Concern "Lemminkäinen Rus" began its labor activity in the 70s of the last century, successfully developing the territories of the then Soviet Union. In those days, the developer was mainly engaged in the construction of road surfaces, as well as the construction of social infrastructure facilities. Since 2005, the developer has been operating in the housing construction segment.

Each potential buyer is strongly recommended to inquire about the reputation of the developer before signing the contract. After all, to purchase real estate in order to avoid numerous problems, it is possible only from a reliable and respected developer.

Such a long work experience cannot, of course, be discounted. And the notorious Finnish quality also commands respect.

A few words about the complex

As already mentioned, the construction site of the residential complex "Tapiola" is St. Petersburg, Admir alteysky district. The exclusive location, excellent reputation of the developer, the comfort of the apartments and the variety of choices make this offer very attractive to potential customers. The project is fully completed, in November 2015 the residential complex "Tapiola 2" was commissioned and put into operation. Work began in 2012. It was supposed to build in two phases. The first, which included six buildings, as well as a kindergarten and underground parking, was commissioned at the end of 2014. Almost all apartments in these six sections are sold out. Today, real estate is offered only in the second part of the residential complex "Tapiola". Stage 2 was commissioned in 2015. There are currently 418 unsold apartments.

The area is prestigious, considered the historical center of St. Petersburg. Not far from the complex - just one kilometer away - is the Yusupov Garden and the Olympia Garden. St. Isaac's Cathedral is three kilometers away, Kazansky Cathedral is four kilometers away,embankment of the Neva, Palace Square and the Admir alty, as well as the Hermitage.

St. Petersburg, as you know, is a large city, the second capital of Russia, so special attention is paid to its social development.

So all the reviews of the residents about Tapiola Residential Complex emphasize thatthat the transport infrastructure of the area is on top.

Ecology

What is the ecological situation in the area where the residential complex "Tapiola" is located? Feedback on this issue is sometimes confusing to potential buyers. The fact is that under the Soviet Union, this part of Leningrad was considered almost an industrial zone, since there were quite a lot of enterprises of this kind located here. However, many of them ceased their activities after the collapse of the Union, some are now bankrupt, and therefore also do not function. So, by and large, at the moment there are not so many of them. Well, those that remained no longer cause such significant damage to the ecology of the region. In addition, many green areas located next to the complex compensate for the damage they cause. So we can say with confidence that "Tapiola" is a residential complex, which is located in an area whose ecological condition is quite acceptable.

Apartments

As we have already said, "Tapiola" is a residential complex in which apartments of the "comfort +" class are put up for sale. And the choice is literally amazing in its diversity. The range of apartments is so huge that it will not be difficult to choose the perfect option for yourself. And from the abundance of planning decisions, literally, eyes run wide. Buyers are offered both a small studio apartment and a five-room two-level apartment in the Tapiola complex (LC). The height of the ceilings in the latter reaches three meters, which is very appealing to many. The area of apartments also varies markedly andranges from 23 to 189 square meters. Regardless of size, every living space has a walk-in closet, which is also welcomed by anyone considering buying property in the development we describe. Also, all apartments are distinguished by large kitchens and bathrooms and are equipped with glazed balconies, loggias, spacious enough to not only admire the landscapes of St. Petersburg from them, but even put small-sized furniture for relaxation.

Finish

Since Tapiola is a residential complex built by a Finnish developer, the options for finishing apartments in it are noticeably different from Russian ones. There are three of them. This is the original white finish. That is, all plastering work has been carried out, the walls and ceiling are even and white. All that remains for the owner is to make decorative repairs. This option is perfect for people who want to create an interior design on their own, in accordance with their individual taste.

Full finishing implies the presence in the apartments of already painted walls and ceilings, laminate flooring, tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms. In the latter, by the way, the appropriate furniture has already been installed. There are interior doors, in addition, subject to additional payment, the Smart Home system can be installed. If the buyer has a desire, the developer can complete the finishing on an individual project. Professional designer services are also available.

In addition, you can order a Finnish finish. What is its difference? In the fact that when interior design is usedonly wood and glass. Such apartments, by the way, decorated in the best Finnish traditions, are becoming more and more popular today.

Cost

Naturally, prices for "comfort +" class apartments cannot be low a priori. Nevertheless, you can buy a studio apartment in the Tapiola residential complex for five million rubles. As for the two and three-room apartments, it is no longer possible to provide any information here, since all the premises have been sold. Only large apartments remained, consisting of four and five rooms. All of them are located in the LCD "Tapiola 2". As for the cost, it varies depending on the type of finish chosen and ranges from 18 to 19 million rubles for four-room apartments, and from 22 to 25 million for five-room apartments.

Inland

It is worth noting that the developer paid due attention to this issue. It is assumed that the house will be located in a fully fenced area, and even around the clock guarded. Everywhere - around the perimeter and at the entrances - CCTV cameras are installed. Landscaping work is underway, playgrounds have been equipped, and small architectural forms have also been installed. There are well-maintained paths for walking, there is also a car parking for guests. There are also specially equipped places for outdoor sports.

Reviews

What do residents who have already moved into elite apartments say about the Tapiola residential complex? As a rule, there are quite a few negative reviews. And they relate morehigh cost. But after all, by and large, what, in fact, do you want? The center of St. Petersburg, a house built by a Finnish company, imported high-quality materials used for decoration … You have to pay for all this.

So there is nothing surprising in the fact that the cost of residential premises in Tapiola is somewhat different from that in houses from Russian developers. However, the developer is doing everything possible to make apartments more affordable. Promotions are constantly held, thanks to which you can often get significant discounts. According to buyers, some managed to buy apartments for 10-15% cheaper. When converted into millions, you will agree, a very significant savings are obtained.

Many people really like the fact that in the bathroomsspecial ACO panels were installed, thanks to which it is possible to carry out additional communications without the chasing process, which is accompanied by noise and dirt, and also requires subsequent finishing work.

In general, by and large, everyone is happy with everything. Of course, the ecology of the region raises some doubts, but, frankly, what can you expect from it if you live in such a metropolis as St. Petersburg. It is unlikely that you can find places with the same ecological conditions as in a provincial small town.
