Manhattan House, Bratislava

Manhattan House is a modern residential tower on the Danube embankment with 47 floors and around 380 apartments plus retail spaces on the lower levels. The building combines housing and shopping vertically and offers direct access to public transportation and riverside areas.

The building rose after communism ended in 1989 and marks the start of a new era for Bratislava, when tall residential towers began reshaping the city. It was among the first modern residential high-rises and set standards for future construction in the area.

The building shows how modern city dwellers prefer to live today: stacked apartments with shops and services right below, everything in one place. It represents the shift in how people chose to live after 1989, when such tall residential towers were completely new to Bratislava.

The riverside location makes it easy to reach walkways, cycling paths, and transportation options. Visitors can explore the waterfront area and access the shops and services nearby while walking around.

The building was the first of its kind in the city and influenced other developers to build similar residential towers afterward. Its success showed that Bratislava was ready for this new type of construction.
