SRV and the City of Helsinki’s housing production service have signed an agreement to construct a new residential block in Nihti, part of Kalasatama, Finland.

The residential block will include a mix of 41 Hitas owner-occupied and 84 rental apartments, along with a parking facility and a single commercial unit. 

The development will be situated near the sea. 

SRV Housing Helsinki metropolitan area senior vice-president Jorma Seppä said: “Winning the competition to become the contractor for this project is an example of SRV’s cost-competitiveness in housing construction in a challenging market environment.  

“This project is an excellent continuation of our other projects in Kalasatama, where SRV has been highly involved in development. In addition to our own housing production, we are implementing a variety of other housing projects, such as ARA-funded rental housing for the City of Helsinki.”
