Lasihytti is envisioned as a new urban residential area with good public
transport links in the vicinity of the historically important
Espoonjokilaakso river valley and the cultural landscape of Kauklahti.
The accessibility of the area will be further enhanced by the extension
of the Espoo City Rail Link between Leppävaara and Kauklahti, where two
new sets of tracks will be built to allow more frequent train service
and faster train travel between Helsinki and Turku.
The town
planning in Lasihytti will strive to take into account the diverse
cultural history of the Espoonjokilaakso valley and Kauklahti as well as
the ecological values and recreational use of the area, and also seek
to express the historical layering of the environment.
The
amendment of the town plan covering the area is currently pending. The
purchase of the plots will be finalised once the amendment has been
approved, which is estimated to take place within a couple of years, in
2022. Construction can then begin, and the first homes should be ready
for their occupants around 2024.
“Sato wishes to join in the
development of districts together with cities and other actors. There is
growing interest in rental homes in growth centres and much demand for
rental homes with good access to public transport,” says Antti Aarnio, Executive Vice President, Investments at Sato.
“SATO aims to provide the new area with energy-efficient homes ranging in size from studios to family homes,” Antti Aarnio adds.
