YIT starts the construction of an apartment building in Riga, Latvia

YIT starts the construction of an apartment building in Riga, Latvia. The start-up is the last phase of a residential project named Bikerziedi, and its value is over EUR 10 million. The commissioning is expected to take place in the autumn of 2017. The five-storey apartment building will comprise 90 apartments, with a total living area of around 5,000 square metres.

Customers’ interest towards the previous phases of the Bikerziedi project has been on a high level, in addition to which the recent pick up in Riga’s residential market is estimated to support the demand. The project is located in a peaceful residential area, and most of the apartments are compact two- or three-room apartments. Approximately 1,900 square metres of commercial space will be constructed in connection with the building accommodating a grocery store, among others.
