<h2>A Home Made Just for You</h2>Home is a special place for many, where we spend a great deal of time. That's why it should be well-designed, functional, and feel truly yours. The trend of cozy living (“kotoilu”) in recent years offers a counterbalance to today’s performance-driven lifestyle. One of the biggest benefits of buying a newly built home is that you move into a fresh space created just for you.&nbsp;"Average apartment sizes have decreased over the past years, making smart design more crucial than ever. We build a solid foundation for the apartment, which the buyer then personalizes with materials and décor. Clients increasingly seek homes that stand out—loft apartments with mezzanines, for example, have been in high demand. If you want to make bigger changes to your new home, it's best to let us know early. That increases the chances of making it happen."&nbsp;<h2>&nbsp;Buying a New Home is Safe</h2>YH Kodit doesn’t build the homes itself—we commission reliable contractors to carry out construction. We only work with trusted professionals and appoint an independent supervisor for each site to monitor every phase of construction. Many sites also have specialists for plumbing, electrical, and other specific areas. The goal is to ensure quality, prevent mistakes, and meet deadlines and budgets. Sustainability, quality, and responsibility are the cornerstones of our development process.&nbsp;In new home purchases, buyer protection is strong. Sellers must provide financial guarantees for the buyer, including:<ul><li>Construction-phase security</li><li>Post-construction security</li><li>Performance guarantee</li></ul>The purchase contract follows a template approved by the Finnish Consumer Ombudsman. You also pay in installments as construction progresses—not all at once. Before the final payments, you’ll have the chance to inspect your future home.<h3>&nbsp;Flexible Housing Costs</h3>New homes offer various financing options tailored to your budget. Currently, many housing loans include interest-only periods for a few years after completion. This eases your financial situation—for example, if you want funds for furniture or if your household income temporarily drops (such as during parental leave). Still, buyers should calculate future costs so repayments won’t come as a surprise.Another flexible option is the optional leasehold plot, available in some developments. It lets you buy the land portion separately. You can choose to buy your plot at completion or annually thereafter. For some buyers, owning the plot is crucial; for others, delaying that decision keeps initial costs lower.&nbsp;A new home offers freedom of choice and financial stability. If you're looking for a place that fits your dreams and your budget, come talk to us. We’ll create a home that’s enjoyable to live in, safe to buy, and carefree to own.Explore our range of newly built homes for sale—including projects under construction and ready-to-move-in apartments.

Reducing Energy Use: Moderate Indoor Temperatures and New HVAC Technology YH Kodit places energy efficiency at the core of its operations. Efforts to reduce energy consumption include setting moderate indoor temperatures, upgrading heating and ventilation systems (HVAC), and encouraging residents to use less water. Energy efficiency is a key aspect of responsible living, and these practical actions significantly lower the impact of heating and hot water on overall energy consumption.&nbsp;Low-Emission Energy Sources Supporting Sustainable Solutions Improving efficiency is vital, but reducing consumption alone isn’t enough. That’s why YH Kodit has transitioned to low-emission energy sources in building energy systems. All properties previously heated with natural gas or oil have been converted to renewable geothermal heating. Additionally, electricity used by the properties is sourced from renewable energy.&nbsp;Carbon-Neutral District Heating – In Partnership with Tampereen Energia YH Kodit has partnered with Tampereen Energia to provide low-emission district heating. The collaboration includes the use of Tampereen Energia’s "Lähilämpö Carbon Neutral" heating solution, produced entirely from renewable sources like forestry residues from local forests. This renewable form of heating significantly reduces CO₂ emissions. It can decrease emissions by up to 15,400 kg per 100 MWh—equivalent to the annual carbon footprint of about 1.6 Finns.The first YH Kodit properties using carbon-neutral district heating are located in Tampere on Jankaraitti and Ylämummo. “Our goal is to gradually expand carbon-neutral heating to other properties as well,” says Property Director Tomi Jokio. This ambition reflects the company’s long-term commitment to promoting low-emission housing.&nbsp;Sustainable Living – One Step Closer to the Future YH Kodit’s objectives to reduce energy use and adopt low-emission energy sources clearly point housing in a more sustainable direction. By minimizing the carbon footprint of daily operations and utilizing carbon-neutral heating solutions, YH Kodit’s properties are moving closer to their environmental goals and providing residents with a responsible and eco-friendly living environment.

<h2>Construction Begins on Kruununvouti, the Final Development in YH Kodit’s Kartanonportti Residential Block in Hatanpää</h2>Construction of Kruununvouti—the last new residential building in YH Kodit’s Kartanonportti block in Hatanpää—will begin in April. The building, and with it the entire block and neighborhood, is scheduled to be completed by summer 2026. The Kartanonportti residential block currently includes six housing companies. Once finished, it will feature nearly 400 owner-occupied apartments, the majority of which are one- and two-bedroom units.“We’re thrilled that construction is now starting on the final part of the block. We believe Kruununvouti's apartments will sell well, as all previously completed homes in the area have already been sold. Kartanonportti is a quiet, enclosed block structure, and soon a tram will run nearby, bringing city center amenities even closer. Interest in the Hatanpää area has grown significantly over the last decade, and more people are recognizing its excellent location,” says YH Kodit CEO Janne Tuominen.<h2>&nbsp;Stable Growth Despite Industry Challenges</h2>Despite tough years in the construction sector, YH Kodit has maintained a solid market position. The company sees modest signs of recovery in the housing development market.“We’re now entering more typical conditions in the construction industry, as the ten-year era of zero-interest rates—which distorted the market—has ended. At YH Kodit, we’ve succeeded in anticipating economic shifts and keeping our financial footing stable. We have strong confidence in the Tampere region, as it continues to grow and attract new residents,” Tuominen adds.<h2>&nbsp;OP Tampere Finances the Kruununvouti Project</h2>OP Tampere is financing the construction of Kruununvouti with a total of €11 million. The bank granted funding despite the project’s relatively low reservation rate. Typically, RS projects require a reservation rate of 50%, but factors such as the developer’s financial stability, readiness for market changes, and the project's location and marketability also play a role.“We want to support Tampere’s growth and vitality by promoting new construction. In this case, we were able to be flexible on the reservation rate, as we view YH Kodit’s financial standing as solid and the location and market appeal of the project as strong,” explains OP Tampere’s Director of Business Services, Kari Lepistö.<h2>&nbsp;Meeting Housing Demand in Tampere</h2>Over the past year, YH Kodit has built 101 new apartments in Tampere and a total of 903 units over the past five years. The company owns over 8,200 rental and right-of-occupancy apartments, nearly 5,600 of which are located in the Tampere region. Last year, Tampere’s population grew by about 5,300 residents, indicating continued demand for new housing.
