THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRST JOAORU RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IN NARVA HAS STARTED
On 13 December 2023, Ehitusfirma Rand ja Tuulberg AS started stage 1 construction works of the Raudsilla project commissioned by AS Vallikraavi Kinnisvara, which encompass the erection of the first apartment building and the parking house. There haven’t been any construction projects for new contemporary residential buildings in Narva for over 30 years, so it was quite a historic event for the city. A total of 5 apartment buildings are planned within this project. The buildings have quite a unique and outstanding shape; the architectural design has been prepared by the architectural bureau Molumba and Karli Luik. The first building will be situated on the embankment of Narva’s Joaoru area (address Raudsilla St. 1) with exclusive views to the Hermann Castle, Narva River, and the Ivangorod Fortress. These are exceptional views not only in terms of Narva and Estonia, but also from the European perspective. Narva’s city centre and old town is 1 km away and Narva’s Alexander’s Cathedral, the bus station and railway station, Narva River’s recreational area with its gorgeous nature and the promenade only 200 metres away. Narva has never offered residential spaces with such an exceptional location, views and design.
The first apartment building of Raudsilla 1 will have 6 floors and an additional rooftop floor. The closed net area of the building is 3250.0 m2. The building will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2025.
Stage 1 of the construction of the parking house includes the building of 72 underground parking spaces and 64 above-ground spaces with a total of 136 parking spaces.
A festive ceremony was held on site on 13 December 2023 to celebrate the beginning of the construction works with the Mayor of Narva, Mr Jaan Toots attending. Under the instruction of a specialist, he installed a pile driver with a firm hand, thus commencing the construction works. The event was also picked up by the Estonian Public Broadcasting ERR and featured in the evening news on the Estonian- as well as Russian-language channels.
