Teade

Tallinn, Estonia, 2016-05-31 07:30 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --


AS Merko Ehitus has started the construction of the first stage of
Tallinn-based Noblessner Home Port development project, which comprises Staapli
4 apartment building and the underground parking garage connecting the entire
complex. By the end of 2017, there will be completed a 225-space underground
garage and six-storey, 66-unit apartment building directly on the seashore with
over 1,000 m² of commercial space at the ground floor. 

The Noblessner Home Port development project (http://noblessner.merko.ee/)
encompasses four apartment buildings with 208 apartments and close to 3,700 m²
of office and retail space. The second stage will consist of three apartment
buildings at Staapli 3, 8 and 12. 

Noblessner Home Port is located just seven metres from the sea. The
architecture was authored by an Estonian architectural design office
Arhitektuuribüroo Pluss, the winner of an international invitational
competition, which has put people´s living environment, logistics and
activities in the focus. Cars will be parked on an underground level, ensuring
space mainly for pedestrians and cyclists. Private and semi-private play and
recreational areas will be created in the interior courtyards, and for
pedestrian access, stairs will be established in the hillside on Kalaranna
street facing the sea. 

The energy class B residential units are characterized by beautiful views, heat
exchange forced air ventilation system and floor heating. The apartments have
glass-enclosed balconies, and some apartments have a sauna and readiness for a
fireplace. Homebuyers can choose from six interior finishing packages,
developed in cooperation with interior architects Eeva Masso and Katrin
Tammsaar. The price per square metre of the apartments ranges from 2,390–4,350
euros. 

The goal of the BLRT Group, which is developing the entire Noblessner port
complex, is an integral and prestigious living, business and leisure time
environment that puts a premium on the historical legacy and the picturesque
seaside location. In the immediate vicinity is the Seaplane Harbour, Kalamaja
Park and the European IT Agency headquarters to be completed by the end of
2017. By the completion of the first apartment building, the shipyard
operations that historically were based here will be wound up. BLRT will
demolish the production facility, build a promenade with a new plaza and
renovate the yacht club and recondition the area around the Valukoda (foundry).
Today, access to the Noblessner quarter is via Tööstuse street, and an
additional access route will be developed directly from Kalaranna street,
including a pedestrian and cycle ramp that will be connected with the existing
pedestrian and bike tunnel and sea promenade. Parking areas will be
established, and later parking garages as well. 

The Noblessner Home Port project is being developed by Kodusadam OÜ, a joint
venture, established in December 2014 by AS Merko Ehitus and BLRT Grupp AS,
both owning 50% of the company.
