YIT starts the construction of the second apartment building project in Fabriikki, Turku, Finland

YIT starts the construction of an apartment building project in Fabriikki, Turku, Finland. The project is Asunto Oy Turun Fabriikin Focus with approximately 90 apartments and it is the second project in the area. The total value of the project is approximately EUR 15 million and the start-up is recorded in the second quarter. The project will be completed in August 2018.

Focus is located in the new and urban Fabriikki area as part of the new historical Turku, next to the Logomo Centre of Culture. The area has good transportation connections, thanks to the main railway station and bus station located nearby. The size of the Focus apartments varies from single room apartments to three room apartments which all have either glazed or French balcony. There is a new footbridge coming to the area, along which the market square is less than a kilometre away. The Focus apartments became to the pre-marketing stage today.
