The sale price of the Haapahuhta school, the residential building in its immediate vicinity and the 1,6-hectare yard area is 160,000 euros. The buyer will continue to rent the property with the Kanta-Häme welfare area, Oma Häme, and other tenants. The welfare area currently organizes work and day activities for disabled people in the premises.

The city is selling the building called Mäkikuja Family Centre in the welfare area at the building's revised calculated undepreciated balance sheet value. The calculated balance sheet value was approximately 1,2 million euros at the end of last year.

The condition of the deal is that the welfare area leases the plot from the city for 30 years. The plot rent would be 37,100 euros per year. The Vitality Board will decide on the lease on Thursday, February 26, 2026.

The Technical Committee has previously handled the sales of the Haapahuhta school and residential building and the Mäkikuja family center properties. Previously, the Committee has rejected the highest offers submitted for the Haapahuhta school. Previously, the Committee authorized negotiations to be held on the sale of the Mäkikuja family center and to submit the results of the negotiations for a decision at a later date.
