YIT started residential apartment building projects in Finland, the CEE countries and Russia in January–March

YIT started several apartment building projects in January–March. The company took a cautious approach towards starting projects for consumers due to the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, lots of projects were started for investors.

In Finland, the projects started will comprise more than 590 apartments in total with a total value of over EUR 110 million.

Furthermore, the company announced on April 8, 2020, that it had agreed to build more than 210 apartments for OP funds.

In the CEE countries, the company started the construction of over 160 apartments with a total value of over EUR 23 million.

In Russia, YIT started the construction of four locations, comprising more than 900 apartments with a total value of approximately EUR 48 million.

The projects are located at central locations in growth centres and will mainly be completed in the spring and summer 2021. The start-ups of the apartments are booked in the order backlog of the first quarter of the year.
