YIT has started the construction of the self-developed Asunto Oy Vaasan Sommelier apartment building in Klemettila, Vaasa. A total of 36 homes will be built in the five-story residential building. The value of the project is approximately EUR 8 million. The homes are slated for completion in the autumn of 2026.

The apartment building, located near the city center, will have around 1,600 square meters of living space. Vaasa's Sommelier apartments will be 25.5-75.5 square meters in size, and residents can select their new home from a variety of floor plans ranging from one to three rooms. In the Klemettilä block, the shared spaces will also be first class in quality. Residents will have access to a hobby space, a laundry, and a drying room. In addition, the residents of Vaasa's Sommelier will have the right to use the shared use space, sauna department and the bike maintenance room that will be located in the neighboring housing company to be built later.

Vaasa's Sommelier will be built in line with the energy class A requirements. Apartment-specific monitoring of cold and hot water consumption will help save water. During construction, only electricity generated with wind power will be used on the worksite and at least 75% of the waste generated on the worksite will be sorted for recycling. Most of Sommelier's parking spaces will be located in an underground parking garage and have reservations for a charger for electric vehicles. For added comfort, the housing company will be smoke-free, which has also been recorded in its articles of association.

"It is great to be able to launch a new YIT self-developed apartment building project in Vaasa. Vaasa's Sommelier will be located close to excellent transportation connections, right next to the city center and close to the railway station. In addition to good transportation connections, there are comprehensive local services nearby," says Construction Manager Jaakko Ojala  from YIT.

Previously, YIT has implemented five previous properties in the same block; Asunto Oy Keittiömestari, Myllykatu 14, Pikkukokki, Myllykatu 10, and Picnik.
