Tallinn, Estonia, 2017-02-09 15:30 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --


AS Merko Ehitus has launched the second stage of Tallinn-based Noblessner Home
Port development project and started with the sales of Staapli 3 apartments.
The 6-storey building with 105 apartments and interior courtyard will be
completed by the end of 2018. Staapli 4 apartment building and underground
garage, connecting the whole complex, are currently in active construction and
will be completed by the end of 2017. 

The size of Staapli 3 1–5-storey apartments range from 26–140 square metres and
they offer nice views to the sea, interior courtyard and inner streets. The
energy class B residential units have heat exchange forced air ventilation
system and floor heating, glass-enclosed balconies, and some apartments 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 in
Staapli 4 building ranges from 2,390–4,350 euros and in Staapli 3 building from
1,711–3,553 euros. Almost half of the apartments at Staapli 4 have been sold.
People, who had registered their interest in Staapli 3 apartments, have
received personal pre-information and they have booked quarter of the
apartments at Staapli 3 building. 

The Noblessner Home Port development project (noblessner.merko.ee) encompasses
four apartment buildings with 200 apartments and close to 3,700 m² of office
and retail space. In addition to the Staapli 3 and 4 buildings in the future
will be constructed also houses at Staapli 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 in the summer of 2017. 

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).
There is a plan to open the first Virtual Reality Experience Centre in Northern
Europe in the Valukoda by 2019. 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 ja BLRT Grupp AS, both
owning 50% of the company.
