In Helsinki the builders of detached houses are enjoying a golden age. In the first half of the current year, as many as 199 building permits have been granted for one-family and two-family houses.
"Of the past four years, the last two years have been the best. The city has been zoning land for detached houses in clusters mainly in the northern and northeastern parts of Helsinki", - reports Director Lauri Jääskeläinen of the City of Helsinki’s Building Regulation Department.
