New apartments in Helsinki’s Pasila district and Espoo’s Olari district
Lumo Kodit Oy and SRV have signed an agreement on the construction of 129 rental apartments in Helsinki’s Pasila district. Asunto Oy Helsingin Höyrypilli and Asunto Oy Helsingin Vihellys will be located next to the comprehensive services of Mall of Tripla and the renovated Pasila train station. The project concerns the construction of nine-storey and six-storey residential buildings. The 129 new Lumo apartments will include singles, two-room apartments and three-room apartments.
The project is part of the EUR 197 million cooperation agreement announced in 2020 regarding the construction of rental apartments for Lumo Kodit Oy.
