Emonika: Leading mixed-use real estate project in Slovenia

“Emonika is OTP Group’s major investment in Slovenia. It symbolises our respect to the 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.”

Sándor Csányi,
Chairman and CEO, OTP Group

Emonika rises from the storied grounds of ancient Emona, a remarkable testament to the legacy of the Roman Empire. Here, at the city's heart, the Forum served as a bustling epicentre of social, political, and economic life. Citizens and travellers alike gathered to enjoy cultural events, indulge in the comforts of the public baths, and engage in lively exchanges of goods and services.

Today Ljubljana's unique position at the crossroads of Europe serves as a vibrant hub, connecting the north and south, east and west. In the pulsating heart of Ljubljana, Emonika weaves a tapestry of heritage, innovation, and sustainability, placing residents in the midst of the city's cultural, business, and leisure activities while providing a tranquil haven to call home.

Central Station

Ljubljana's primary transport hub is a bustling centre for domestic and international travel services, with trains, buses, taxis, and shuttle services. It’s only a short walk from the main sights of the city.

The railway station was completed on 18 April 1848, a year before the railway connecting Vienna and Trieste reached Ljubljana. It was built as the first railway station in the city, according to a standard design for the Austrian Southern Railway, which is reminiscent of a clock tower.

12 min

Park Tivoli

Ljubljana's largest and most stunning green space seamlessly connects to the city centre via the picturesque Jakopič Promenade. At its culmination stands Tivoli Castle, housing the renowned International Centre for Graphic Arts.

Nestled on the park's northern edge, Cekin Manor hosts the Museum of Contemporary History of Slovenia, while the nearby Tivoli Hall boasts a versatile sports complex. Venture to the park's south-eastern end to explore a tropical greenhouse, a rose garden featuring over 160 varieties, an enchanting pond with a café, and a delightful playground.

The lush landscape of Tivoli Park extends into the slopes of Rožnik Hill, interwoven with walking paths and a trim trail equipped with fitness stations, inviting exploration and rejuvenation, and offering the benefits of nature in the heart of the city.

The Triple Bridge

As the name suggests, the Triple Bridge, or Tromostovje in Slovenian, consists of three bridges over the Ljubljanica River. The Triple Bridge is located in the very centre of the city, in the pedestrian zone, and is Ljubljana’s most famous and popular bridge, one that’s always bustling with activity.

Tromostovje is the work of the famous Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik, and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. On the right bank of the river, the bridge is complemented by a small flower shop and is connected to the Ljubljana Central Market, which was also designed by Plečnik.

Ljubljana Central Market

The Ljubljana Central Market is more than just an architecturally stunning shopping destination, it's also a vibrant social hub for locals to gather and connect. The main market encompasses an open-air market on Vodnik and Pogačarjev Squares, a covered market between the two squares, and the Plečnik Market Hall along the Ljubljanica River, featuring a two-story curved structure that follows the flow of the water.

Enhancing the market's appeal is an array of restaurants and street food kiosks. The central market area boasts fresh Slovenian fruits and vegetables from local farmers alongside tropical fruits, balcony flowers, and seedlings. Every Friday from mid-March through October, Pogačar Square comes alive with a renowned open-air food market, where skilled chefs from local restaurants craft delectable dishes inspired by both local and global cuisine.
