Emonika Project and Ljubljana Railway Rearrangement

Emonika Project and Ljubljana Railway Rearrangement

The Emonika Project envisages a commercial part (business tower, hotel, apartments, shopping mall) and a public logistics part (a railway and bus station) in Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana.

In the past, the state and Slovenian Railways entered into public-private partnership with the Hungarian investment group Trigranit. Following a dispute and a settlement between Slovenian Railways and Trigranit, the Railways acquired all rights of superficies on the land where the public logistics work is planned, and the company Emonika, owned by Trigranit, received land on which the construction of a business tower and shopping mall is planned. Trigranit then sold the land to the real estate company Mendota Invest, founded by HO-ME 2000, which is owned by the Hungarian OTP Bank.

According to the plans, Slovenian Railways will first start building a bus station, a garage house and a new office building. The total value of investments is expected to amount to about EUR 25 million.

The public part of the project, the railway station and the rearrangement of the tracks at the station is expected to be worth between EUR 65 and 70 million and is expected to be financed by the Slovenian Directorate for Infrastructure (DRSI). OTP or Mendota Invest is expected to invest approximately EUR 250 million in the commercial part. It is expected that the works will be completed by the end of 2023.

The construction of the Ljubljana railway station has been included among the development projects for the period from 2020 to 2023. The project envisages the rearrangement of tracks, platforms, network and signal safety devices. In addition to the main station, the entire area from the Siska railway station to the Zalog railway station is planned to be rearranged, while the Siska, Moste Polje, Ljubljana Zalog and the Ljubljana Polje stations will be upgraded. The entire project is estimated at EUR 546.5 million.
