On Friday, 28 November, we entered into a design-build contract with Mainor Ülemiste AS for the construction of a new office building at Ülemiste City. We will start erecting a structure with unique architecture named after the renowned botanist and ecologist Viktor Masing.
According to chairman of the Mainor Ülemiste board Sten Pärnits, Ülemiste City is an environment oriented at innovation and cooperation, offering tenants the chance to grow rapidly, find good partners in cooperation and be conveniently connected with international partners. “The Viktor Masing House is planned to support the company’s growth, it has office space that provides flexible interior solutions. Natural, ecologically responsible design and smart building solutions create a supportive, contemporary work environment,” said Pärnits.
The Viktor Masing office building is at Lõõtsa 1 B/C in Ülemiste City. It consists of two towers connected all the way up to the ninth floor. It has 27,300 square metres of gross space and as much as 20,000 square metres of office space. The ground floor will also boast a golf simulator intended for the use of tenants and lushly landscaped spacious common areas. The building was inspired by the colours and textures of Estonian peat bogs.
“We’re very glad to be the construction partner for the new building in Ülemiste City. The preparations for the design and engineering are already under way in order to stay on what will be a challenging schedule. The rapidly developing Ülemiste area is becoming a business campus of key importance for Tallinn, embodying the same values that are appreciated in Merko – high quality in their work and workplace and a successful search for the finest solutions,” said chairman of the Merko Ehitus Eesti board Jaan Mäe.
Construction itself on the Masing building will get started in March 2026 and is planned for completion in November 2027. The office building meets the highest environmental standards: it is class A in energy, has district heating and cooling, and 150 kW solar panel system. The building will vie for a LEED Gold certificate indicating that it is an energy efficient building.
