Hemsö develops a new nursing home in Turku
Hemsö develops a new nursing home with 170 places in Turku. A 22-year lease agreement has been signed with the Wellbeing Services County of Southwest Finland, Varha. The lettable area will be 6,600 square meters. Hemsö’s investment amounts to EUR 22 million.
The building will accommodate 70 nursing home places and 100 places for rehabilitation and assessment services. The nursing home is being developed in the Luolavuori district in central Turku.
“The building is designed with a high degree of flexibility, making it possible to adapt the premises for future needs of nursing homes and elderly living. For example, certain spaces on the floors could be converted into residential space in the future,” says Simo Karjalainen, Head of Project Development at Hemsö in Finland.
The surrounding pine forest will remain a natural part of everyday life for both residents and staff. Existing vegetation on the site will be preserved as far as possible, and the courtyards will be planted with various native plants.
Construction is scheduled to start in autumn 2026, with completion expected in spring 2028. Hemsö’s ambition is to certify the building according to BREEAM Excellent. The construction contractor is NCC.
Hemsö owns over 200,000 square meters of nursing homes and social and healthcare properties in Finland. The new nursing home will be one of Hemsö’s twelve properties in Turku. The Wellbeing Services County of Southwest Finland, Varha, is Finland’s third largest wellbeing services county in terms of population and the second largest in terms of number of employees.
