And OF LOVE it does that with even more authenticity and charm. It is no coincidence that Ljubljana hides love in its name. One of the etymological explanations states that the name Ljubljana derives from “loved”, which is not far from the truth. Every- one who has ever stayed in Ljubljana, regard- less whether for several days or their whole life, falls in love with the city. Urban and green. History and contemporariness.

Small, becoming more and more interesting for foreign investors and Ljubljana builds its story on the lasting development and the yet diverse European capital, which has for the past several foreigners, whom it stole their heart and now they are building green future of the city.

A special housing policy was established in the 2010 urban plan for Ljubljana which enabled 40,000 new apartments. At that time, the price of an apartment was €3,000/m² (ex- cluding tax) and I can assure you the price of these will cap at €2,000/m², because the city will offer many opportunities for the construction of other new apartments. The housing type isn’t dependent on the municipality, which only prescribes the basic parameters. It is important that anyone building knows who they’re selling to, while the range of builders and dwell- ings must be broad. Ljubljana is a city where there isn’t a great difference in the level of apartments, there are only a few very exclusive apartments.
