BUILDING
This is a historic and architecturally valuable office building located in Tallinn Old Town, within a protected heritage conservation area. The building dates back to the early 20th century (first commissioned in 1910) and forms part of the unique and culturally significant urban environment of the Old Town.
The building features mixed construction methods, incorporating natural stone, wood, and reinforced concrete panels added during later renovations. The roof is covered with sheet metal. Several original architectural details and structural elements have been preserved, giving the building a distinctive and representative character.
The property consists of three floors, two of which are above ground. The total area is 570.3 m², and its primary use is as an office building.
In terms of technical systems, the building is equipped with electricity supply and multiple heating solutions, including direct electric heating, a boiler, and district heating (depending on the specific premises). The property is located in a well-developed infrastructure area and is suitable for representative business use.
COMMERCIAL SPACES
The building is distributed across three floors, with the 2nd and 3rd floors above ground:
Ground floor (183.5 m²) – street-level, suitable for customer-facing business – fully leased
2nd floor (219.9 m²) – office or service spaces – fully leased
3rd floor (140 m²) – office, studio, or service space – fully leased
2nd floor: large open-plan workspace, 3 glass meeting rooms, 2 private offices, kitchen, and 2 WC facilities.
3rd floor: accessible via two separate staircases, featuring one large open space and one separate room. Also includes multiple storage/archive rooms, WC, and a kitchenette.

INTERIOR FINISH
This heritage-listed building from the 20th century is an important part of Tallinn Old Town’s architectural identity. Several original elements have been preserved, including staircases, ceiling beams, wooden floors, and wall structures, creating an authentic atmosphere.
At the same time, the spaces are not purely historical—commercial units are finished in a modern and functional way, offering a contemporary working environment that meets the needs of today’s businesses.
Original structural elements are tastefully combined with newer finishes, creating a balance between historical character and modern comfort. This gives the premises a unique identity not found in new developments, offering added value for companies seeking to stand out.
The building has been renovated and is in good technical condition. Only standard maintenance costs are expected in the coming years.
INVESTMENT
This is a classic investment asset, with value based on a prime location, limited supply, and long-term price stability.
The existing lease structure ensures steady cash flow and offers potential for future rental adjustments in line with market developments.
The yield aligns with prime Old Town real estate, where the focus is on capital preservation and value growth rather than maximum yield.
This property is ideal for an investor who values capital preservation, liquidity, and moderate growth potential.
