Prestigious properties on Bulevardi get a new life as Lumo homes
Bulevardi 31
Kamppi, 00180 HelsinkiAvailable for renting 3.7.2023Estimated time of completion 1.11.2023
New Lumo homes will be completed on the iconic Bulevardi in the heart of Helsinki in November 2023, when the historic properties of the old chemistry department will get a new life as residential buildings. The property consists of two old buildings, New and Old kemia i.e. the Helsinki University of Technology’s old chemistry department. A total of 77 high-quality apartments will be completed in the four-story Old kemia and the five-story New kemia.
The red-bricked Old kemia was completed in 1899 as the chemistry laboratory building of the University of Technology. The house was designed by the architect Onni Tarjanne, who is also known as the designer of the Finnish National Theatre. New kemia was built in 1949 to replace the oldest laboratory building of the University of Technology, which was destroyed in the war. It represents a more simple modernist style. The architect was Johan Sigfrid Sirén, who also designed the parliament building in Helsinki. Most recently, Old and New kemia served as the teaching and study facilities of Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.
These houses are hiding unique city homes inside. Some of the apartments have a high ceilings of over four meters, and the houses also have wonderful attic apartments with their own terraces. Some of the apartments also have a balcony. In the renovation process of the buildings and the decoration of the homes, efforts have been made to preserve the cultural-historical value and atmosphere of the houses. The carefully selected materials and fixtures are of high quality and timelessly stylish. For example, all apartments will have beautiful, long-lasting oak parquet floors.
The originality of the New and Old kemia buildings, which differ in style and history, is cherished in the interior design: Darker tones and atmospheric dark wood have been chosen for the apartments in the red-bricked Old kemia. The look of the more modern New kemia is complimented with classic light tones and light wood.
A common laundry room and drying room as well as storage for outdoor equipment, bicycles, and other items will be in the basement of the houses. Residents also have access to sauna facilities made with the high quality materials as well as a shared common room that functions almost as an extension to a living room, for example for hosting parties. The cozy little yard is perfect for lounging or for children to play. Residents of the building can rent a parking space from the parking garage of Hietalahden Pysäköinti Oy, or alternatively, parking is possible with a resident parking permit.
These homes are located in a prime location in the heart of Helsinki between Bulevardi and Lönnrotinkatu, right next to Hietalahdentori. The versatile services and shopping opportunities of Punavuori and Kamppi are close by. On the other side of the road is the popular Sinebrychoff park, and the sea is right next door as well.
The rent includes a fast 100 Mbit/s broadband, which enables, for example, convenient remote working from home. Pets of all kinds are also always welcome in Lumo homes!

Comfortable rental homes in Helsinki
Helsinki is a beautiful and lively residential city. Modern Helsinki, the capital of Finland, plays a key role in Finland's business and economy, which is why there are many jobs in Helsinki. Helsinki is an international, open and secure European capital with a good location on the Baltic Sea.
Helsinki has been awarded the World Design Capital Award in 2012 and UNESCO's City of Design in 2014. Around the world, Helsinki is known for its innovation, high-tech achievements, seaworthiness, architecture, cleanliness and security. The Cathedral, the Market Square and Suomenlinna are some of the city's most famous sights.
Sea and nature
In Helsinki, the sea is everywhere, and the outdoor islands are open to every citizen. The islands are easily accessible by ferries and the sea beaches are at the guests' disposal. Nature is also close to downtown, and the 1000-hectare green park stretches from Töölönlahti to northern Helsinki. Each residential area in Helsinki has its own outdoor areas, so the natural ambience of the city is maintained throughout the summer and winter.
Good public transport and excellent services
Helsinki is a good place to live as the city offers its residents well-functioning public transport and good services that are easily accessible from all over Helsinki. For example, children's day care, schools and health centres are close to everyone.
Even if your own home is located further from the centre of Helsinki, the train, bus, metro or tram can be reached quickly. Urban planning has also invested in light traffic routes, so many Helsinki residents make their commute by bike.
Lumo rental apartment in Helsinki
Helsinki will find a suitable home for everyone. Apartment living is a Helsinki-style way of living, but it is also possible to live in suburban houses in the suburbs. If you want to live right in the centre of Helsinki, you will often have fewer living quarters than the more remote ones. Helsinki rentals are located around the city, and Lumo rentals are available to single, couples and families.
Helsinki has many new development areas, but there is also more construction in existing residential areas. Your Lumo rental home in Helsinki can be located in an old 50's traditional stone house, a modern new apartment building or anywhere in between.
Downtown Lumo Rentals
There are several Lumo rental apartments in the centre of Helsinki. For example, Punavuori, Töölö and Kallio are the most traditional residential areas in Helsinki. Each of them has its own atmosphere that is unique to the place. Kamppi is a service and transport hub located at the heart of central Helsinki.
Pasila is located a few minutes by train from the city centre, and is also a popular residential area for those who want to be near the city centre.
Coastal rental accommodation in Helsinki
Helsinki has many beautiful residential areas in the immediate vicinity of the sea. Kalasatama, Jätkäsaari and Hernesaari are one of the newest housing projects in Helsinki, where there are already several comfortable Lumo rental apartments. In addition to its maritime location, Kalasatama's, Jätkäsaari's and Hernesaari's trump cards are in the immediate vicinity of Helsinki city centre. Sompasaari is another developing residential area right by the sea and near the centre.
Right next to the Helsinki market place is Katajanokka, another charming area surrounded by water. The traditional Lauttasaari Island just south of Helsinki is also a popular residential area, and the nearby Lehtisaari is also a beautiful green place to live near water. You also get to enjoy the sea in Munkkiniemi.
Cozy rental accommodation by the metro line in eastern Helsinki
Vuosaari, the largest residential area in Helsinki, as well as Rastila, Kontula, Itäkeskus, Herttoniemi, Myllypuro and Mellunkylä are located along the metro line in eastern Helsinki. Vuosaari is home to perhaps the most beautiful and sandy and large Aurinkolahti beach in Helsinki, which has the atmosphere of southern Europe.
Other residential areas in eastern Helsinki are for example Roihuvuori, Vartiokylä, Vesala and Kurkimäki. All of these properties in Eastern Helsinki offer Lumo rentals of various sizes in a comfortable environment with good transport links and services.
Green suburbs in central and northern Helsinki
Central and northern Helsinki are attracted by their beautiful parks and good outdoor areas. In addition to the Central Park, the outdoor areas of Pirkkola, Paloheinä and Tali, among other things, provide a wonderful setting for leisure activities for their residents. In central Helsinki, for example, Etelä-Haaga, Pohjois-Haaga, Kannelmäki, Konala and Oulunkylä offer many comfortable Lumo rental homes. There are studios and family flats available.
Popular residential areas in northern Helsinki include Malmi, Tapanila, Tapaninkylä, Tapulikaupunki and Suutarila. The Lumo rental homes along the train track in these areas are popular: not only are the surroundings comfortable, but the transportation to the south as well as to the north is so good.
