GALLERY: Pro Kapital Held a Legends Night at Kalarand
On the evening of September 7th, the real estate development company Pro Kapital celebrated the meeting of two legends and marked the beginning of the third and final phase of Kalaranna Quarter, during which the last 4 buildings will be completed.
In the Middle Ages, Kalarand was a mooring place for the city's fishing boats. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Kalarand was the major trading place for fishermen in the Tallinn area, where about a tenth of Estonia's fish catch was sold. During that time, the region's large and successful fish factories also operated successfully, and from that era, the now world-renowned Tallinn sprats became a best-selling commodity.
Pro Kapital has now brought to life the legendary city district in all its grandeur and bustle. Today, one will not see fishermen, fishing boats, and fish factories in the quarter, but its former magnificence and revival are palpable. On the evening of September 7th, guests were given the opportunity to meet, so to speak, two old legends in the historic Kalaranna Quarter – the district itself and a unique British legend from an Estonian collector's private collection brought for just that evening: the Morgan 3 Wheeler in its newer version, which is reportedly the only one in Estonia.
A wonderful musical performance was given by Sandra Hiie on electric violin. Impressive culinary art, both taste experiences and visual delights, were offered by Heiter X Food Experience and Artisan Cocktail Bar.
Interior design salon Atelier brought captivating design to the evening, which the new homeowners of Kalaranna Quarter can also transfer to their homes if they wish with their help.
According to Maria Varblase, Pro Kapital's marketing and sales manager, the purpose of the gathering was to bring together people who have already purchased homes or investment apartments in the quarter and plan to do so in the future.
To date, eight buildings have been completed in Kalaranna Quarter on the shores of Tallinn Bay in the Põhja-Tallinn district, a square connecting the buildings, the Kalaranna park area, and a promenade. The harbor and beach area have also been renovated, largely preserving the existing natural environment. The quarter is planned as a car-free urban space where parking is completely underground.
The architects of Kalaranna Quarter are Mihkel Tüür and Ott Kadarik (Kadarik Tüür Architects). The landscape architects are Maarja Tüür and Kerttu Kõll (Sfäär Planning). The interior architect of the homes is Galina Burnakova.
