ABOUT US - BUILT FOR LIFE

We provide our customers unique business premises and renewing services in historic properties which we develop into lively city blocks. We are a Finnish property development and investment company, boldly different and responsible. Our locations are built for life.

Our business operations are based on our strong client base and on varied premises and services for them. Also the interest in taking historical properties into use again and developing them, utilising existing infrastructure and introducing renewable sources of energy are factors bringing us together with the customers and various decision-makers.

OUR CUSTOMERS

Our customers are companies and organisations of different sizes and the public sector. Our customers’ business operations are facing various challenges and changes. We want to serve our customers in the changing business environment and guarantee them competitive premises in all situations. Our aim is to develop a customer and service-oriented operating model that invests in facilitating the customer’s needs for premises and related business essentials. 

CREATIVE AND CONCEPTUALISED

  •  For us, premises are much more than just square metres. 
  •  We implement operating environments which provide services.
  •  We are present at our sites.

COMMUNAL

We are part of a larger community: when we develop our properties, our role often expands into being a developer of entire blocks or city areas. This is simply due to the sites we own being traditional and large former production and factory areas around which cities were once built. Our properties are part of the existing urban infrastructure. 

Today, a community spirit is reflected in the everyday lives of our properties in many ways: our customers meet each other in co-working facilities, leisure and cultural premises or the cosy cafeterias and restaurants located in our premises. We connect and network customer companies in our properties. 

LOCAL

Our sites are located at central, easily accessible locations. Because we own properties in six cities, we are also a nationally-attractive resource.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

 

We are a Finnish property developer, boldly different and responsible. This statement is based on the cornerstone of our business: we own several large former industrial properties around which city centres grew. We put these properties to new uses and develop them into lively city blocks in cooperation with different parties in the area. Our locations are built for life.

When we develop properties for new uses, we comply with responsible principles that withstand time. We take environmental values and the needs of society into account. In addition to cities and municipalities, we cooperate with various regional parties and organisations in our development work.

Customers’ needs are the starting point for all of our operations, including property development. Our aim is to provide our customers with facility and concept solutions that meet their needs for premises in a developing urban environment. Our customers include both the private and public sector.

Our largest development sites are currently the Asko area in Lahti, Porin Puuvilla city block in Pori and Silkkitehdas city block in Vantaa. Our other development sites are the Finlayson district in Forssa, WSOYtalo building in Porvoo and an office and small-scale production property in Höyläämötie 3, Helsinki. Our total leasable floor area is approximately 312,000 square metres, and there is almost as much in unused building rights.

Responsibly into the future

 

Our property base is a cross-section of the Finnish economy. In accordance with circular economics, we have put historically significant industrial environments back into use and developed them into lively city blocks. Resource wisdom is at the core of our operations. 

In the past, cities grew around our property locations. We are excited that we are able to bring these areas back to life in cooperation with cities and companies.

We have jointly succeeded in modernising premises, properties and entire areas. We have also taken into use renewable forms of energy offered by the Finnish nature. We are jointly creating a sustainable city culture which will last for the next 100 years.

THREE STARS FOR RESPONSIBILITY

Renor annually takes part in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) rating. In 2018, results were reported and evaluated for operations in 2017. We achieved three stars out of five and a Green Star designation. Our score improved by 5 points from last year. In total, GRESB globally assessed 903 real estate investment companies and property companies in 2018. Our results exceeded the averages for all participants, and we placed fifth among non-listed Nordic participants. We have continued increasing the amount of renewable energy used in our properties. As a result, we succeeded in reducing our portfolio’s CO2 emissions by approximately 30% in 2017 compared to 2016.

Furthermore, we are committed to following the energy efficiency agreement for the property sector, which has been concluded between the property sector, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, the Ministry of the Environment and the Finnish Energy Authority for 2017–2025.

RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES SUIT OUR DEVELOPMENT SITES

Our extensive utilisation of renewable energy solutions reduces the environmental burden caused by our locations. We are experts in this respect. 

Naturally right in Asko area

In the Asko area properties in Lahti, we produced 160,000 kWh of cooling from groundwater in 2016. The Asko area utilises renewable energy sources extensively: the groundwater system is used for cooling approximately 15,000 square metres of offices, restaurants and lobbies. The  electricity consumption is approximately 30–50 per cent smaller compared to premises equipped with traditional cooling. This corresponds to the average consumption of electricity of approximately 13 single-family houses. 

The efficiency of geothermal energy production was increased in summer 2018 by drilling a new well near the old one. This is the first geothermal energy system of considerable size to utilise groundwater in Finland. Its power is 0.3 MW. When completed, the wells will form a coupled system, and they can be used as a genuine ATES (aquifer thermal energy storage) system. The current water supply of 600 cubic metres a day will increase to 1,000 cubic metres. Through this, the monthly heating capacity will be increased from 100 megawatt hours to approximately 160 megawatt hours.

The Askotalo building is BREEAM In-Use GOOD-certified with regard to both the building and technical maintenance.

Genuinely ecological Puuvilla shopping centre

In spring 2017, one of Finland’s largest property-specific solar power plants was put in use in the shopping centre. Now, 2,226 solar panels produce approximately 534,000 kWh of solar power per year. This is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 266 apartments in a block of flats. The solar power plant also further reduces emissions by approximately 300 tonnes a year. Puuvilla is committed to using purchased electricity of which 50% is generated with wind power.  In addition, Puuvilla extensively utilises geothermal energy, accounting for 98% of Puuvilla’s annual heating and cooling energy needs.

The Puuvilla shopping centre has been awarded the Platinum LEED environmental certification.

Forssa – praise from the environment 

The Vanha Kutomo building in the Finlayson district in Forssa is BREEAM In-Use GOOD-certified with regard to both the building and maintenance. The result is excellent, considering that the building has more than 160 years of history.

Geothermal energy used in the Silkkitehdas city block 

Renor’s aim is for the Silkkitehdas city block to be as environmentally friendly as possible. In fact, the first phase of the block included the construction of a geothermal power plant. It accounts for the entire block’s cooling and heating energy supply apart from the residential block of flats. The geothermal power plant was completed in the turn of the year 2018–2019. 

The office building Konttori in the block was completed in the beginning of January 2019. The property was LEED Gold -certified in connection with the renovation.
