Merko Ehitus Launches 23-Apartment Volta 1b Project in Tallinn's…

Event summary

Merko Ehitus' joint venture OÜ Krulli Kodud launches Volta 1b project in Tallinn's Krulli Quarter, comprising three apartment buildings with 23 units.
Prices start at €6,600 per square meter, with completion scheduled for early 2028.
The project is part of a larger 10-hectare Krulli Quarter development planned to include 20 buildings and 600 homes over the next decade.
First development phase includes an event center (2027), Kasvuhoone business center (2028), and mixed-use buildings.
Merko Ehitus group reported €311 million revenue in 2025 with 613 employees across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

The big picture

This project represents Merko Ehitus' continued bet on Tallinn's urban expansion, particularly in mixed-use developments combining residential and commercial spaces. The €311 million revenue base suggests capacity for large-scale projects, but execution risks remain in coordinating multiple simultaneous developments. The Krulli Quarter's long-term vision positions Merko as a key player in Estonia's urban transformation, though success will depend on maintaining momentum across a decade-long development cycle.
