additional 300 m2 of commercial space may be built.
The plots must be used to build unregulated owner-occupied or rental housing. No more than half of the permitted building volume may be allocated to rental housing production.
In addition to the land lease, the winner of the call for tenders will be selected based on a one-off advance land lease payment or ‘entry fee’. The city will rent the plots to the bidder who offers the highest entry fee.
The call for tenders will be open from 31 October 2024 to 30 January 2025. For the invitation to tender and its appendices, please visit the website of the landed property development and plots service at https://www.hel.fi/en/urban-environment-and-traffic/plots-and-building-permits/applying-for-a-plot/plot-draws-and-competitions.
