Seafront development opportunity in Karhusaari, Helsinki, Helsinki

Exceptional development opportunity in Karhusaari – auction sale, seaside location and significant development potential!

Welcome to Karhusaari, Helsinki’s hidden gem, where a unique maritime setting meets a rarely available development opportunity. This property is sold by auction and offers an exceptional chance for a private builder as well as especially for a developer or housebuilder.

The sale concerns a parcel to be severed at closing from a larger plot into a plot of approximately 2,000 m². There is already a valid exemption decision for one detached small house on this proposed plot, and with the new plan the development potential is significant: the plot may be subdivided into separate smaller plots of at least 500 m² each. Once the plan is confirmed, it would be possible to realise several detached houses, semi-detached houses or even a terraced housing complex. Such development opportunities are very rare in the Helsinki area.

The location in Karhusaari is exceptional – maritime, peaceful and prestigious. The surroundings provide excellent conditions for high-quality living, which also makes the site particularly attractive from the perspective of demand for finished homes.

There is also an existing concept designed for the property that enables construction of a detached house. If you wish, you may use the existing plans or choose to develop the plot more extensively in line with the opportunities offered by the new plan. The plan is part of the zoning amendment for the northern part of Karhusaari, Helsinki, reference number 12818, and the revised proposal is, according to the planner, progressing to the Urban Environment Committee during spring 2026.

The area combines natural tranquillity with Helsinki’s services: nearby you will find schools, day nurseries and basic services, and transport connections to the city centre are smooth. The maritime environment, greenery and calm make this location particularly desirable.

This is a property that combines: - A rare location in Helsinki - Significant development potential - Flexible delivery for both private and professional builders - An auction sale that allows value to be determined by the market

Properties of this kind rarely come to market – now is the right time to seize the opportunity.
