Bulevardi 31

In November 2023, 77 distinctive Lumo homes were completed on Helsinki's historic Bulevardi, following the transformation of the former Helsinki University of Technology chemistry buildings into high-quality residential properties. The development comprises two architecturally contrasting buildings: the four-storey Old Chemistry Building and the five-storey New Chemistry Building. Their conversion was carefully designed to preserve the cultural heritage and individual character of both properties.

The red-brick Old Chemistry Building was completed in 1899 and designed by architect Onni Tarjanne, also known for the Finnish National Theatre. The New Chemistry Building, completed in 1949, was designed by Johan Sigfrid Sirén, the architect behind Finland's Parliament House. Their different architectural periods are reflected in the apartment interiors. The Old Chemistry Building features darker tones and rich wood finishes, while the New Chemistry Building embraces a lighter, timeless aesthetic. Every apartment has high-quality oak parquet flooring, and some feature impressive ceiling heights exceeding four metres. The selection also includes beautiful attic apartments with private terraces and homes with balconies.

Residents can enjoy an elegant communal sauna area and a shared lounge suitable for remote working, social gatherings and relaxing outside their own apartments. The basement houses laundry and drying facilities, bicycle storage, outdoor equipment storage and individual storage units. A small courtyard provides space for outdoor relaxation and children's activities. Parking spaces can be rented from the Hietalahden Pysäköinti Oy car park, with residential street parking also available through the local permit scheme. A 100 Mbps broadband connection is included in the rent, and pets are welcome.

Situated between Bulevardi and Lönnrotinkatu, beside Hietalahti Market Square, the property is surrounded by some of Helsinki's most appealing urban attractions. The restaurants, cafés, boutiques and shopping destinations of Punavuori and Kamppi are all within walking distance. The leafy Sinebrychoff Park is directly across the street, while the waterfront scenery of Hietalahti is just moments away.
