VOLTA BLOG I Unique commercial premises in Volta Quarter
North-Tallinn is one of the fastest developing districts of the city where thousands of new residents will be moving to in the coming years. With the ever-growing number of residents, the need for various services also increases and the city and the developer have to make sure that new work and commercial premises are built alongside the new homes.
Life is branching out from the city centre
Balti Station market, Telliskivi shopping street, design workshops, museums and eateries, Noblessner Cinema and fancy restaurants, and the cosy cafes, community gardens and workshops of Põhjala factory bear witness to the fact that life is no longer concentrated in the city centre but is branching out over the entire city.
In the last five years, several shops and eateries have opened in North-Tallinn, and in addition to people in the field of art and culture, interest in the district is also high among some IT companies and various start-ups that have either already moved or are planning to move their offices from the city centre or somewhere further away to Kalamaja, Noblessner or Telliskivi.
The advantage of North-Tallinn is its immediate proximity to the city centre, good access by bike or scooter, and fast public transport connections to other districts.
Unique commercial premises
Volta Quarter with its comprehensive living environment emerging in the heart of Kalamaja will be a home and workplace for nearly 3,000 people and various businesses and companies by 2025. The Quarter will have both commercial and living spaces, plenty of leisure opportunities for different age groups, a brand-new park with tall trees, shops, restaurants, kindergarten, and a gym.
Already this summer, unique commercial premises of different sizes will be completed alongside living spaces in the 72 meter long limestone building with arched windows from the beginning of the previous century, the Volta Gallery Lofts building. While electric engines and other machinery were manufactured in the former machinery plant from 1912, the commercial premises with a unique design of the building are today looking for companies and businesses from any field.
The floor-to-ceiling picture windows, extremely high ceilings and a multi-level layout make the building with a history dating back more than a hundred years unique. Business is facilitated by the fact that commercial premises have access directly from the street level. Commercial premises of Volta Gallery Lofts are ideal for both service and commerce, as a stylish showroom or an awesome studio or home office.
The size of commercial premises is 12–1,500 square meters – the range of options is wide, and the possibilities are many.
