YIT is starting the construction of a self-developed apartment building project called Asunto Oy Kuopio Maaherra in the center of Kuopio. The five-storey residential building will house 51 homes, two commercial premises, and a parking facility with 30 spaces. The value of the project is approximately EUR 15 million. The construction works were started in April, and the project is due to be finished by the end of 2025.

The apartment building, which will be built on its own plot in the best location in the city center, will house residential spaces of about 2,700 square meters and business premises with a total area of about 160 square meters. Kuopion Maaherra's apartments will range from 26 to 116 square meters in size, and residents may choose their new home from a variety of floor plans, ranging from studios to four-room apartments. In Maaherra, the shared spaces are also first class. Residents will have access to an atmospheric sauna with a terrace for cooling down, a club room for activities such as remote work, and a shared car.

The house will be built in line with the A energy class requirements, and solar panels will be mounted on the roof to generate some of the energy required by the property. Apartment-specific monitoring of cold and hot water consumption helps save water. A carbon footprint calculation has been made for the project, helping in the choice of materials that burden the environment less during the construction phase. During construction, only renewable electricity will be used on the construction site and at least 75% of the waste generated on the site will be sorted for recycling. Some of the parking spaces are ready for an electric car charging point. For added comfort, the housing company will be smoke-free, which has also been recorded in its articles of association.

"It is great that we are able to launch a new YIT self-developed project in Kuopio. Kuopion Maaherra will be located right in the heart of Kuopio, within walking distance of everything, and recreational facilities, cafes, cultural events, schools, and health services will be right on the doorstep. There is no better location than this in Kuopio," says YIT's Regional Director Marjaana Nissilä-Ryytty.

Previously, YIT has completed the Asunto Oy Kuopion Hovineito and Asunto Oy Kuopion Ruuturouva projects in the same central area.
