SRV Group president and CEO Saku Sipola said: “Kompassi is a good example of project, where we have strong customers and which do not significantly tie up SRV’s capital.

“When implemented as planned Kompassi will release approximately EUR 22 million from the company’s balance sheet during year 2020. I am delighted to see that with our recovery programme our customers trust us and we have been able to start several new projects this year.”

SRV Housing senior vice president Kim Jolkkonen said: “With our long-term cooperation with Kojamo, we respond to housing demand in growth centres. Kompassi, which construction now begins, will have excellent location in the vicinity of good transport connections.”
