Stari Aerodrom (Montenegrin: Стари аеродром) is a neighbourhood in the city of Podgorica that borders the neighborhoods of Ribnica, Vrela Ribnička, Drač and Tuški put. The neighbourhood is located beside an old military airport, Ćemovsko Polje Airport, hence the name "Stari Aerodrom". It is one of three neighbourhoods that comprise the Konik suburb,[1] as well as one of the few neighbourhoods that have seen a large construction boom.
One of Podgorica's prominent hotels, Hotel Kosta's, along with one of Podgorica's main electronic stores, TechnoLux, are in Stari Aerodrom.

2000s construction boom
As the 2006 independence referendum was looming, Stari Aerodrom became among the newest sites of a construction boom as part of Podgorica's everlasting expansion. Many new residential buildings and commercial spaces were built.
Veljko Vlahović Boulevard
The Veljko Vlahović Boulevard[2] is set to stretch two kilometers, boasting six traffic lanes. In certain stretches, it will span nearly 50 meters in width, marking a significant investment in traffic infrastructure for this micro-locality. Valued at EUR 1.6 million, this project stands as the sole focus in this area. Additionally, in close proximity to this development, the construction of the Home for the Elderly is nearing completion, bringing the total investment in the vicinity to nearly EUR 20 million.
