Harjukylä, Hämeenkatu 48-50, Rity

Kiinteistö Oy Riihimäen Hämeenkatu 48 has made plans with its partner T2H Rakennus Oy for the building located on the plot, the so-called About replacing the Rity building with a new residential and commercial building. The project requires changing the site plan and demolishing the building on the site.

The city's demolition permit was granted to the existing building in 2017. In the statement requested by the city about the demolition application, the Finnish Museum Agency states, among other things: Rity-talo is not located in a nationally significant built cultural environment. Only half of the original plan has been implemented. The building has been repaired several times, so that you can hardly see the original interiors. In addition, the building would require large investments in renovation measures. Consequently, the Museum Agency does not object to the requested demolition permit. However, since the building is located in an urban-impressive location at the end of Hämeenkatu, special attention must be paid to the quality and implementation of the new construction as well as adaptation to the environment.

At its meeting on June 11.6.2018, XNUMX, the City Council has decided to approve the development of a site plan amendment for the plot with the aim of e.g. the following principles:
The land's purpose of use will be changed to a block area (AL) of residential and commercial buildings, which will be assigned commercial premises at street level on the Hämeenkatu side. Construction areas for two apartment buildings with floor numbers 4-5 and 8-9 are assigned to the plot. The lower building is located along Valtakäyrä and the higher one at the end of Hämeenkatu.
