The City of Vantaa is selling the property at Harrikuja 2a in Nikinmäki, which contains the former Jokivarren primary school. The property will be sold to the highest bidder.

The winning bidder may be granted 6 months to apply for a building permit and, if necessary, a deviation permit before the sale is concluded. This period may be extended for a justified reason.

The property for sale (92-86-43-3) includes a two-storey wooden main building of approximately 322 m² in need of major renovation, originally built as a primary school in 1922. The property also contains a weak / dilapidated wooden outbuilding, with an area of approximately 114 m². Building areas have not been re-measured.

The property is connected to municipal utilities. The main building has electric heating and tiled stoves; their condition or usability is unknown.

The plot area is 2,503 m² and the building right is approx. 516 m². Changing the use of the building requires a deviation decision and a building permit.

In the local detailed plan the property is zoned Y (area for public buildings). In addition to the existing buildings, another outbuilding or carport is allowed. According to the plan provisions, outbuildings and carports must form a noise barrier. A new building must have a machine-seamed metal roof. The area may include a dwelling necessary for the maintenance of the property. Parking requirements will be determined when issuing the building permit.

The main building is protected in the local detailed plan as a building of historical, building-historical, architectural and environmental significance. The building or any part of it may not be demolished nor may repair, alteration or extension works be carried out that would endanger the preservation of these values. A statement from the local museum authority must be obtained for repair, alteration and extension works. A designer experienced with historic buildings should be used. Inside the school building, the room layout and fireplaces, the stairwells and the old school hall are protected.

The building may contain hazardous substances; no hazardous-material survey has been carried out. A condition survey of the main building was carried out in November 2025. The building requires extensive repairs and the buyer should study the site and the report carefully.

While owned by the city a building permit was applied for in 2021. The intention then was to repair the main building and to construct an outbuilding between the main building and the existing outbuilding. No repair or construction work under the granted permit has been commenced and the permit has lapsed. The main drawings related to that permit can be found in the notice documents.

The buyer is responsible for applying for any required change of use and the associated building permit. All repair costs are borne by the buyer. The buyer must inspect the property carefully. The buyer is responsible for removing at their own cost any rubbish that may be on the property or in the buildings before the sale.

The seller reserves the right to accept or reject the highest offer.

Bids for the Jokivarren primary school must be submitted via Huutokaupat.com no later than 27 February 2026 at 18:00. Bids submitted by other means or after the above deadline will be rejected.

The winning bidder will be offered the opportunity to also buy the adjacent property owned by the seller (92-86-43-4) for €75,000, if desired. The area of 92-86-43-4 is 1,817 m². In the local plan this plot is also zoned Y (area for public buildings) and a building area has been allocated enabling 300 m² of construction.
