The building is part of a heritage-protected barracks complex that weaves together layers of Estonian, Russian, and German military history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Tondi barracks complex is one of the most iconic military heritage areas in Tallinn. Its Jugendstil buildings, decorated with red brick and limestone, were completed <strong>more than a century ago.<\/strong> The richly ornamented fa\u00e7ades have given the buildings a dignified and recognizable appearance throughout the decades. The S\u00f5jakooli barracks have stood unused for a long time and are now awaiting a new, meaningful role. \u201cThe Tondi campus area has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years \u2013 a former military zone has evolved into a vibrant residential and business hub. We are very pleased to contribute to this development by giving a unique historic building new purpose and life,\u201d said <strong>Maido L\u00fciste, CEO of Scandium Kinnisvara<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><b>An opportunity to own a piece of history<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The reconstruction of the S\u00f5jakooli 1 building, planned for 2026\u20132027, will open the door to a wide range of uses. The building will feature modern office spaces and apartments, enriching the network of living and working environments in the Tondi district.<\/p>\n<p>A dynamic and diverse business environment will take shape within the building. Both smaller and larger companies are welcome \u2013 from creative studios to fast-growing technology firms. What makes the project especially distinctive is the opportunity to purchase a commercial space rather than rent it \u2013 a rare chance to truly own a piece of history.<\/p>\n<p><b>From a 15-minute city to a 1-minute city<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Tondi district is a perfect example of a \u20181-minute city,\u2019 where everything needed for living and working is just steps away,\u201d added Maido L\u00fciste, CEO of Scandium Kinnisvara. Educational institutions, a dense public transport network, caf\u00e9s, shops, and green recreational areas are all nearby. The area is also well known for its diverse sports facilities, including large tennis and padel courts as well as fitness clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Renovation works on the building will begin this autumn, creating a complex that combines historical character with fully modern functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Be the first to hear more about this development!
