Hemso is developing a new 4,300m2 healthcare centre for substance abuse care in Tallbacken in Turku. A 20-year lease agreement has been signed with the Wellbeing Services County of Southwest Finland Varha. Hemso's investment amounts to €15m.
In the new two-story building, the previously scattered social services in Turku will be gathered under one roof. Each unit will have its own entrance and will have spaces that can be separated from other patients if necessary.
“Varha is Hemso's fourth-largest tenant and the largest tenant in Finland. We are pleased to further expand our long-term cooperation. During the planning phase of the new healthcare centre, we involved both patients and representatives from the various units. We captured needs and challenges in the daily operations to ensure that we create synergies between the units. The new premises support multidisciplinary collaboration along each patient's care path. The rooms are designed so that they can be adapted to supported housing at different levels,” said Kirsi Viheriaranta, Project Manager at Hemso in Finland.
Construction is scheduled to start in the summer and occupancy is expected in the fall of 2025. The construction company is Skanska. The new building will have energy class A and Hemsö's ambition is to certify it according to BREEAM Excellent.
