Rotermann City OÜ, the owner of the Rotermann Quarter located in central Tallinn, is preparing a bond issuance in cooperation with LHV and intends to list the bonds on the Nasdaq First North market. The offering is planned for the second quarter of 2026. The structure, volume, interest rate, maturity, offering documentation, and other terms of the planned bond issuance will be disclosed prior to the commencement of the subscription period.
The Rotermann Quarter is a unique part of Tallinn’s urban landscape, where historical heritage meets contemporary city culture in a vibrant downtown living and business environment. Since 2005, under the leadership of Urmas Sõõrumaa, the area has undergone a major transformation, evolving into a modern mixed-use urban district that combines historic architecture with contemporary development.
According to the company’s 2025 annual report, its rental portfolio totalled nearly 48,000 square metres at year-end, comprising premium Class A retail, service, and office space, along with close to 500 parking spaces. In 2025, the company generated revenue of €9.3 million, while the value of its investment property portfolio stood at €184.7 million at year-end. The Rotermann Quarter attracted approximately 10 million visits in 2025, and around 3,500 people work in the district on a daily basis.
Kaarel Loigu, Member of the Management Board of Rotermann City, said the company sees strong long-term development potential in Tallinn’s city centre and therefore intends to diversify Rotermann City’s capital structure to support the continued comprehensive development of the district.
“Over the years, the Rotermann Quarter has successfully integrated the historical city centre with a contemporary urban environment. Property values in the area have increased significantly over time, while demand for lease space has remained consistently strong. This provides a solid foundation for Rotermann’s continued growth. Through the planned bond issuance, we aim to strategically strengthen the company’s capital structure, broaden our investor base, and enable members of the wider community to contribute to the district’s future development,” Loigu said.
Silver Kalmus, Head of Debt Capital Markets at LHV, said that investors have been looking for strong and well-established issuers backed by stable cash flows and a high-quality asset base.
Rotermann City’s strengths lie in its solid capitalisation, strong market position, and clearly differentiated concept in the heart of Tallinn, with the district’s attractiveness also evidenced by its high visitor numbers.
Rotermann Quarter as a Shaper of Urban Development
The Rotermann Quarter is one of Tallinn’s most distinctive and prestigious urban districts, where historic industrial heritage has been thoughtfully integrated with contemporary architecture, a high-quality commercial environment, and modern urban living. Located at the crossroads of the Old Town, the central business district, and the harbour area, the quarter has developed into a vibrant urban destination where history and contemporary city life intersect, offering an environment for living, working, dining, and everyday services.
The Rotermann Quarter forms part of the Golden Line real estate portfolio owned by Urmas Sõõrumaa. In addition to Rotermann, the portfolio includes major central Tallinn developments such as Artius, Talsinki, Golden Gate, La Marina, Grand Avenue, and Patarei Sea Fortress, among others, which together contribute to the transformation of Tallinn’s city centre and harbour district into an integrated urban area with an international character.
