Unique complexes combine thoughtful infrastructure, safety, and comfort, creating an atmosphere in which you want to enjoy every moment.

Mini-cities are not just housing. They are a whole world created for those who seek balance between urban convenience and natural harmony. We tell you about all the advantages of this new format. Spoiler: after reading, you'll want to move to this green corner!

What Are Mini-Cities?

Mini-cities are a new format of residential complexes developed by the developer "City21," characterized by variable building height, thoughtful infrastructure, and a comfortable living environment. The main idea of mini-cities is to create a cozy and safe space where everything necessary is within walking distance.

Advantages of Mini-Cities

Variable Building Height: Comfort and Coziness

One of the key advantages of mini-cities is the building height, which creates a sense of space and privacy at the same time. The low-rise buildings preserve more natural views and sunlight. In such residential complexes, courtyards seem cozier, and the density of construction allows you to feel at peace with nature, even in the city.

For example, in the 8 Maples mini-city, buildings are only 4-6 floors high — easy to avoid the feeling of pressure from tall buildings.

Layouts: Freedom for Your Ideas

The new housing format offers layouts that meet modern needs and allow maximizing space usage. High ceilings and spacious rooms provide the opportunity to implement non-standard design solutions: create mezzanines, equip additional storage zones or work corners.

Layouts are designed so that every square meter works for comfort, whether it's a cozy living room with panoramic windows or a kitchen where the whole family can gather. The apartment becomes truly functional and individual, which is especially important for those who value comfort and style.

In "8 Maples" the ceiling height reaches 4.7 meters: any idea can be realized. In "Rafinada" there are also apartments with beautiful views of the river, which add extra coziness.

Apartments with terraces offering views of the park and ponds fill each day spent at home with beauty.

Nature Nearby: A Daily Portion of Beauty

One of the main advantages of mini-cities is their proximity to natural zones. Residents can enjoy walks along alleys and ponds at any time, refreshing their thoughts and filling their energy with nature.

In "8 Maples," a park covering 3.7 hectares is being developed, as well as ponds that ensure excellent conditions for walks and active outdoor recreation.

In the Rafinada mini-city, it's easy to organize rest for the whole family. For example, "City21" has created a "Fun Island" on the embankment. This is a place where children can play on safe playgrounds, and parents can relax on loungers, admiring the calm river. It's important: the Fun Island features various playgrounds suited to specific age groups.

The atmosphere helps restore energy after busy weekdays in a noisy city with its fast pace.

Convenience Within Walking Distance: Comfortable Life Without Hassle

Mini-cities not only offer proximity to nature but also a developed infrastructure that makes life more comfortable. Residential complexes include kindergartens, schools, shops, and cafes, making it easy to handle daily tasks quickly and conveniently. Here, you can enjoy life without spending time on long trips into the city.

In the "8 Maples" project, a kindergarten with 135 places is provided, and schools are located nearby. Parents can rest assured about their child's safety and the quality of education.

Besides, the variety of social facilities fosters an active community where residents can easily find like-minded individuals and actively participate in the life of the district.

Special Programs by the Developer: Coziness Accessible to Everyone

The projects become even more accessible thanks to special programs offered by the developer "City21" to its clients. These include not only family mortgages with low interest rates, helping young families realize their dream of owning a home faster, but also additional opportunities that make purchasing housing even easier and more profitable:


  • Maternal Capital — a great support for families with children, which can be used as part of the initial payment.
  • Trade-in — the opportunity to exchange an old apartment for a new one without extra hassle and long waits.
  • The "Large Family" Program: Multichild families are pride, joy, and happy future of mini-cities! Therefore, they receive special conditions. When purchasing an apartment, a 1% discount is applied for each child for families with two or more children under 18 years of age.
  • The "Double Benefit" Program — for those who want to have everything at once and use all the advantages of the developer, a 1% discount on the apartment and 10% on a parking space or storage room when signing contracts for both the apartment and the parking space/storage room simultaneously!
  • The "Our People" Program — for all like-minded individuals, a 2% discount on each subsequent apartment purchase when signing the contract in the buyer's name or for close relatives.
  • The "Bulk Purchase Cheaper" Program — for those who consider apartments in the mini-city as a long-term income investment, a 3% discount on the second and each subsequent apartment when purchasing two or more apartments at once.

With these programs, buying housing becomes not only convenient but also maximally profitable — you can choose the conditions that best suit your budget and future plans.
