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.

The neighbourhood houses the Albanian and Polish embassies to Montenegro, as well as the national Coca-Cola bottling plant, owned by Coca-Cola HBC.
History
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, including Audi and Volkswagen dealerships owned by Rokšped, Dallas Furniture showroom, Okov retailer and VOLI supermarket.
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.
