After years of studying, I can proudly say that I finished eve- rything and that I am graduated. My studying career was a quite a long one and not always that easy, but it has been a wonderful time where I have learned many things and developed myself. The pro- cess of the master thesis, from the beginning till the end, reflects these previous years perfectly. Alt- hough I am the one who will receive the degree, I could not have done this without the support and help of many during the years of studying in general and during the writing of this thesis in particular. Therefore I would like to thank the ones who helped and supported me. I want to start by thanking my colleagues at Estonian Holidays and especially Maila Saar, Lars Saar and Mari-Liis Makke.

This has even become part of local folklore. Yet the conclusion drawn by many Estonians, including several prominent gures, that the Presi- dent is looking for one single product like Pippi Longstocking once looked for Spunk - is somewhat unexpected. As a matter of fact, the President of Estonia is not supposed to seek Estonia’s Nokia. I am seeking it for you. For those who are too lazy to do it themselves. However, it is every Estonian proprietor’s task to look for their own so-called Nokias, and nd at least six of them annually. The key factor to innovation is man. I have used this example of Nokia to draw attention to the product that Estonia does not make in large quantities - this is world-class labour force. A study loan taken with the intention to get proper education and training would consti- tute a safe investment in any case, for the borrowers will, sooner or later, rise to such high and well-paid positions that returning the loan is as easy as anything. Having adopted Western-type business culture and well functioning marketing mechanisms, it is now primarily in the eld of intellectual property that Estonia, in order to survive in the third round, needs to be able to create surplus value.

  • Tallinn City Centre Photo: Andrei Pustovalov Photo: Andrei the City Centre in a Nutshell
    estonia Tallinn City Centre Photo: Andrei Pustovalov Photo: Andrei The city centre in a nutshell If it is ever possible to attach signifi cance to a city district as being the most important in the country, the city centre of Tallinn is it due to its high concentration of government and cultural institutions. The city centre is home to both parliamentary and government buildings (on Toompea Hill), ministries, Tallinn City Council and Tallinn City Government, the Estonia National Opera, a variety of theatres and concert halls, the National Library, the National Stadium and numerous museums and churches. As such, the residents of the district are always at the heart of political and cultural life in Estonia. The City Centre district was formed on 4 March 1993 by a decision of Tallinn City Council that divided the capital into eight local government units with limited powers. Prior to this reform, what is now considered the city centre had been divided between four districts (Kalinin, Lenin, Meri and Oktoober), each of which bordered one side of Town Hall Square. Due to its location, the city centre can be considered a link between the other districts of Tallinn, as it borders Põhja-Tallinn, Kristiine, Nõmme, Lasnamäe and Pirita alike. Rae municipality and the Baltic Sea are also direct neighbours. The administrative area of the city centre also includes Lake Ülemiste and Aegna Island in the Gulf of Finland. As at 1 September 2020, the population of the City Centre district was 63,692. That makes it the third largest district in Tallinn after Lasnamäe and Mustamäe, but there is only one other town or city in Estonia with a larger population: Tartu.

  • Real Estate Market Review
    ESTONIA REAL ESTATE MARKET REVIEW ANNUAL REPORT, MARCH 2012 ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ § ¡ © £ Accelerating success. STRONG RECOVERY - EXPECTATIONS FOR STEADY GROWTH Estonia’s economic growth continued to recover above expectations in 2011, driven by exports to key trade partners, most notably Finland and Sweden, thus stimulating demand growth in the Estonian commercial real estate market. In the retail sector the Euro adoption did not cause the anticipated decline in consumption and retail sales showed stable growth throughout the year. The surprisingly good sales were to some extent supported by foreign tourists, who visited Estonia in record numbers in 2011. In 2011, oRce sector experienced the high take-up rate for quality class A and B oRce premises and an unexpected increase in the level of development activity - driven largely by the public sector. Rents in most sectors Vnally strengthened and showed an increase in an upward trend. Vacancy rates continued to decrease throughout the year and remain eWectively nil in some segments such as CBD oRce and retail in modern shopping centres. AVO RÕÕMUSSAAR The Investment market, one of the major indicators of a real estate market health, continued its speedy recovery in 2011, the total investment volume achieved ca 250 Partner, Director million EUR in 2011, which is approximately three times as much as in 2010. 2011 saw Colliers International, Estonia the largest single investment deal ever on the Estonian market – Finnish listed retail investor Citycon acquired Kristiine shopping centre in Tallinn for EUR 105 million. Although crisis times are presumably over and there is a sense of optimism in the market, this does not signal a return to boom-times by any means.
