YIT is launching a new Lappi Hloubětín project, which will be built in close proximity to the almost completed Suomi Hloubětín residential complex, thus expanding the emerging Finnish district in Prague. On a plot of approximately 1.2 hectares, the complex will include almost 290 low-energy Finnish-style apartments and 8 commercial spaces in three stages – Ranua, Kemi and Tornio, with the developer planning to put the first housing units on sale this autumn. He then plans to set aside several dozen flats from the entire project for rental housing. YIT has now started construction, the new owners could move in at the turn of 2023 and 2024.
The construction of the Lappi Hloubětín project between Kolbenova, Laponská and Granitova streets will begin with the Kemi and Ranua apartment buildings, followed by Tornio. It is Tornio who will give the whole complex a distinctive face – it will take the form of a thirteen-storey tower. It bears the name of a Lapland city, whose name originated from the Finnish word “torni”, which means tower.
“Our vision for the Suomi and Lappi Hloubětín projects was to cultivate the area of the original brownfield and turn it into a modern, vibrant city district, which will bring a revival to this Prague locality. We are very happy that we are doing well and that hundreds of satisfied families have already found their new housing in Suomi Hloubětín. Lappi Hloubětín will naturally follow him with his urban design and style. Gradually, a completely new Finnish district is born here, which will total approximately 1,200 apartments and become one of the largest residential complexes in Prague,” says YIT Stavo CEO Marek Lokaj, adding:” In addition, we are planning rental housing for people who they do not want or cannot acquire an apartment for personal ownership. We can then provide comprehensive services to tenants and investors, so they don’t have to worry about renting.”
