Plzeň - The Plzeň-based company IKO will build a new residential area for 1,000 to 1,500 people in the suburban district of Újezd, towards Prague. This is one of the largest housing projects in Plzeň. They have already purchased all the plots, including former cow sheds, said Michal Chalupný (ČSSD), the mayor of the fourth municipal district, to ČTK. In Plzeň-Újezd, which still lives like a village, there are 5,000 to 6,000 residents, many of whom are not registered permanently. There is a high demand for apartments here.

"This is probably the last construction that received a building permit there because Újezd has a low water supply. Other projects will have problems with water connections," the mayor stated. The district has been pressing the city since last September, which has already commissioned a study for a temporary solution that would secure additional water supply within two to three years. If new pipes have to be built, it would take five times longer, the mayor added.

IKO will begin construction on half of the housing estate at the time when the reconstruction of Červenohrádecká Street, planned by the region and the city this year or next year, starts. A roundabout will be built there, which the estate will
