard’s 24/7 concierge service transforms everyday life into effortless comfort. Accessible via a dedicated app, the concierge can book private amenities, handle deliveries, and manage home maintenance.

It can even assist with personal needs such as childcare, pet care, travel planning, or event reservations. From the moment you move in, every detail is covered—so you can focus on enjoying your home.

What’s more, a central car lift that brings vehicles directly to residents’ doors makes life easier for Vanguard residents.

Vanguard celebrates individuality. Each of the 150 lofts offers a “White Wall” base—featuring clean finishes, underfloor heating, and smart home systems—giving owners total freedom to design and customize every inch. Residents can bring their own vision to life or collaborate with leading Czech designers to shape the interiors.

Whether you’re after minimalist chic or an industrial loft aesthetic, Vanguard lets you create a space that reflects your lifestyle and personality.

Built within the shell of the former Microna factory, Vanguard retains the original structure’s raw, reinforced-concrete skeleton—spanning over 16,000 square meters and offering floor heights of up to four and a half meters.

The building’s design has been spearheaded by the acclaimed OOX Architecture Studio, blending industrial authenticity with high-end finishes to create a living space that feels both innovative and timeless.

The Vanguard brings together a distinguished group of architects and designers, each contributing a unique perspective. Ivanka Kowalski, an award-winning interior designer educated in London, offers minimalist yet refined interiors. Studio SKULL blends art and craftsmanship, transforming abstract concepts into striking physical forms.

The project offers a range of apartment types to suit your needs, from a 1+kk all the way to a 4+kk. Several apartments offer balconies, front gardens, and rooftop terraces—over 225 square meters—that only enhance comfort and provide panoramic views of Vyšehrad and the surrounding area.

Handily, most apartments come with basement storage to keep any items, belongings, and furniture: undoubtedly helpful for your long-term future at Vanguard.
