Merko Ehitus Launches NaujiLinkai Residential Project with 301 Apartments in Vilnius
AS Merko Ehitus has launched the NaujiLinkai residential development in Vilnius, Lithuania, through its subsidiary UAB Merko Būstas. The project will comprise 301 apartments across four buildings, connected by an underground parking facility.
Construction has started on the first phase at Pelesos Street 3. This phase includes two apartment buildings with a combined 185 apartments and commercial premises. The buildings and the underground parking complex are scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2028.
Development Within Vilnius Station District
NaujiLinkai is located in the Station District, an area undergoing significant urban transformation around Vilnius railway station. The wider 21-hectare area between Geležinkelio and Pelesos streets is being developed by Vilnius City Municipality and Lithuanian Railways, based on an architectural design by Zaha Hadid Architects.
The broader Vilnius Connect development is intended to bring together business, services, leisure facilities and public green spaces. It also includes improved pedestrian connections towards Vilnius Old Town.
Energy-Efficient Homes and Shared Spaces
The first-phase apartment buildings will meet the A++ energy efficiency classification. Apartment sizes will range from 31 to 94 square metres.
Homes will feature individual air-recuperation ventilation systems, underfloor heating, panoramic wooden-framed windows and spacious balconies or terraces. The underground parking facility will include electric vehicle charging stations, while shared bicycle storage will also be provided.
The residential buildings will surround a landscaped courtyard with green spaces, children's playgrounds and shared recreational areas.
A public park is also planned next to the development, replacing a former industrial site. Its pedestrian pathways will connect the residential quarter with the city's wider walking routes.
Merko Būstas Oversees the Development
UAB Merko Būstas will manage the different stages of the project, including planning, design, construction, sales and warranty services.
This company is a member of AS Merko Ehitus, which is active in the three Baltic countries. According to the latest report from late 2025, the company has about 613 employees and its revenue stood at EUR 311 million.
The NaujiLinkai project brings a new housing development to Vilnius' advancing railway station area, creating residential and commercial premises, green public areas, and enhanced pedestrian connections.
