The developing residential area of Herttuankulma is a combination of historic Turku and new urban living
The Herttuankulma area of Turku is part of the new maritime Turku Castle City and extends from the harbor to Iso-Heikkilä. The area is being built in stages, with the aim of being completely completed by 2040. The area is planned to house approximately 15,000 people, as well as schools, daycare centers, shops, office space and parks. The entire Castle City covers an area of approximately 270 hectares.
The area is a combination of old historic Turku and new urban living. The area has a great location, as the railway station, shops and all city center services are nearby. Ruissalo Island is only about three kilometers away, and is also easily accessible by bike. Smooth public transport and short distances to services make everyday life carefree. For those interested in culture, there are historical attractions such as Turku Castle.
Other things to consider
The increase in value-added tax from 24% to 25.5% may increase the construction costs and occupancy fees of the property by approximately 1.5%. Any increase in occupancy fees will be invoiced to residents after the property is completed, after Varke has confirmed the new occupancy fees for the property.
