Urmas Sõõrumaa will buy the Foorum Centre located next to the Rotermann Quarter

US Real Estate will buy the Foorum Centre located next to the Rotermann Quarter to breathe new life into the building and the surrounding area and create a more complete living and business environment for people around the Rotermann Quarter and the Foorum Centre.

“Our goal is to further improve the surroundings of the Rotermann Quarter and give the area located next to the city's busiest intersection a new lease of life,” said Urmas Sõõrumaa, owner of US Real Estate. “The Golden Gate office building at Ahtri 6, , will create an excellent connection with the seaside area,  the purchase of the Foorum Centre is a part of our plan to open the Rotermann Quarter in the direction of Narva Road.”

The Foorum Centre is a modern A+ class building located at the intersection of Hobujaama Street and Narva Road. The first floor of the office building has a shopping street that connects Hobujaama and Narva Road. Office spaces are located on the upper floors. There is a total of 9,600 square meters of leasable space, half of which is commercial space and half is office space. The entire building is fully leased to 50 tenants, the largest of which are KPMG, Vapiano and Swedbank. There are 135 parking spaces on the underground floor.

The city of Tallinn has signed a contract for the construction of a tramway, according to which the new tramway will run between the Rotermann Quarter and Foorum. As a result, Hobujaama Street and Hobujaama Square will get a new lease of life and visiting the centre will become even more convenient for everyone.

US Real Estate will buy the Foorum Centre from Foorum Invest OÜ and Foorum Valduse OÜ. The seller was advised by Ellex Raidla and Redgate Capital in cooperation with Newsec Baltics. The transaction will enter into force after receiving permission from the Competition Authority in the autumn of 2022.
