YIT to build 52 new homes in Hermanni – Taikalyhty offers bright and functional living in Helsinki
YIT Corporation Press Release August 5, 2025, at 8:00 a.m.
YIT is starting the construction of a self-developed apartment building project called Asunto Oy Keravan Tähkiö in the center of Kerava. The seven-storey residential building will have 35 homes. The value of the project is just under EUR 10 million. Construction will begin in August and the building is scheduled for completion during summer 2026.
The apartment building’s location is the best in Kerava. It has approximately 2,100 square meters of living space. Keravan Tähkiö's apartments will range from 28 to 101.5 square meters in size, and residents may choose their new home from a variety of floor plans, ranging from studios to four-room apartments.
The building will be built to meet the A energy class requirements. Its heating and summer cooling will be carried out with geothermal heat, and solar panels will be installed on the roof to generate some of the electricity used in the building. Apartment-specific monitoring of cold and hot water consumption will help save water. A carbon footprint calculation has been made for the project and, during the design phase, it enabled the choice of materials and solutions that put less burden on the environment. During construction, only renewable electricity will be used on the construction site and at least 75% of the waste generated on the site will be sorted for recycling.
Keravan Tähkiö residents will have 21 parking spaces in the block’s shared parking building. All parking spaces in the car park are equipped for electric vehicle charging points. Before the completion of the block’s car park building, YIT will arrange temporary parking for residents in the neighboring plot.
“It’s great that we’re able to launch a new YIT self-developed project in Kerava. There’s demand for new high-quality homes in Kerava, and Tähkiö’s pre-marketing quickly attracted a lot of interest. So we are able to launch the construction project quickly. Keravan Tähkiö is located in the heart of Kerava, within walking distance of everything, and recreational facilities, cafes, schools and health services will be right on the doorstep,” says Mikko Lempinen, VP, Housing, Uusimaa and Häme, from YIT.
