New residential quarter with unique promenade opens near Tallinn

A new residential quarter, Luige Kodud, located near Tallinn, has officially opened its centerpiece: a nearly 300-meter-long promenade. The opening was marked by a lively community event, including a children's run and a concert by popular artist Liis Lemsalu, drawing a large crowd of residents and visitors.

The development's focus on creating extensive public spaces, such as this promenade, challenges the traditional notion of prioritizing every buildable square meter. Janar Muttik, founder and CEO of Everaus Kinnisvara, the developer, explained the strategic decision. "Real estate development values every square meter. That's why people sometimes ask why we build nearly 300 meters of promenade that cannot be sold to anyone. For us, the answer is simple: it is precisely these kinds of places that create the value people seek in their homes. A home does not end at the front door. The life that happens in the outdoor space behind it is just as important," he stated.

Muttik highlighted a shift in buyer preferences in residential developments around Tallinn. While previously the focus was on larger living spaces and private gardens, there is now a greater emphasis on the surrounding environment. "Today, people are increasingly looking at what life is like around the home. Can children move around safely? Are neighbors truly known? Is there a reason to spend time outdoors? The promenade was created with exactly this idea in mind," he added.

The Luige Kodud development will eventually comprise 88 geothermal-heated homes, including terraced houses and apartments. The first two phases are complete, with the third phase scheduled for completion in autumn 2026. The area itself is rapidly developing, offering amenities like a shopping center, sports facilities, forest trails, and Lake Raku, all within a short commute to Tallinn's city center.
