New construction thrives and housing services develop rapidly
Our strong renewal continued in real estate business
- We increased the number of Lumo apartments mainly by building new properties, and began to develop the Lumo brand into a frontrunner in urban housing.
- We launched significant new construction and conversion projects in growth centres and divested non-strategic apartments. To increase the supply of urban housing, we acquired the value properties previously used by the Metropolia University of Applied. Our goal is to refine them from modern city apartments to the best locations.
- At the end of the year our property portfolio totaled to 34,383, of which 95 per cent is situated in the seven biggest cities in Finland. There were 1,525 rental apartments under construction, mainly in Helsinki metropolitan area.
- To meet our growth targets, we continued to diversify and strengthen our financing base. Our public credit rating (Moody's Baa2 with a stable outlook) and the EUR 500 million bond listed on the Irish Stock Exchange support our goal of investing in Lumo homes in urbanising Finland.
The best customer experience and service development in housing at the heart of better urban living
- We developed new and existing services, including Lumotalkkarit property caretakers, Pihakoutsi sports services and Lumo car sharing service. We strengthened the role of property managers in building a housing experience.
- The Lumo webshop grew strongly and has already made 4,000 leases. All new and vacant Lumo apartments are available for rent on Lumo online store 24 hours a day.
- We launched the Lumo brand as an open service development platform and we invited companies at different growth stages to develop residential services together with us.
We are strongly focusing on market-based operations
In five years, we have invested EUR 1.7 billion in the Lumo business operations in Finland

Industry operating environment and outlook 2018
Industry operating environment
- Driven by migration, the demand for rental housing is expected to remain strong in major growth centres. Supply has grown significantly, which is reflected in increasing tenant turnover in particular.
- According to a forecast by Pellervo Economic Research, the increase in rents will continue in growth centres, but it will become more moderate.
- According to Statistics Finland, apartment prices rose during the financial year compared to the year before. The rise was fastest in the Helsinki Metropolitan region. Outside of growth centres, pric-es have decreased in the past few years. The increase in the Helsinki Metropolitan region is attributable to the high demand for apartments and the low supply of plots.
Outlook for 2018
- Kojamo estimates that in 2018, net rental income will amount to EUR 219–232 million.
- Investments in new development and housing stock acquisitions are forecast to exceed EUR 300 million.
- Kojamo estimates that in 2018, its operative result will be EUR 101–113 million.
- The outlook takes into account the effects of the housing divestments and acquisitions planned for 2018, the estimated occupancy rate and the number of apartments under construction.
