Growing supply of quality new developments

The city of Rijeka is increasingly becoming home to numerous new residential projects.

Most sought-after neighborhoods in Rijeka

Zamet

One of the most popular neighborhoods for families. It offers good transport connections, proximity to schools, kindergartens, sports facilities, and shopping centers. New developments in Zamet often offer sea views and modern apartment layouts.

Turnić and Kantrida

An excellent mix of urban convenience and proximity to the sea. New developments in these areas attract buyers due to their closeness to the Kantrida pool complex, beaches, and the western city exit. Quality buildings with elevators, garages, and energy efficiency are being built here.

Donji and Gornji Zamet

Though part of the same broader area, Donji Zamet is more urban and accessible, while Gornji Zamet offers more peace and greenery. New builds in both parts are increasingly in demand due to the good ratio of price, size, and amenities.

Martinkovac and Srdoči

Ideal for those seeking tranquility and a modern living space, but without the hustle of the city. New builds in these areas often include parking, yards, and panoramic views, while prices per square meter are still more affordable compared to the center.

Trsat

A more upscale area with cultural, historical, and academic significance. New developments here are priced higher but also enjoy high demand, especially among those seeking a prestigious location and good views.

Škurinje

A former industrial area now undergoing transformation. New developments are increasingly built along main roads, and further development of infrastructure and amenities is expected.

City center

Although there is limited space for new construction, some luxury buildings are emerging right in the city core. Ideal for those who want walking access to all amenities.

If you're looking for a family-friendly new build - Zamet, Srdoči, and Martinkovac offer a great balance of price and quality. If you want luxury and views - Trsat, Turnić, and Kantrida are very appealing. And for investing in a developing area - Škurinje and parts of Rujevica could be a smart move.

New development - advantages of modern living

Modern design and space layout

New buildings are designed according to contemporary living standards, with emphasis on open spaces, functionality, optimal lighting, and high-quality materials. They often include spacious terraces, large glass walls, and modern interior organization solutions.

Energy efficiency

New builds are constructed according to the latest energy regulations, meaning better insulation, higher-quality windows, more efficient heating and cooling systems, and lower utility costs. Many of these buildings fall under energy class A or higher.

Fewer initial investments

Since everything is new – from installations to flooring – moving into a new build requires no additional investment in renovations or upgrades. Buyers get a fully functional and presentable space right away.

Developer guarantees

Unlike older properties, new builds often come with warranties on certain parts of the building (e.g. waterproofing, installations, facade), offering additional security.

Smart installations and modern technology

Many new developments include smart home features: video intercoms, remote control systems for lighting, heating, or shutters, enhancing daily life quality.

Proper documentation and co-ownership setup

Buying a new build means clean paperwork, condominium ownership registration, and clear title deeds, greatly simplifying the purchase process and potential financing.

Attractive locations

Many new developments are built in promising urban locations, near essential amenities like schools, kindergartens, shops, and public transport, as well as in developing areas where property values are expected to rise.

If you are looking for a home without additional investment, with modern standards and long-term value, a new development is a highly attractive option.
