Hämeentie 122, Toukola

Hämeentie 122 is a Heka property in Toukola built in the late 1950s with three nine-storey buildings.

A major renovation of the site will be completed in autumn 2025. The renovation involves a complete overhaul of the buildings, apartments and courtyard and an upgrade of the building services.

The buildings are located along Hämeentie in the green and atmospheric Toukola, next to the Arabia district with its wide range of services and excellent transport connections around Helsinki.

There are a total of 192 apartments ranging from 34-square-metre studios to 56-square-metre two-bedroom apartments. The renovation will provide bright and functional homes that combine charming 1950s architecture with the comforts of modern housing. In the renovation, all apartments undergo a major overhaul: the surfaces and furniture are renovated, the bathrooms are widened and walk-in closets are added to some apartments. Previously used vinyl floor membranes are removed and replaced with low-maintenance plank floors. Tiles are installed on the bathroom floors and other surfaces. Most of the apartments are equipped with glazed balconies, in addition to which the buildings also have airing balconies.

The buildings are nine storeys high and equipped with lifts, which are also part of the renovation. The buildings have useful common facilities such as a free laundry room, sauna facilities for residents and a club room.

The building was designed by architect Markus Tavio.
