Borenius advised Eden Living in its investment in a residential development project in Oulunkylä, Helsinki

We advised Eden Living in its investment in a build-to-rent residential development project in Oulunkylä district of Helsinki, Finland. The property, comprising 70 apartments, is centrally located within proximity to the commuter train and comprehensive local services. The Oulunkylä area offers a wide range of transport links and a short commute to Helsinki’s central business district.

Especially convenient for working professionals and students, the property’s high-quality apartments are designed for effortless living. All apartments are equipped with supply air cooling, and residents have access to a shared laundry room and a top-floor sauna. There are also 28 parking spaces on the property, with charging infrastructure readiness for electric vehicles.

The EPC A-rated, energy-efficient building will be EU Taxonomy aligned and heated using geothermal energy. The project promotes sustainable urban development by creating new homes alongside existing infrastructure, services and transport links, thereby avoiding the need for additional land take.

Construction work starts immediately, and the property will be constructed by Fira. The property is expected to be completed in 2027.
