\nAmong those placing the cornerstone were Eften Capital CEO Kristjan Tamla<\/strong>, Tartu Municipality Mayor Jarno Laur<\/strong>, Tartu Deputy Mayor Mihkel Lees<\/strong>, Tartu Ehitus Construction Manager Indrek Kann<\/strong>, and S\u00fcdamekodud Council Chairman Martin Kukk<\/strong>. The time capsule included a copy of Tartu Postimees, project documents, a S\u00fcdamekodud brochure, the Tartu Municipality newsletter, and the city\u2019s emblem.
\nAccording to Eften Capital CEO Kristjan Tamla, developing Tartu S\u00fcdamekodu is special for the company in several ways. \u201cAlthough this is already the third elderly care home for Eften, it is the first outside Harjumaa and the first to be designed from the start specifically as a care home. Across Estonia, care homes are increasingly being developed close to where people live and where families can easily visit. We are delighted to build this new S\u00fcdamekodu in cooperation with Estonia\u2019s most professional care operator, S\u00fcdamekodud, and the progressive Tartu Municipality,\u201d said Tamla.
\nTartu Municipality Mayor Jarno Laur<\/strong> expressed his joy that such an important social facility is being built in the municipality, improving access to core community services. \u201cWe are happy to have found such excellent partners in Eften and S\u00fcdamekodud for building and providing services at the new care home. Residents and employees from neighbouring municipalities on both sides of the Emaj\u00f5gi River will also be able to come here, which reflects the spirit of a unified urban region,\u201d Laur said.
\nTartu Deputy Mayor Mihkel Lees<\/strong> noted that the shortage of long-term care home places remains one of the most serious challenges in southern Estonia. \u201cThe approximately 150 places created in recent years have only eased the situation slightly. As the care reform progresses, more and more people will require care services. I\u2019m very pleased that more than 100 new places will be added with the new Tartu S\u00fcdamekodu, offering options also for residents of the city,\u201d Lees said.
\nS\u00fcdamekodud Council Chairman Martin Kukk<\/strong> added that, similar to housing development, building modern care homes increasingly follows people\u2019s preference to live in cities. \u201cWe\u2019ve been developing S\u00fcdamekodud for over six years, and Tartu has always been a city where we\u2019ve wanted to open a care home. Hopefully, in the second half of next year, the construction will reach a stage where we can begin shaping it into a real home. After all, walls, roofs, and foundations don\u2019t make a home \u2014 it\u2019s the people who live and work there who do,\u201d said Kukk.
\nTartu Ehitus Construction Manager Indrek Kann<\/strong> observed that, unlike in the past when such projects were built by a few craftsmen, up to 100 specialists are now involved in constructing the new S\u00fcdamekodu. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful for the trust placed in us to build Tartu\u2019s new care home and hope to celebrate the traditional topping-out ceremony in just a few months,\u201d Kann said.
\nThe care home is being built in cooperation with the EfTEN Real Estate Fund AS<\/a> subsidiary, EfTEN Ermi O\u00dc. Construction is taking place in stages \u2014 by July 2024, the building\u2019s structure and interior works for the first two blocks will be completed. The third block\u2019s interior will follow in the second stage. The total cost of the first phase is approximately \u20ac5.3 million, excluding VAT.
\nTartu S\u00fcdamekodu will be located in a growing residential district designed as a complete environment, including homes, commercial spaces, educational institutions, and public buildings.
\nS\u00fcdamekodud is Estonia\u2019s largest provider of elderly care services, comprising 11 care homes across the country, housing over 800 seniors and employing more than 400 professionals. The group\u2019s homes are located in K\u00e4ru, Piigaste, Lihula, V\u00e4rska, Saaremaa, Kunda, Kohtla-J\u00e4rve, Valkla, Paide, and Tallinn (Meriv\u00e4lja and Pirita), with Tartu soon joining the list. The aim of S\u00fcdamekodud is to create and develop living environments where older people can enjoy a safe and comfortable life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
