Different types of Hitas projects
The city monitors Hitas companies by purchasing shares entitling them to control one apartment in each major new builduing. There are four types of Hitas projects:
Hitas I
All major new buildings are Hitas I projects. The city becomes a shareholder of the housing company by purchasing the shares entitling it to control one apartment.
Hitas II
Hitas II projects are fairly small companies that usually have fewer than 20 apartments. The city does not become a shareholder in Hitas II projects.
Semi-Hitas
The plots are given in areas where there is no significant difference between the building costs of housing and the local market price level. The production method, the first debt-free sale price and the sale of the homes are regulated, but resale prices are not. The city does not become a shareholder in semi-Hitas projects.
Group construction projects
Group construction projects differ from the traditional construction model, for example, in the ownership of housing. The guidelines for group builders describe the measures after the decision approving the purchase value. The guidelines also include the Hitas attachment, which all signatories to the group construction commitment must fill in and sign.
