YIT completes shell construction of Tampere apartment building in Prague’s Suomi Hloubětín project

YIT has completed the structural phase of the tenth stage of its Suomi Hloubětín residential development in Prague 9. The newly built apartment building, known as Tampere, includes 68 residential units and five ground-floor commercial spaces. Completion of the building is expected by the end of 2025, with residents anticipated to move in during the first half of 2026.

The rough construction includes the building’s load-bearing framework, roofs, and exterior walls. Current work focuses on internal systems such as electrical wiring, plumbing, and sewage infrastructure. Interior finishing, including plastering, is also underway.

Tampere represents the penultimate stage of the Suomi Hloubětín project. The final phase, Rosala, is set to follow. YIT also plans to complete the nearby Lappi Hloubětín development, which will introduce further amenities to the area, including a supermarket.

The Tampere building offers apartments ranging in size from 35 to 104 square meters, with layouts from 1+kk to 4+kk. All units include either a balcony or terrace. The development includes features such as triple-glazed windows, preparation for external blinds, and indoor monitors for door entry. Some apartments are pre-fitted for air conditioning. Parking will be provided in underground garages—equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles—as well as outdoor spaces. Additional facilities include cellars, storage rooms, a pram room, a bike and dog wash station, and a large lobby.

Located at the end of a redesigned central square, the building’s commercial spaces will face the square. The architecture comprises a 13-story high-rise section and a connected four-story wing, with two underground levels beneath the entire structure.

The development prioritizes environmental considerations. Construction uses green concrete containing recycled materials, while efforts are made to minimize and monitor waste. Certified environmentally friendly materials are being used, and energy-efficient LED lighting will be installed in common areas. Planned environmental features include green roofs, habitats for birds and insects, and rainwater management systems designed to reuse nearly all captured rainfall for irrigation.

Situated at the boundary of Vysočany and Hloubětín, the site benefits from strong transport links. A tram stop is located directly next to the complex, and nearby metro stations provide easy access to the rest of Prague. The Prague Ring Road is also easily accessible for drivers. The area includes a variety of services such as shops, medical facilities, schools, and recreational amenities, many of which were developed during earlier phases. The nearby Rokytka River and adjacent park offer green spaces and cycling paths, contributing to the area’s appeal for future residents.
