The streets of Uus-Volta and Mootori in the historic Volta quarter were opened and the completed and soon-to-be completed buildings were presented today. In one of the largest developments in Northern Tallinn, 173 apartments and over 2,200 m² of commercial space will be completed in this and the next year. Two new streets, a large underground car park and an operator-neutral communications network will be built in the quarter.
“The Volta Quarter is one of the largest developments in Northern Tallinn, and its construction is progressing well and on schedule despite a challenging year,” said member of the management board of Endover Robert Laud. “The first building of the new stage at Uus-Volta 9 has just been completed and the first premises have been handed over to the new owners. As we develop Volta, we feel that our responsibility is to create a dignified and sustainable combination of old and new architecture and a symbiosis of buildings and park areas.”
The limestone industrial building, which is 172 metres long and whose history is over 120 years long, has been given a new lease of life as a modern residential and commercial building called Volta Gallery Lofts. The jewel in the crown of the townhouse are the luxury apartments with private courtyards over three floors and the personalised commercial premises. The exclusive homes are characterised by 6.4 metre high ceilings, restored historic arched windows and private courtyards. One of the two original galleries of the factory will be kept completely open and landscaped courtyards will be established inside the former industrial building, and the limestone wall with arched openings in the back of the yards will be preserved to ensure privacy.
