Rezidence Eliška, Residential skyscraper in Vysočany, Czech Republic.
Rezidence Eliška is a 93.6-metre residential high-rise at the corner of Freyova and Ocelářská streets in Prague-Vysočany. It has 27 above-ground floors, 25 of them residential, and 5 underground levels, containing 314 apartments and 51 non-residential units. Its large factory-like windows recall the district's industrial past.
Construction started in 2011 and finished in 2013, bringing modern housing to the Vysočany district. The project reflected the area's development during a period of urban growth and renewal.
The facade's large factory-style windows recall Vysočany's past as an industrial district, an inspiration the architects took from the surroundings. The building's name, Eliška, is not explained in the sources. The lower floors once held a fitness centre and a café, both closed in 2021.
Rezidence Eliška stands at the corner of Freyova and Ocelářská streets in Prague 9-Vysočany, near the Vysočany transport hub. It is a private residential building, so visits are limited to the exterior; the 99 garage and 84 outdoor parking spaces serve residents, not the public.
Rezidence Eliška was the tallest residential building in the Czech Republic from its completion in 2013 until early 2018, when the 104-metre V Tower on Pankrác surpassed it. Its 25th floor holds a penthouse with three terraces.
