The total value of the project is over EUR 100 million and it will be constructed in several phases. The project’s first phase that starts now will consist of approximately 150 apartments and will be completed in 2017. The value of the first phase is over EUR 15 million.

The project will be constructed in one of the fastest developing parts of the city. The good public transport connections, green area and the vicinity of versatile services make the location an attractive living area. YIT announced the area’s plot acquisition in spring 2015.
