A worthy addition to Tartu's cityscape
The development on the bank of the Emajõgi River, on the plot at Väike-Turu 7, is set to comprise 5 buildings with retail, service, catering, office, conference or accommodation premises. The architectural design of the buildings is the work of one of Estonia’s most prestigious architectural firms, Salto AB OÜ. Developer Kaarsilla Kinnisvara OÜ’s partners in the design process include Projekt O2 OÜ, Salto AB OÜ and the architects of Roolaht ja Partnerid OÜ. The planned buildings will be articulated. The articulation of building blocks creates recesses in the street profile. This makes it possible to create sunny, wind-free gardens or terraces for cafés that act as extensions of the public street.
Healthy work environment, healthy employees
The Port Athena neighbourhood is a first-class working environment, designed to make your time at work as enjoyable and high-quality as possible. Port Athena’s commercial premises are designed to the highest standards. Office premises are designed to meet the specific needs of each business, offering flexible solutions to help create a healthier and more productive working environment for your team.
Most beautiful views in the city
The Port Athena neighbourhood is located in the immediate vicinity of the Emajõgi River, with spectacular views of the river and the city. The office floors have large windows with French balconies, creating unique workspaces for employees with some of the most breathtaking views in the city.
Pleasant indoor climate
The comfortable indoor climate is ensured by efficient district heating based on renewable energy and district cooling that draws coolness from the Emajõgi River.
Carefully considered parking solutions
Parking is provided in the form of underground parking in line with the size of the buildings. We have also factored in non-motorised means of transport when planning parking to give employees the option to come to work using Tartu’s pedestrian and cycling tracks.
Diverse work and rest areas
In addition to the usual office work, the recreational area between the buildings, the rooftop terraces on the 4th floor and the new riverfront along the Emajõgi River will offer pleasant opportunities for relaxing breaks in fresh air.
More light, more room for ideas
Large windows welcome daylight, creating a healthier, more enjoyable and more productive working environment, which in turn helps to boost employee satisfaction and performance.
More fresh air
Our buildings have excellent ventilation. While fresh air and a stable temperature are maintained at all times thanks to a modern ventilation system, all the windows can be opened to let in crisp outside air, birdsong in spring or the hum of the city
Unbeatable location
The Port Athena neighbourhood is located in the heart of Tartu, between the Tigutorn tower, Science Centre AHHAA and the Aura Centre, with a pedestrian street to the west and a developing waterfront to the east. In the immediate vicinity of the plot are the future developments of the Sadama and Katlamaja neighbourhoods.
Spellbound by Tartu
The large volumes of the buildings have been broken down into smaller spaces, creating a varied streetscape and opening up the buildings for a better view of the river. Green terraces and large windows provide the best conditions to enjoy the view.
More convenient, sustainable and healthy
The Old Town, shopping centres, grocery stores, cafés and restaurants, the swimming pool, spas, sports clubs and theatre are just a few minutes away – everything you need is within walking or short cycling distance.
Convenient access
Location in the centre of Tartu ensures convenient access to all major transport hubs. There is good public transport access and safe cycling tracks. Pedestrian and cycling tracks are planned from Väike-Turu and Kaluri streets, while car access is planned from Väike-Turu street. In order to ensure smoother traffic, there are plans to widen the Väike-Turu street and create an area for making left turns. The city bus stops and the bus station for county lines are just a few hundred metres away.
