YIT has started the construction of a self-developed apartment building called Asunto Oy Tampereen Ohjaaja in the new residential area of Tohlopinranta. Construction work kicked off in November 2024 and the new homes will be completed in December 2025. The value of the contract is approximately EUR 11 million, and it will be recorded in the order book for the fourth quarter of 2024.

The six-storey apartment building on the shore of Lake Tohloppi will house a total of 38 apartments, ranging from 23 m2 to 100.5 m2 in size. The scope of the construction project is approximately 2,900 gross square meters. All the apartments will be equipped with a balcony. The apartments will be heated with water-circulating ceiling heating panels, which can also be used for cooling in the summer. This allows for good views from the large windows as radiators do not take up wall space.

Asunto Oy Tampereen Ohjaaja is an environmentally friendly building, where environmental matters are considered in all choices throughout the design and construction stages. The eco-friendly building also makes it easy for the residents to make green choices in their day-to-day lives. The housing company built in line with the A energy class requirements will be heated with district heating, in addition to which the building will be equipped with solar panels. Parking spaces will be available in the block's shared Kiinteistö Oy Tohlopinranta Pysäköinti parking facility, and they will have a reservation for electric vehicle chargers. During construction, only renewable electricity will be used on the construction site. Construction waste generated onsite will be sorted and the amount of mixed waste will be minimised.

The new homes will be located close to nature on the shore of a lake, offering great opportunities for a variety of summer and winter activities. The accessible nature trail travelling around the lake allows residents to enjoy the diverse nature of Lake Tohloppi and Epilänharju and the two beaches located on the lakeshore. By the time Ohjaaja will be completed, the district will offer even more pleasant surroundings as the traffic currently using the street will be moved further away from the lake next to the train track, and the City of Tampere will convert the street to a green park area.

"I am very pleased that we will be able to start the construction of our second self-developed apartment building in Tampere within a month, after a hiatus of more than two years. The high-quality, sustainable YIT Homes built in line with the A energy class requirements will be situated amid stunning lake landscapes, close to nature, enabling a wide range of leisure activities right on your doorstep. In Tohlopinranta, the lake and its surroundings will be part of the residents' day-to-day lives," says Sami Viitanen, YIT's Regional Director for Housing and Business Premises in Pirkanmaa.
