Projects

We are developing Keilaniemenranta into a new kind of urban centre, where work, living, and leisure combine in an attractive new seafront environment.

The historic residential building Marmoripalatsi in Kaivopuisto is undergoing refurbishment to its former glory. The restoration is being carried out in close co-operation with the Finnish Heritage Agency.

We purchased the historic Kaartin lasaretti from Senate Properties in the summer of 2020 and plan to redevelop and reinvigorate the block in partnership with the City of Helsinki and other local authorities.

We have received a planning reservation for the Hietalahdenranta area from the City of Helsinki. The aim is to reprofile the area into an attractive corporate base that forms an integral part of Helsinki's city centre.

We acquired this property at the end of 2020 and are currently exploring various options how to develop these premises for use by either private companies or the public sector.

This property was acquired at the end of 2020. It is centrally located in Otaniemi and the current tenants represent several diverse industries.

We have received a planning reservation from the City of Espoo adjacent to Tapiola’s Kulttuuriaukio Square and have plans for a new development that both respects the values and heritage of the area and offers flexible commercial and business premises for future users.

During the summer 2022, a stipulated majority of shares stock was obtained. Our purpose is to renovate Tapiolan Keskustorni to become a modern, flexible and energy efficient building, mainly for office use, whilst respecting its historical dignity.

HGR Property Partners is going to develop a high-class planning area designated for detached and linked housing in Espoo Holken area, a parklike manor house milieu. The area’s architecture and landscape design will create a premium living area whilst respecting the nation-wide significance and values of cultural environment of Espoo manor.

Two glass pavilions form the centre-point of Keilaniementori square offering a wide range of services for residents, workers, and visitors alike. There is a barbershop, a café, and several restaurants, which are open also outside the office hours, whatever the day of the week. The pavilions form the most central meeting place in Keilaniemi, just in front of the metro entrance.

The iconic Raaden Hammas was redesigned to meet the needs of modern business life and is now known as the Accountor Tower. At the same time, the first service development in Keilaniemi was created - complete with fitness centre, grocery store, coworking facilities and the popular scenic restaurant Lucy in the Sky. The property was sold in spring 2020 to a German fund managed by DWS.

This building was renovated into school and office space for the use of Otaniemi High School and the City of Espoo. The interiors of the red-brick building were renovated to be reconfigurable, making them suitable for a wide range of uses; as spaces for quiet work, meetings, or an arena for displays and performances. The project was completed in stages during 2018–2019. The property was sold in December 2018 to the eQ Hoivakiinteistöt special investment fund.

This architecturally striking new building was completed at Kasarminkatu 21 as business premises for Roschier, Danske Bank and Taaleri, among others. The project was inspired by law firm Roschier’s search for a new headquarters space in the city centre that could be tailored to their needs. The ideal space was found on the edge of Kasarmintori on the site of a former public works facility, that was demolished and replaced by a new building - increasing the appeal of the whole Kasarmintori area. The property was sold to an international real estate investor at the end of 2018.
