AYY board members visiting Jätkäsaari tenement in March 2017.

The new student housing tenement of the Aalto University Student Union (AYY) in Jätkäsaari by the seaside will be completed in September. The Atlantinkatu 7 building will have 122 apartments, most of which are one-room apartments. The building also has a communal sauna and some commercial spaces, to which suitable tenant businesses are still being sought.

”The Atlantinkatu building is the first building project to be fully complete from start to finish during AYY’s existence.  This is only the beginning, however, since the aim is to build over a thousand new apartments in the following ten years”, says housing and real-estate correspondent Board member Onni Lampi of AYY.

The building project started in the spring of 2016 and has progressed according to the set timetable, says AYY construction foreman Hannes Helminen. The building is designed by Sweco Architects Oy and the main contractor at the site is NCC Suomi.

”The importance of student living in the capital region is growing constantly. The apartments are a very concrete and important service to the members of the Student Union. As the Länsimetro completes, the Jätkäsaari building will be only 15 minutes away from the Otaniemi campus”, Lampi concludes.

The application process for the Atlantinkatu apartments opens to AYY members in April 2017. More info on the building and applications will be published at the start of April at www.ayy.fi
