Plans are underway to replace abandoned buildings on Baeri Street in Tartu with three new apartment buildings that will include commercial spaces.
In Tartu, the long-vacant ghost houses on Baeri Street are set to be demolished, making way for three modern apartment buildings planned by businessman Jaan Mugra's company, Kesklinna Kinnisvarad. These new living spaces aim to enhance the local environment rather than cater to short-term rental markets, indicating a shift in development philosophy aimed at creating a community-oriented space.
The development raises questions about the implications for the surrounding neighborhood, including how the introduction of new apartments might affect local commerce and the types of residents that might be drawn to this revitalized area. As the project moves forward, it will reflect the growing trend in Tartu and beyond towards sustainable and thoughtful urban development.
Simultaneously, the Mugra family's previous project in Pärnu is progressing, with apartments and commercial units in the historic Mohri House now finding new owners. This trend of property development could suggest that Baeri Street may follow suit in becoming a model for similar development strategies, contributing to Tartu's urban revitalization efforts.
