By GlobalDataThe apartments offer underfloor heating and cooling linked to the district heating network, along with the infrastructure for air-source heat pumps.
Ceiling radiator panels will be available at selected homes. Water conservation is encouraged through apartment-specific monitoring of cold and hot water usage.
Sustainability measures extend to the construction process, where only renewable electricity will be used, and at least 75% of the site’s construction waste will be sorted for recycling.
YIT senior vice-president Harri Isoviita said: “It’s great to be able to launch YIT’s self-developed project in the Helsinki metropolitan area, with great transport connections.”
The Seaside building will be situated among Keilaniemi’s modern office buildings.
Keilaniemi boasts transport links, including a metro station and the Jokeri Light Rail terminus.
Earlier this month, YIT began the first phase of a major housing project in Kladno, the Czech Republic, in collaboration with local housing cooperative BD Portti Kladno.
